Would Old English be good with you then? Or maybe Pig Latin?
Hark my fair admin, Old English does assail my senses. Ixnay.

Isn't that a little extreme? What made you decide to do this right now?
I am curious but not meaning to be critical - - believe me, I think most of us are pretty freaked right now. What effect will this have on your ER income and your ability to live a lifestyle reasonably close to that to which you are accustomed? What was "the last straw"?

I'm still unhappy we haven't reinstituted the uptick rule. I hope they are looking for naked shorters. I can't believe the massive dumping of stocks done over very short periods in the last week involved "real" shares.

I'm not selling. Going down with the ship. But if one truly believes the market will reach 6,000 and now some 5,000, might not be such a bad idea. Save yourself another 40% drop. And the sell off has the momentum to reach those levels.
Again, I'm not selling now. I don't know the bottom and I have been burned by bailing late in the game on previous corrections. But I can understand why some are selling now.
I haven't been one to call a bottom, but we may have hit one. We've gone from -695 to -120 in five minutes. It's come off that a little bit, but still...If this isn't capitulation, I don't know what it will take to get us there.
Same here. If I do I know there will be a sudden huge upturn while I'm still hiding in the bunker...To be completely honest, I don't know what I can do but hold on and stay the course at this point.
Hang in there, there is no such thing as a stock market of zero, we are about at the bottom, have patience, go fishing, it will come back up.

Even though I'm a passenger I can't stop watching the train wreck...I agree. Everybody off the board today! Take a walk, mow the grass, wash the dog, whatever. Quit sitting around freaking out. And turn off the TV! Signing off, see you later tonight or tomorrow. Taking a mental health day.

This may be one of the best indicators yet. When the "buy and hold" types throw in the towel.
From whence came that opinion? Hearken! Methinks ye should hearken to other forms of English.
Lo and behold, others gather to agree!!
Hence, varlet, do not tarry, but flee, fleee, fleeeee!!!!

(and it IS nice out here in the Northeast - a walk would not be amiss...)
When even Berkshire Hathaway is down 20% in less than 30 minutes, you have to wonder. Either this is the beginning of the worst economy since the early thirties or it's one of the buying opportunity of a lifetime. I am going to guess the latter.
BK has a lot of businesses that will suffer a lot in a recession
Buffet also made some commodity related investments in the last few years and those are being crushed
I've become glued to the financial web sites, I need an intervention. I'm trying to scrape together some extra cash to throw into the market. It's really weird to keep going, "Dang, it's really hit bottom now and I only have x $ to throw in....oops, nevermind" over and over.
