Let's watch the Dow...

currently..the DJIA is unchanged on very very low volume.

OK. I'm in.

I hope it crashes down 500 points so I can bottom feed.. but it will probably bounce.

Where did it open?
I'm trying to find a good site to watch - any links?

i was joking..it opens in 36 minutes

Shows you how much I know!

Here's what I have for opening then.

Dow 12,159.21
Nasdaq 2,346.90
S&P 1,333.25
10-Yr Note 104.84

I watch Google finance, it updates instantly and the chart is scaleable plus it has the news in a seperate section

i ll get some pop corns - it might POP 500 corn kernels tonight

Looks like it already lost 300 points since I opened it...

I suck.

Dow +118.76 +0.98% 12,277.97

Highly significant contribution,wing-ed.

If i recall correctly,most times when W speaks the market
takes a dive.Then there's always the International 'scene'.

Friday night's when all the bad news hits the tube from the
beltway.


I like watching it go Up & down.

I heard on Headline News this morning that the "Stimulus Plan" is just an advance on next year's tax refund. In other words, IT'S A TRAP. The only sane thing to do with that money is to bank it in whatever you feel is the most responsible way possible so that when they raise taxes next year, you have something to pay the extra burden with (having gotten your refund ahead of time).

I suppose passing out shackles would have been to obvious, huh?

With the 300+ drop yesterday, I don't consider this flying! If it makes up the loss and then goes another 118 - then I'd agree with you.

Today will be the dead cat bounce. It is too psychologically damaging to have the numbers down again. Especially with the US market closed on Mon. It will be up today from yesterday's low, but not enough.

Would not watching the tele or perhaps the market channels be a wee bit faster to get the hubbub.

damn dow. fuckin with doom again. let it drop alrighht

probably a dead cat bounce.. still too many overinflated pigs out there that have just recently broken key technical support levels. The VIX is still pretty low, we've gotta go lower yet short term.

Boeing is unchanged, but has gone from 107 in September to about 79 now. If you owned about two thousand shares, which might be typical for a long-term employee with a 401(k), it means you lost about $56,000 over the past 4 months. Add to that a hit of maybe $30-50 thousand on the value of your home, and if you were within a year of retirement, you might be changing your plans.

I'm planning on retiring in about three or four years. If the stock and the home values don't go back up in that time, I will be p*ssed (and poor).

It's losing it's "up" already...

I'm with you on this one.
I think it'll end up a bad, bad day on the street.
I would be happy to be wrong.

I PREDICT A 210 PT HIGH....

Some of us still have jobs and do not have access to a tv. I appreciate hearing what some people here have to say about all this, too. We've been getting a dozen or more threads every morning about what the dow is doing - I thought a preemptive thread might consolidate some of that.
