Outside of my retirement accounts, I have not once been interested in playing around in the markets.

There are so many variables in all that stuff that I don't understand in the slightest, I don't see how anyone can really grasp what the fuck is going on.

I agree with the first part. The company I work for matches 100% of my contributions to my 401k. It's really a win/win if the company you work for does this.

Variables are what make the market amazing. I love speculation and the craziness it brings. I have gotten rich quick and lost a chunk of change just as fast. As someone that gambles a lot I really feel like its how you read the market not what the expert say the market is going to do. Buffett is a great example of going against what experts say was the right thing to do at the time.

he's my idol - and the one I've mentioned in this thread

all about keeping cash reserves available for a pull back and buying when the iron is hot.

Yesterday's "fall", I feel, was all automated loss protections, especially NFLX.

I agree 100%, but I've always worked for myself, and so have to make these decisions. I've started to allocate more to mutuals, like fsphx, and get over paying the management fee..pay the pro to do the job, and stop worrying about it.

Most of my money is in indexes that I have company confidence in.

I play around with some "free" money and typically heavily leverage it in a company or 3.
 
sometimes I think it would be a good idea to walk around with dirty sunglasses on and wearing earplugs, just to filter out the bs/noise.

SOO fucking tired of the media blathering about interest rates

put some fear out there, people (those that have some play money and think the stock market is an "investment") slow their investing strategy and shift to more bonds, market slumps... prevents the Fed from raising interest rates.

it's an incredibly smart thing to do - especially when you hear of numbers like "the 1% controls 50% of the wealth of the world"

What happens when the pros are wrong or take your money? Call me paranoid but I don't trust anyone with goobs of my money.

I never said Buffett was a gambler but you bring up a good point.

I feel the same. Kinda like states that have people pump your gas for you. Sure, they do it a whole lot more than you do, but are they really any better at it?

Why? JVC's cam is better and cheaper.

Because JVCKenwood isn't a good buy right now :laughing

JVC got delisted when Kenwood acquired them and Kenwood is traded on Tyco for $235 w/ $35B in cap

if it falls under $175 it might be a decent buy - since they're in the middle of restructuring right now

but they've been operating in the red for a lil while

Also GoPro makes one thing and JVC/Kenwood make a ton of stuff. I get worried with companies that do that. Another note is no one knows JVC even has a camera but if you mention personal camera everyone says GoPro. Marketing baby!

KMB is looking pretty cheap compared to GPRO.

looking at historical trends - at $110 a share, I would run away. Unless those are splits that forced the cliffs - I will look into that some more :teeth

they were 2-1 splits with @60 cent dividends paid out - It might be wise to buy now.
