  5. we talked about this a while back. this is ABSOLUTE FEAR AND PANIC. japan is don't 10% at the moment. close your eyes people and start buying tomorrow. don't put the whole wad on but it's time to start nibbling if you're a long term investor. i was bearish forever and waiting for this kind of fear. i am buying japan, china, and india right now. started buying today (early obviously) but will buy more on every dip here. probably buy ALOT tomorrow.

    It's the hardest thing in the world to do as an investor. don't bet the ranch, it's NOT the bottom, but it's time to start going long people. I don't expect anyone to listen, but i'll post my thoughts anyway.

  6. I was talking VERY short term, like a span of 20 minutes. :D

  7. Flip the monitor to get that steady rally. This is the only way one will see a rally in these markets for a while.

  8. With all due respect, f**k that noise. We're in a severely irrational panic mode.
