I watch this daily. But it just struck me. Trading Russell/ TF in the 400s? And it was 750 last month? Is this crazy, or what? Pity all the business owners that the index represents. I don't envy anyone having to pay employees, rent and expenses in this market.
This month has been good so far for me and I pay employees, rent and expense. I am probably doing better than anyone who has most of their money in a 401k. The stock market does not always reflect reality. Even today, with another 400 or so drop, people were still coming into our store. I already have an offer to buy our business, but they want me to self finance, so I may just make one of the employees a manager and run the place as an absentee owner and wait till the credit market is no longer frozen so that I can wait for a better offer. Why don't you turn off your computer, and go outside to your favorite place or restaurant, I bet you still see alot of people there. I now need to order some more stuff before 4 pm so that I get just in time inventory by Monday since I am sold out on most items right now.
