People leave groceries at the check out

People with limited funds have always left things at the checkout counter. They just use the clerk as their calculator. There may be many more people with limited funds these days, but this event is a normal event.

 

So what? Who the hell cares if it's manipulated as long as it's trade-able? Every time someone overpays for something in a market prices are "manipulated" up - when they sell too low it's manipulated down. Those with the most money make the market move the most, doesn't mean they have to make smart decisions.


I honestly don't know why people complain so much. If you have it figured out you should be rich enough to change things the way you see fit. If you haven't made that much money you are a failure in life and correct only in your mind.

I love the discounts I hope this recession never ends. I also love the return of actual customer service, salespeople who will go out of their way to make a sale.

 

No I was referring to my S&P calls on March 2 and March 10. The Dow is for old ladies and newbies.

You might just be in luck.

 

The market is NOT up 50% this year. It's up about 11% - ballparking the move from 925 to 1025. It's up 50% from the lows.

 

Read the thread. My calls were in early March from around 700.
