Default The Dow got HAMMERED

Closed down 530.94. The Volatility Index (VIX) is at 28.03. Above 25 is called "True Fear." Above 30 is the "Chicken Little" scenario. I guess the sky isn't falling JUST yet...

I have a BIL who is deep into the market. Been texting with him all day. He is a liberal democrat. I been hammerin' him with.."I hope we slide into a Depression, then all you liberals can have a wet dream cause we will have income equality as we're all broke". Well, he didn't like that message, so I asked him.."what, only other peoples' money can disappear?" I been poundin' him for hours on end, wishing we would all go bankrupt. Told him I would pick out a skyscraper for him to jump off when the market crashes. He's probably mixing likker and xanax by now....

Nah. I still have gains. I don't trade short term. The broader markets have been lower recently.
Just remember, when the crowd panics, buy.

Yup, my 401k is getting beat up but, I'm holding on and buying more. It'll flip soon and I'll have more in the pot.

Yup, the contrarian view has made me quite a tidy profit over many years.
