We're trying to get them ironed out.
I admit I was starting to get worried the last few days. I feel like a junkie needing a fix.
Glad we're back!

I fully agree to this point. I really love being on this forum, I really respect the opinions of a lot of people on here, and normally come here first to figure out what news around the world is worth reading about.Tyler wrote: I feel like a junkie needing a fix.

I mean, seriously, WTF kind of asset allocation includes such a volatile asset as stocks? 25% of my money has lost, what, 10% over the last 3 days. 10% loss in 3 days !!!!!!!!! Whoever suggested I buy stocks is a friggin idiot.
Amen. I believe 25% equal weight PPers were up for the week! How satisfying is it to look at and hear all the news stories on the terrible week and 500 point drop and stay the course, it's all China, etc and not even care!rickb wrote:
The point is the PP lets you ignore this kind of hysteria. Yeah, yeah, yeah - the stock market went down 2% yesterday AND the day before, AND another 3% today. Frankly, I don't care very much without even looking how long term bonds and gold did (both up? cool).
Budd is doing well, thanks for asking!rickb wrote: I assumed it was Budd's thousands of posts about losing his shi[r]*t in the current stock market decline.

I am, of course, kidding. But, actually seriously, I'm curious how Budd is taking this. And I'd like a report from Mathjak as well (if you had kept the PP you'd started, where would you be now compared to where you actually are now). Perhaps in a different thread.

You mean you expected them to soar in proportion to the stock plunge? If so, it doesn't work that way, unfortunately.buddtholomew wrote: What's with LTT's on Friday?
Still ongoing. I really wish you would change ISPs. Enough is enough!!!MediumTex wrote: We're trying to get them ironed out.
