Jesus I might be better off being stuck here :shock:

When the number leaks ahead of the official report the market will definitely hit the second circuit breaker.

Just checked my IRA. I'm already down 28% for the year. May as well leave it in and let it ride! C'mon lucky 7! Daddy needs a retirement!

My 401k is down the same. I'm so glad that a few people on here told me to bump up my contributions. First bump should kick in tomorrow. Once this bottoms and starts to go up (in a year?) it's gonna be okay.

5 years from now we are all going to be sitting pretty. As long as you dont panic you will be fine.

Honestly I am thinking since my spending is going to drop significantly I might just add another mutual fund to my portfolio...

I'm gonna take half my Trump Check and send money to my car loan. But I'm gonna blow the other half on wants, not needs. So, semi-responsible.

But for real, stay pat, don't over-react...you're good.

That check may not be as big as you think...

I'm not counting on it. I don't need it. Whatever comes my way, I'll blow half of it, and use the other half to pay some stuff off. *shrug*

Or you could, you know, prepare for the incoming recession?

I'm on OT, and not just for the near future. We're shipping things to the companies and hospitals that need the supplies. I am sure you've seen memes about health workers and truckers and such...well, my place on the chain is GETTING those supplies to those people.

It would really mean a lot more to some posters if that statement came from Tucker Carlson though.

Jesus every tweet about the market opening is acting like it's meager gains are some big deal.

Having 3 up days in a row would be a big deal at this point

After what we just witnessed, any and all gains are a big deal to most investors regardless of size. Seriously. Sadly.

OK so explain this to me. The split between regular and supreme at my local gas station has always been about 20 cents. After the Putin-MBS Break Up, regular started to decline. But supreme didn't budge, so the split is now 70 cents.

What gives? Are the stations just assuming people who use supreme are morons?

So few people pump Premo (mostly owners of overpriced status cars), that I'll bet that station hasn't had to refill their reserves of it yet. So it's just lagging by a few weeks based on the price of their last resupply, and they don't want to take a loss on it.

Different processes. Different costs. GIve it a week or two.
