Ouch.

I bought some stuff not too long ago...I'm not going to look at the unrealized gain/loss column for a few months at least on those.

I am invested for the long term, but if companies start slashing dividends I may puke in my mouth a little.
Why would companies start slashing dividends? Cash is piling up on balance sheets at unprecedented amounts.

I should have added "If we go into another recession" - which is a large part of why the sell off is occurring, people are fearing another recession.

Hopefully, this all just a temporary blip in all the economic data...some are saying it may be related to the Japan stuff as companies put on the brakes a bit and we didn't see some of the impact until now. Not sure if I buy any of that though...they've been using it for a while.

On a seperate note, for you financial guys, what will this do to interest rates?

Down. Less demand for capital.

Down?? I'm not sure how they can get much lower. Capital markets are already near record lows. Lots of cash out there since no one is looking to take long positions in stocks.

I would expect both capital and consumer markets to stay flat for the next million quarters.

I dont blame him, considering what he has talked about in terms of his income.

You know the view of Manhattan is pretty good from up here.

Seriously though, if you guys knew how much money I lost (on paper) today...

True, problem with that though is that I won't be able to afford to stay at the beach.

This keeps up, it's back to work for me. "would you like fries with that?"

Stock market was constipated for a few weeks and just took a massive dump on everyone's portfolio. I wouldn't have predicted a 500 drop...200-300 would have been bad enough!

That actually makes sense, since so much of the market performance is about confidence.

Is *that* what it's all about? I thought it's was about those great parties in the East Hamptons

Post by **columbia** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 5:58 pm

I'm fully confident that I'll never be invited to one of those.

Jobs report is tomorrow, isn't it? Uh oh. Another day like today and Bennie will have the presses cranked up so high it'll sound like a land invasion. Fire up the helicopters, Ben.

For your mention of his remarks, not for actually doing it.

It's coming (massive inflation), it's just a matter of when.
