Stock market collapse in October

[ASB]

Actually Buffett has a controlling interest and runs many of the companies he invests in. He says investing in and owning companies is merely a matter of degree - and he only does it for the long term.
AtW would approve.
As to when you cash in - well whenever is convenient for you - retirment perhaps. I suspect Buffett does it for fun.
Interestingly there has never been a billionaire day trader in the history of the stock market - wonder why that is?

I **think** there is a quote ascribed to WB. Along the lines of its not the money it's the game.

And the data from the US is - very very good.

Markets are all up - Sterling is up.

Tough luck chaps - you got it wrong again.

Predictable really.

If only you had a decent Tardis ....

Exactly. Every drop is your chance to buy low and sell high.

They will never learn.....

'Waterloo of the Bears’

“The fourth quarter will be the Waterloo of the bears,” said E. William Stone, who oversees $102 billion as chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia. “We are in economic recovery both in the U.S. and globally, so you will eventually see revenue growth because you are seeing the recovery hold.”

Hmm time to close out those put options I think.

Guys, how difficult is it?? American indices this oil stain that....what are you all like??

Investing is easy. 2 days before Apple announce their quarterlies buy some stock, 2 hours after the figures are announced sell it.

Microsoft. Its been so obvious for the last 6 months that W7 will be a money spinner for Gates the Geek. At least 3 upgrades to out perform last week should have told you all you are already too late.

Even the most quoted three letters on this BB (http://www.google.co.uk/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:ATW)has moved over 5% just today. Did you see it?? Yes??

Easy to make 30 grand a year from the obvious, why make things difficult??

Only a couple more days and lets see if the prediction was right.

Take a look at the FTSE 4hr chart and see how price came up yesterday to test old support that is now resistance. The resistance line just so happens to be under that nice range of triple tops.

It gave a nice 40 pips short this morning, which I caught. A very nice birthday present for me

Now lets see how "random" things are today, shall we?

So who's going to start the November thread?

You mutter your incantations like a witch doctor.
It gives you the illusion of control.
