PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

It's bounced about halfway back, though.

A correction was inevitable after the big run-up. This may be it, or there may be another one in the near future.

3. "Spellling mistake?" |
Stock Selloff May Have Been Triggered by a Trader ErrorIn one of the most dizzying half-hours in stock market history, the Dow plunged nearly 1,000 points before paring those losses in what possibly could have been a trader error. According to multiple sources, a trader entered a "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble, a component in the Dow. (CNBC's Jim Cramer noted suspicious price movement in P&G stock on air during the height of the market selloff. ) Sources tell CNBC the firm in question that handled the erroneous trade is Citigroup. The bank said it has no evidence of a bad trade but is investigating the situation

I ain't going long on jack squat after a wacko day like that. I'll keep what I've already got, but after a wacked out day like that and with the monthly employment numbers coming out tomorrow, it'd be lunacy to go long tomorrow in any new stocks.

12. "RE: Whoa" |
I go long, baby.I repeatedly try to tell my husband that. He freaks out with every dip in the market. When he first opened a deferred compensation plan with his county government job, the market took a huge dive right after he made a 15K investment. He freaked out and wanted to pull all the money. I told him we already took the loss and that we should wait, that it would rebound. And it did. There's more money in the plan than what he's invested since he started making contributions. Last year, when the market was around 6,000 I put more money into my SEP IRA. This year, when I got the statement, I showed my husband how much money it made for me. He's gotten better about not freaking out with every little fluctuation.

10. "RE: Whoa" |
Which brings up at least one major question beyond the 'I didn't know it was bulls, bears, and sheep' factor: how many shares does P&G have out there? Does any company have a billion shares of stock outstanding? Because as a first-glance number, that seems a little high -- and unless there's some sort of precedent set, you'd think any skilled trader would recognize an error.
