Something something Bear Stearns is fine…something something
Scraping together some cash to hopefully make the most of this opportunity.
Because too many people are trying to log in?
Or are they intentionally locking people out?
Presumably the former. There’s talk of suspending trading temporarily if certain percentage drops are reached though.
80-90% typically.
yep, transferred some cash today in case this gets interesting. People gotta get a grip - we’re only pulled back to where we were around May / June.
Hopefully prices will come back down to earth here in the US now. It’s hard to understand how the average consumer is making ends meet here without loading up – like their government – on debt.
Yeah but what about the people who bought then, those who use leverage , plus plenty of individual tocks and crypto got hammered .
And then there was the largest single day drop ever in the stock market in Japan. That’s hard to get a grip on if you were invested there.
Account is back online. Only around 2% loss so far today. 
Wait until they let the others log in.
Sheeeiiiit. I didn’t even sell anything. Still up 17% YTD.
Ouch.
Crypto has come back a little.
Those people really, really should hopefully understand the risks of what they’re doing.
Worst ever in absolute terms, as the overall index is higher, but not worst percentage drop ever, if than makes anyone feel a wee bit better. Gave up a year’s gain, which obviously sucks, but the Nikkei has been a dog for so long, is that even a surprise?
Up16% in after hours. 
I have about 80% of my net worth in equities, mostly US stocks. I stick to the indexes, and rarely dabble in trendy stocks or Mickey Mouse countries. The ratio has remained fairly constant for the last 50 years.
Please do enjoy your retirement in Taiwan.
Yesterday was out drinking with a friend, after many beers, he was almost crying as his portfolio had gone down so much.
He had got sucked in by those financial advisors who “promised” extreme high gains and down played risks…
He lacked diversification of his portfolio and a trust in himself to make decisions instead of blindly follow the financial advisor…
