wow, i woke up this morning and the DOW was under 8000, i thought it was all over...after i threw up a few times, the market turned around, its now up a little over 8000. Anyone else scared for what we might be in for?

Nope. Looking forward to a huge drop.<a href="http://www.adultcontent.co.uk">Adult Content UK - Great British Content</a> -
if it drops under 8k i would pump some money in. don't have 100% of your money in stocks or anything close to it, but its smart to buy value when the markets down. eventually it'll go back up again.
when it makes its turn, thats where the gains are and if you buy before then, you already missed it.Comment

If the economy keeps on tanking and people's confidence in the accuracy of corporate audits remain low, Dow at 5000 is very possible. Check my post re P/E ratios.
I'm of the opinion that we're overdue for a long and sustained bear market. Look on the bright side, though, there are still ways to make money even in a down market. There will always be people that will make money--crisis or not. The real problem is the general economy and how it will impact most Americans--most of us really haven't gone through a crushing and long lasting economic downturn. The last long period began in 1973 and ended in 1981.
But as other posters pointed out, there may be a war soon with Iraq, etc. This may have an upside re the economy. Hmmmm, the first war with Iraq concluded with a recession [early 1990s]."If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself.

heh, i hope it drops. drops way further. we're looking at a correction rather than a crash. perhaps all of the late 90's phony gains can be erased completely. that'd be delicious.
the only thing i'm concerned about is mortgage forclosure rates. luckily, that's not tied to the stock market directly.

Question: what would a "crash" do to the real estate market? For example, if I wanted to buy a house or some property, would it be a better deal before or after a stock crash?PHAT SERVERS - Quality dedicated hosting at a quality price!

youd be better off buying after the market crashed...many people will lose money and want cash, so you will be able to get better deals in property cause people will sell out, and move to a smaller house, hoping to pocket the difference in cash.Originally posted by Sly_RJ

Actually, you're already seeing the effects of the stock collapse in the rise of the real estate market. It is viewed as a safe haven for cash fleeing the stock market. However, this is a bubble as well--specially in California. My guess is that in 3-5 years if not sooner there will be a real estate crash if the fed raises interest rates and cripples first time buyers. This will trigger a chain reaction upwards. Seen it before -- 1991 to 1994 in california, beverly hills homes went down to as low as 50%.Originally posted by Sly_RJ

In my language, please? Bottom line, I'm sick of putting $1,200 on rent every month when I could be putting that same money into a mortgage instead, and be building an equity all along. So I want to get a house, condo, or whatever else that would be better then renting. Should I wait to see what happens, or try finding a place whenever is most convenient?Originally posted by Frank W

the economy isn't tanking. we're starting to see revenue thats beating expectations which is a good sign. but, investors are paranoid about the scandals which will keep stocks down. stocks have room to fall because p/e ratio isn't all that low, which surprised me when i seen it.
no one can predict the bottom, so if you keep a long term outlook on your portfolio you can get into stocks now and be ready when the markets go up.Comment
