Hard to beat that risk/reward.<BR/><BR/>If you want to stick a toe in long, I would place a stop market buy at Dow 8,100 with a sell target at 9,600.<BR/><BR/>As the market drops short term, you can move your buy stop lower to stay about 250 above the fall until you catch a fill.fdralloveragainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488923148019117760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-79091353329344099682009-03-24T14:30:00.000-04:002009-03-24T14:30:00.000-04:00FDR,Waiting for the "ALL-IN" call.I sense everyone...FDR,<BR/><BR/>Waiting for the "ALL-IN" call.<BR/><BR/>I sense everyone is sobering up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-56141868502102958032009-03-24T12:25:00.000-04:002009-03-24T12:25:00.000-04:00FDR, for long term, what would be your portfolio i...FDR, for long term, what would be your portfolio in this market.

In other words, even if most people are not affected, most shares and properties are affected. <BR/><BR/>So if you aren't above $200K/$250K I wouldn't get too excited, as forced selling will torpedo gains for everybody. Plus those sellers who care to extrapolate rising tax burdens that far down the road. And there are a lot of very smart low income earners who will opt to exit at a guaranteed 15% plus withdraw penalties vs paying no tax later on no gains.<BR/><BR/>And isn't that the problem with all of this mega deflationary spending? It always tanks national wealth by more than it could ever add, even if huge debt was actually good. The Dow's current P/E of 100 or so (now censored from financial sites), means any anti-market tax policy that applies huge leverage to losses while only proposing a 1:1 revenue gain, which then goes unrealized.<BR/><BR/>Just look at TARP I. It acutely destroyed stock prices from Dow 11,000, which most thought was agonizingly low already, starting the minute of the passing vote. It cost America $trillions more than it borrowed in lower collateral prices alone.fdralloveragainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488923148019117760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-31121761350562936842009-03-24T08:56:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:56:00.000-04:00With regards to the IRA/401K, do you mean paying a...With regards to the IRA/401K, do you mean paying a 39.6% tax after you withdraw, even if your total income in retirement is less than 200K per year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-31830966380908938362009-03-24T08:52:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:52:00.000-04:00This is a good way to discourage private sector ex...This is a good way to discourage private sector executive raping of american corporations and tax payers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
