Thread: Stocks going crazy, stick to your plan of reinvestment?

    Stocks going crazy, stick to your plan of reinvestment?

    Let's look at it, stock market beleivers.

    DJI had a 2.5 % annual return. (Dividends reinvested).

    Gold, ~300 to ~1100 now.

    What is that in 15 years?

    Oh frick.

    A 50% loss requires a 100% correction. What a scam.

    I'm sticking with my regular plan:

    continue to panic.

    Those who considered (or even actually did) dropping their stocks when the correction hit- did you have the same reaction when other assets like gold and silver peaked and fell? Did you sell or consider selling them? "Get out while you can!" somebody said.

    (GOLD FALLS $30 IN TWO DAYS!)

    I am standing pat. No reason to panic but to wait it out. Or buy more on the dip (may have missed the bottom).

    I also note that the "end is near!" posts quickly disappeared after yesterday's 600 point jump in the DOW.

    Just stuff it and stop baiting. Anybody paying attention knows the last week has been the warm-up phase where stops are taken out, urging the little guy to buy back in on the ramp up.....before it really crashes next month. Stop baiting. Paul....checks clearing....Leg....uh huh, stop baiting.

    As for me, I am sticking to my plan. I was not bothered in the least by the recent stock market wildness.

    I am not exactly a "stock market believer" either, though.

    You have been promising a crash since the last one in 2007. "It is coming soon- just you wait!"

    Well how long have we had artificially low interest rates now? Is that just going to go on forever? Either way it's going to tank. Just the hint of a possible .25 raise sent the market into a panic. Obviously there's a huge bubble and the Fed can't keep ignoring reality.

    It's all planned. TPTB have been running the same scam over and over. The 'money' in the stock market doesn't just disappear. It goes into TPTB's pockets, rewarding themselves for another 7 years of job-well-done, while Joe 6pack naively thinks he has a chance.

    eta: of course, if you ask one of TPTB about it, they'll remind you that it was never Joe's money in the first place, so TPTB taking it back isn't technically 'stealing'. One can't steal their own property. And TPTB would be correct. The 'money' is owned by the private Fed (the Fed's owners, actually) and Joe 6pack is allowed to use it, in exchange for a 'user fee'. Joe is playing a game of which he has no clue what the rules are.

    It is possible to invest in both. Dollar cost averaging, re-invested dividends, it works.
