How you doing today, Slow99?

I see you're still with us. You need an e-hug buddy?

1 armed paper hanger, one legged man at a butt kicking contest comes to mind. Brokers are likely having some people screaming at them and others throwing money at them.

I saw in another thread where he said they had limited their exposure to this prior to the market tanking. I would think he is alright, considering they are educated and employed based on their ability to see indicators that this kind of shit is about to happen.

If I'm wrong, I apologize. Hope all is well Jody.

He can't answer right now. In anticipation of his short term Miller Lite consumption increase he's busy moving all of his portfolio into SABMiller.

Have you seen it today since Slow99 woke up and saw the news? You can almost see the moment where he second guessed himself and thought it would be ok... then when he came to his senses.

Lmao @ the SABMiller chart.

As bcoop alluded to, we did trim our exposures meaningfully starting 2 months ago. However, the way our strategy runs, this is the absolute worst timing for this possible - option expiration Friday and following Monday. Our 2 funds were off about 2.5% each today. My only concern is that one managed acct with $50MM in it has another 4% left before they stop us out and pull their money. That still leaves us with $110MM that isn't going anywhere.

I bet he found a way to make a little change out of all this.

Sorry man, I was in the green in my PA for much of the day but turned in the last hour or so. Ended the day down a few thousand for that acct. I'm about to go check all my other balances - I'm 100% allocated to equity everywhere else so I'm sure that will be very ugly.

If it makes anyone feel better, I'm minus about $70K in the last three days. I just laugh and say big deal, they are just numbers on a screen until I want to buy something tangible.

Fidelity still hasn't repriced 2 of my 401k accounts - they're showing the same balance as last night. Odd, they're usually updated by 9pm. When they reprice, I'll be down about $50k since Wednesday's close.

***EDIT they repriced at 10pm and it was as ugly as I expected.

[quikag]

Oh yeah? I'm down $100g, so take that! I've lost more so that makes me richer than y'all!




Wait........what? Huh?



J/k. (about the 100g too)
