Might get back into 9000 range. I thought the market only went up on average. I am new to this "game," but everybody has been telling that the stock market is a free lunch.

If it gets well below 10,000, watch out belooooooooooooooooooooow!

Its raining fund managers!

Market is indeed volatile today. I wonder what the volume is going to be like...

The pollies are probably leveraging everything they own trying to incite a rally.

Buy into a downdraft? I think not!

-- Mara (MaraWayne@aol.com), October 15, 1999.

You're confusing "pollies" (those who have chosen to put on (and widely publicize) a happy faced prediction for y2k issues, with "downies" - those who have a political, financial, social, and immediate-business interest in putting on (and maintaining and publicizing a "happy face in the market:

The vast overwhelming groups (people) in the market now are either looking far, far past the immediate prices (very long-term investers who won't sell for many years from now - and are thus inflexible); and many others who are looking no further than the next quarter (and who ARE ignoring y2k effects in a "haven't heard of it" mentality, and another bunch who are looking no further than the last fifteen minute price of a few dominating numbers in the average.

Thus: the crowd(s) that want you/me/everybody else to listen to any of these have a vital stake in rebuying and manipulating information: "the stock market future is rosey forever under the Democrats,"/"keep your money in the market so my stock values remain high"/"buy my stocks in my company so my value goes up"/"buy his stocks through me so my commission goes up" ...

But are any of these downies "uninterested observers?"

GOLD isstill a veritable BARGAIN at today's prices.

Gold stocks are a well and good but will there be a bnking and market system in 10 weeks...

I've been saying for to years...NO

The BIS - "THE" major world central bank have moreor less said the same...

By all means play the game while youcanbut at some point you need to cash out and preserve your toiet pape gains... do you have a strategy???

It's a balancing act - but ifyou leave it too lat physical gold and silver may be impossible to get and priced way way higher than now...

Give it some thought... and good luck to all :)

Again - same funny pattern repeated today as all of last week: tremendous increase (or decrease) right at the bell (based on overnight/foreign speculators?) then kind of a holding pattern all day - see-sawing back and forth but not really moving much from the initial explosion.

Next day - another disconnect right at the bell, then see-sawing around the "new" running (ruining ?) average all day.

Any theories?

Hmmmmn. Dow lowering all week.

With the S&P 500 back below 1350 (3:00 pm today's value) - there has been essentially 0 growth in these 500 stock values since mid April of LAST year.

.... but we aren't facing a slowing market?
