brave call benched... Dow just dropped 150 points in 5 minutes again.... that's normally a whole days move.... you got enough margin to handle the volatility?

Dow futures traded a range of 1,500 points today... the plung prevention team really had their work cut out at one point....

Great day for shopping today, bought parcels of/or topped up on Pick n Pay (2 lots), Clover, Santova, AdaptIT, hoping to pick up some more Adapt IT tomorrow morning in the auction

Isn't it amazing how many fund managers and investment advisors all saw this coming and could almost predict to the percentage the drop we have experienced last and this week - methinks they would be better predicting by looking into a cup with tea leaves in rather than using their cloudy crystal balls.
Oh well all the "Sell in May and go away" lemmings will all be back next month buying up shares as markets generally improve between now and Christmas and if your not in - your out ;D

Or perhaps you can wait a while longer and get a premium discount of 50%.
Looking back at 2008, I have this nostalgic taste of  Dèjà Vu.
Brokers and analysts were urging investors to climb in at -10% at the "discount" and the markets continued to fall to -45%.
Had the investors complied, I'm sure the markets would not have dropped that low but the fear factor prevailed. 
I hope you are correct though.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

"Anybody with a pulse was nervous yesterday".... which is why humans don't trade anymore. Computers do and the bots did a sterling job of keeping liquidity going yesterday... yesterday could have been a repeat of 1987 but it was saved by the bots...

Thanks all :) Anyway, my money reached my account this morning, so like a good robot investor, I closed my eyes and hit buy!
