Black Monday

I don’t look until I get a CNBC notification that tells me that the DOWN and S&P500 have risen...pointless following when it is depressed....safe only because the capital is not needed for at least 3 to 5 years and dividends are still being paid.....this market is beyond predictable and is certainly not to be trusted.

Or those invested in Gold/Silver Equities

Yeap the silver in my portfolio has been a star performer lately after so many years of being a dog. Trouble is its been so doggy over so many years I've never added to it and its now under 1% of my portfolio so even a decent move won't move the portfolio needle. We really need to see Silver up back up at over $40 an ounce to break out of this multi year malaise.

Yes too bad you weren't adding when tapping on their lows .. personal I still don't hold any pure Silver plays as I still think GOLD companies are a safer bet ... but I do hold a few companies than have silver as part of their portfolio of resources in projects

Was hoping the market ŵould keep tanking for bit. All markets need a damn good shakeout and the quicker it happens the better. Get it over with.

If only. More likely in the current climate, a long period of fluctuating euphoria and gloom depending on the tweeting mood of You Know Who.

Notorious market manipulators UBS urge clients to sell stocks, I'd trust a bull in a China shop a lot more than this lot.

We all know the drill - they have already sold down and are now trying to spook the markets into selling back to them cheaper.

Reminds me of what Merill Lynch did years ago with Vietnam - they bought heavily into that country in the mid 2000s, pushed the market there up and then, issued a worldwide recommendation to invest in Vietnam. When everybody else bought in, they sold and it crippled the Vietnamese stockmarket for over 5 years!
