Henry Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Maybe it's just a hiccup, but it's sure nice to see. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55526-2002Jul24.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 some individual stock issues are bargains at their current prices, at least in historical context of earnings, while others have a ways to go down. these violent swings will continue until earnings overall improve, the spate of scandals dies down and the situation in the Middle East stabilizes, to whatever degree it can.

fansince62 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 the worst thing is you may still owe taxes if you sell were you to hold stocks that split several times during the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 all we need is another 10 days of 6% gains and I'll be happy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 well, if you bought Dell back in 1996 for $14 and rode it since then and sold now, you would have a tax liability but after all the splits that $14 share would be worth what $84? not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I'm still waiting for Dubya to take credit for the rise after his speech summoning investors to "make America strong". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskinsfan Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Dudes, get a Dell, because I see something on the horizon, by way of catalog sales for them. They just seem to do it right for mom and pop budgets. I like some DRIPS, but the word on Bonds and REITS will do nicely just the same. DRIPS volatility lies in the strength of those books (oh those books, let's hope their not cooked ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I wanted a spring in the market to wait for later in the week. We recently got paid and so a purchase was just done in my 401-K, I wanted those bargain prices. Heck, I got a while until I get to retire anyway.

NavyDave Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Dubba ya should take credit considering all I see from the dems is doom and gloom and the hope that the market stays down so they can try to blame it on dubba ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMP Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Historically speaking, huge one day gains in the stock market such as Wednesday's close to 500 point gain are followed the next day with losses. So don't expect this rally to continue at such staggeringly high numbers. The best we can hope for is for the markets to have modest gains over the coming weeks.
