    dow jones

    so who's been watching their investments? I know I'm not the only person who has lost 10-15% of my investments in the past month


    I hear there's a lot of banks about to file for bankruptcy now too?

      All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

      1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
      2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
      3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
      4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

      Am I close here?

        I'm still banking on that...we're back around the 10% mark with which a "correction" is supposed to entail...hey that run up wasn't going to last forever anyway.

        I'd give it right now another 5-7% range overall, barring a bunch of other mortgage lenders to go out of business (since the whole credit mess is what's fueling this decline) before things stabilize nicely then move around appropriately...put it this way, the housing mess isn't at the bottom yet.

        Yes it hurts right now (as I have my 401K running too), but this run up was somewhat artificially inflated...so unless you run short-term and make bank, you're "losing" those top-end profits at the moment...but in the ultimate long-term it'll work out just fine.

          Re: dow jones

          There's a BUNCH of mortgage banks/lenders that are now in Chapter 11, gone, or are going...



          probably the next big one will be Countrywide if things don't go good fairly soon...they just exercised an entire $11B line of credit today to keep going...if that tanks, say goodnight, Chapter 11, Enron, whatever you want to call it...

                Stock markets historically show a higher return.. Plus property needs more capital to start with...

                  Awesomeoneknows. I don't have a dime in the market, quite a bit in real estate tho.

                  =AndyH] Stock markets historically show a higher return..
                  you must be talking about some kind of superman stock market on mars, but i've been blowing the earth based stock market out of the water for years with real estate.

                    rate of the return is different. You can gain more in stocks over a short term. If you looking in real estate for a VALUED investment def way to go. Land will always go up. Even in the swamps.

                      1. you can gain more in RE than stock market
                      2. countrywide will not tank. if anything they will get eaten up by Countrywide FSB
                      3. The Fed just dropped the discount rate, next the funds rate.
                      4. Like everyone else said, it was destined to happen. Everyone is waiting to see what these mortgage backed securities are worth before investors buy more. Sort of like the NFL draft. The draftees are waiting to see what the ones before them sign for to see what their worth is. Nobody wants to sign first and not get the most value.
                      5. Need a house? Still can get one....2, 3, etc
