6500 will be the breaking point, next point will 4000. Feb unemployment rates comes out tomorrow looks for close to 680k job loss and unemployment rate to be around 7.9 u-3 scale look for u-6 to be close to 14percent

We'll be lucky if we stay above 6,000 until the end of March.

GM is going to be asking for bailouts for a while.

09' is going to be a hell of a year for a lot of companies.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 03-05-2009, 07:22 PM

I think it would behoove GM to file chapter 11. They need to reorganize and restructure. Accepting more bailout money is just going to put off what needs to be done.

johnnymu · 03-05-2009, 10:00 PM

Looks like Future and Asia is sea of red again. With expected poor Job report and uncertainty of our financial sector, I expect Market to end the week on a down note, of course unless Obama comes out and blame China for everything.

johnnymu · 03-05-2009, 11:06 PM

here's a graph I found, it shows the Dow support level and as you can see from 6000 there's a huge drop to 4000, watch for a huge breakdown soon.

MJC///M3 · 03-06-2009, 12:32 AM

interesting graph....the deviation is larger to 4000 b/c the vertical axis appears to be a logarithmic scale correct? Relatively speaking....its still def a big support...we cross that........bye bye....

I personally think the S&P is a better indication of the market, granted it encompasses 500 companies.....its a value weighted index as opposed to price-weighted such as the DOW (one of the main criticisms of the DOW acting as a leading indicator)....take a look at some graphs on the S&P ....scary stuff if you look at support levels.

Now I'm not asking for any of your secretsto tips but I never bought stocks or anything before. I just want to know how does one buy stocks? do i need a stock broker or something or can i use a online site? I already have a list of companies that i want to invest in, and I read about the companies history so I feel like I did my homework well enough.

I'm just really interested in this. I'm going to take a investment class next semester so it should answer a lot of my questions but for the mean time i thought some of you guys can help me out. If you guys are using any websites which ones are you using because there a lot out there. thanks in advance

InsaneSkippy · 10-26-2009, 01:44 PM

1.) You can trade through an broker or trade online (or both)

2.) There's a LOT more to it than just company history. You need to know what kind of working capital the company has, what their debt is like, etc.

3.) The best thing you could do is create an account with fake money and gauge how well you do over the first few months. That way if the stocks go down you're not out anything.

2) oh believe me i did more then just the history i requested a lot of reports from companies so I'm waiting for them

3) theres a website that does this but forgot the name, do you happen to know it?
