Down 38% for the year For the fourth quarter, we see Wachovia and National City going away. The first two weeks of October should be painful. Then the market should do better. The bailout is tricky. It should happen, but the market might be expecting too much All predictions were right. My mistake was jumping in after the 20% drop. I decided to ride it out since it was a vertical drop and quit trading. I felt at the time, it was like 2000-2003 when over trading would make it much worse. It didn't matter. Stocks were toxic to the best traders. I never lost more than 15% in 20 years+ of trading. this year was a monster hit. 99% lost money. In hindsight, the best thing to do was to watch and not trade at all. Cheers to 2009. I see a better first quarter but worsening economy in 2009 the rest. I plan to pare off the losers in the next few months. The $3000 annual tax selling loss seems paltry at this point.
