OK, I'm depressed. I missed the biggest rally in recent history. Arghh!!!!! This +300 Dow recovery shocks me. I see the world falling yet this country bucks the trend bigtime. I'm no bear but +300 up is too exuburant in my opinion. Will we play around 7400 for a while? Or as you, Iqbal, suggest, we return to previous levels? Well I don't know. I want the markets to settle down at whichever level is most comfortable and quit the volatility. Gaston

IQ, Broker is Schwab and it would take me until 9PM to get them on the phone. Put in a order at market for JPNKO and was filled at 3:59 for $6.75 Didn't have enough time to wait. Paid the highest price of the day but we will see. Order execution today was horrible no matter who your broker is. Tried to get into Schwab through the net and at the same time I used the software and connected by telepnone. On the net I got to the screen to order the transaction at the time the bell rang. I had entered the order by software only 3 minutes before close and was executed 2 minutes after. Edit: I am fortunate to have two computers.

What a day!!-I got the snot knocked out of me yesterday and today I mopped up!-I would have made it all back but slow order executions at Schwab kept me from capitalising on the lows of the day. also I was taking a 7k profit on VRTS calls purchased this am. and I heard INTC announce the buy back but my broker could not confirm funds availability as I had several orders that had not been confirmed. the options went fron 3 dollars and change to 6 dollars in 10 minutes on the ones my broker could not let me buy. I am so shaken by this volatility that I closed many longs that I established today!-I did not know if we will retest the lows of this Am sometime soon and I could not get on SI as I was glued to my schwab software and I only have 1 computer.-I really need 2 computers or 2 screens! -I feel like I aged 5 years these past few days!
