A blood bath? That's a little overkill. The s&p 500 was up double digits on Friday and is only down 6 points today. lol. It all depends on which plan you're on and if you freak out much. Just take it easy and don't over react to one day!

I wouldn't call it a bloodbath... But, if you don't have a plan it could make you question if you should stay and ride it out, or move to "G" and be happy with 4+% gains.
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

You're buying the dip as part of 24147 which is a matter of luck not wisdom.

A bloodbath, one day, does not make!

Good point! I just left my family, sold all of my lego sets, removed my clothes and ran into the Appalachian mountains .... this post will be the last you ever hear of me. At least until I run out of twinkies which I'm hiding.

Shelf Life is typically 25 days, after which they tend to harden. At some point they are hard enough that jlozano042 can probably use as a weapon if he brings along a sling shot :mrgreen:

Actually, I made to about the end of my street and had to turn around as it was too freaking cold. And I ate the last twinkie as I was running .... which was cool as I didn't have to share with my family. Thankfully, they took me back too. :lol:

On a serious note, every once in awhile we will see Twinkies at our local Food Lion. We typically stay away from that stuff but once in a blue moon we will let the kids try a little bit of heaven's nectar.

That's a good point, can you imagine what one of those things is doing to your body while being consumed in your stomach? :?
