Is anyone else buying stock right now? :stupid

I consistently buy $50 a week into my company (SuperValu).  I've lost 40% of the value during the last 3 months, but I refuse to sell it until I get my money back and then some. :D

I just doubled my weekly deduction to $100 to take advantage of the extremely low prices. :D

I only own a few stocks.......they are doing quite well actually and I can't afford to buy any more at the price they are currently trading.

Go figure. All the other stocks take a dive. Mine stays put and/or goes up and I can't do anything with it anyway.  :beat

But I did take advantage of the two day special Bof A had last month and got in on some CD's at 5%. Can't get near that now on the short term stuff.

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

Hope your in for the long term. You might be on to something here though. Warren Buffett just bought $500,000,000 worth and he expects it to go up 10 fold in the next couple of years.
BTW it's dropped another 8% today.

As of this hour, mine has dropped another 9.42% since yesterday. :eek I don't need the $$$ anytime soon though. :good At some point it should stabalize and it should gain in the long term.  After that happens, I would have kicked myself for not putting extra in now. :)

If it indeed goes up 10 fold, you'll be smiling and styling.
BTW, GM's at less than $5 right now. They sure spent that $17B from last month fast.

I'd love to... but I'm busy paying of CC's right now.  :rolleyes

I own a few shares of different companies, but nothing substantial, all of them way down right now.  

I'm thinking the next "bubble" will be in alternative energy, I'd like to start buying up stock in a few companies in that sector, maybe next spring.

Closed only 3% down. Considering todays roller coaster ride, and a big sell off this morning, your looking good.

Pay attention guys, it went ahead a crashed without you. You might think last week was a rollercoaster ride. Watch next week. A lot of company's will be getting off before the rides over. Ouch.

Saw a little blurp on the Tube about how if you had invested 5K in the market the last 6 times it dropped over 20% that you would have almost 150K not a bad return on 30K.    :beer
