MCQ has been the only spec purchase i've made this year!

It's ridiculous that it fell $7 yesterday just because it has IB operations, and everyone was spooked by whats happening in the US.

Shows how Warren Buffet and those guys made all their money.

 

[stazi]

45% now. fuck you all. hate ewes

 

[HalcyonSky]

anyone who bought macq shares yesterday is a genius
or a filthy short-trader.

Regained all our losses, hard to say whether or not to sell today or later next week after theres more info on the US governments half a trillion dollar debt plan.. market is crazy atm, im refreshing the pages of the shares i have and theyre going up by like 0.3% every few minutes. jesus christ.

US Government to make hundreds of billions of dollars bailout:

http://news.smh.com.au/world/global-stocks-soar-on-us-rescue-plan-20080920-4kdz.html

Global stock markets have cheered US government moves to soothe financial turmoil and a pledge to tackle toxic debt in the US banking system at the root of the crisis.

..

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Friday the massive financial rescue plan would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

"We're talking hundreds of billions. This needs to be big enough to make a real difference and get at the heart of the problem," he said.

Won't this just delay the inevitable and make it worse when it does happen? Not to mention the inflation effects on the US economy.

 

[electrolysis]

wow what a day on the market, heh?
if days like these keep coming along, i'll be a millionaire in no time =]

Bailout plan fails, Wall St suffers its biggest points loss ever (~750) and NASDAQ down over 9%. Oh yeah baby. This is fun.

Aussie market is also down in the dumps :s Oh well - could be a good time to buy. My shares fell further, though. so gay

 

[stazi]

oh ffs. it's just getting ridiculous. DOW futures point to another drop.

 

[chicky_pie]

We're sinking

 

[stazi]

look at the aussie dollar :s below 65 US cents. down sharply on every currency. even the rouble.

at least other country's currencies are doing ok, whilst their stock market dies.

Hopefully will improve by the end of the month, when US company's report for the year.

The way things are though, don't hold your breath.

Can someone explain to me why the value of our dollar is falling so drastically compared to other countries.

Your super's crumbling? Are you serious?

Dude, you are all of probably 18 years old. Your super balance have absolutely no relevance to you now, other than the fact you should be making contributions!

EDIT: How long are you planning on heading to Japan for? And were you going by yourself?
