I truly hope that no one is making decisions about their collecting based on the results of 2 ugly days on the market. Please.

Bill,

Ebay has been awesome for 2 days, honestly I am holding hope the panic stays on for another 24 hours so I can pick up another off my want list tomorrow night at another bargain.

The market is always cyclical, it will rebound.

I remember Black Monday 87'. Everyone in a sheer panic and my best friend's father pulls a 75k HELOC on his home and puts it all in blue chips.

In the early nineties his portfolio hit 6 mil. Make that on safe hedges in a handful of years.

The smart ones make a mint on the lemmings.

Hold what you got and buy what you couldn't afford before.

I am not afraid to apologize and admit I'm full of it. Having fun watching the market or as I call it, encapsulated insanity.

Best time to buy is when baseball is in the off-season.
