If you were forced to evacuate your area for whatever reason, how much is enough? I don't know about you, but if I took all of my ammo, I couldn't fit anything else in..no food, no water, no first aid, no pet food, etc.

That's if you stay put, but what if you can't? How much could you and should you, load up and take with you? Even if you're staying put, there's a point at which you won't be able to consume the ammo you have, and you would have been better off with additional cash, or some other supplies.

I have a friend that writes for Elliot Wave International and we talk a lot. Otherwise I stick to charting on my own and place trades on E-Trade.

When she rides the train, she rides for free.

I stick her on MARTA, she can ride a train like nobody's business.

I don't believe in universal morality, and I don't believe you can force people to take into account the good of the people of earth when it comes to investing. I think you've ventured out beyond the financial to the philosophical...to a point where we probably agree.

If that were the case we'd never have ever seen a rally. How many investors are out there trading stocks for the good of humanity? lol I'm using every tool at my disposal. At certain times, inverse etf's are the heavy hitters. Long term they aren't. That's why you need a lot of weapons in...

I couldn't possibly care less about the socialist principle of the "greater good" when it comes to my private investing strategy.

The market will indicate that.

Right at the red circle the 50 and 200 day moving averages crossed, this is known as the cross of death. This is what prompted my purchase of the inverse etfs. I wasn't 100% certain the dow would take a nosedive, but it was sure telling me the time was ripe for it. Previous to the cross...

No, yes, kind of, not really? It's no different than buying stock and banking that it will increase in value. With inverse etf's your buying a stock betting that it will increase in value because you feel that the stock market is in a sell off. It's not that it's fixed, but it does behave like...

THe stick market allows you to bet on anything. You can even bet on how nervous investors are feeling with the VIX (volatility index). You can buy shares of well known companies, collections of shares, or exchange traded funds to name a few. When all indicators pointed to a big sell off (the...

I put a small amount of money into a single etf. FAZ is the ticker symbol. I wish I had put more in, but's that's hindsight. She's been on fire. I use these markets for home run swings, not long term retirement investing. This is where I want to go for broke and try to make some decent cash...

There are etf's that gain value as the stock market (Dow, whatever) falls. The FAZ etf goes up three times the amount the DOW drops..badass right?! From WIki An inverse exchange-traded fund is an exchange-traded fund (ETF), traded on a public stock market, which is designed to perform as the...

Dip your toes in a little. Go to youtube and watch a few videos on stock market indicators. MACD, stochastics, whatever and familiarize yourself with the basics of stocks and etf's. Then go to Etrade and open an account. Put a little cash in to play around with a bit. Since we're...

I just invested a small sum of money last Thursday, and I'm up over 31% on that investment after today's move. All it takes is a very small amount of time, some luck, and a little initiative and you can hedge against big dips in the market. When big swings happen, you can make money all the...

Wrong, you haven't lost a nickle..not one, your 401k is the same as it ever was if you aren't cashing it out. Right now your portfolio is best measured in shares, not dollars. Dollars don't matter until you start drawing from it. Don't get caught up in the "i just lost $xxxx in my 401k...

I hope you're really, really near retirement. If not, you just fucked yourself. If you retire in 5, 10, 15 years, what happened today or a year from now doesn't really matter, except that you will be purchasing tons of stocks at a discounted rate before it's time to retire. You haven't "lost"...

Then why would you even consider selling now?

If it tanks and you don't sell it, you've lost nothing. The markets aren't going to evaporate. There isn't a stock or etf you can buy that is "domestic". Don't worry about the international flavor of the etf. ***Not marketing advice***
