lol- I picked the wrong sector to go overweight in. Going to take some time to recoup the investment
BP volume up- must be something in the works:
BP p.l.c. (BP) -NYSE ?
31.37 Up 0.67(2.18%)
Volume:
15,819,497
Avg Vol (3m):
6,684,930
Market is a little to funky for me to buy right now
wow- Might need to relook this one-
Joy Global, Inc. (JOY) -NYSE ?
18.35 Down 3.78(17.08%)
Based on the new guidance, now around a $22 stock, so still some value with this plunge
Yes- I'm way underwater on it also
I'm getting happy-Kohl's Corp. (KSS) -NYSE ?
52.47 Up 1.58(3.10%) 11:11AM
Looks like a $30 stock, imo- if Ag sector picks up.
If we are in a correction/recession, then it might be a good pick up
Unfortunately, I spent my wad the day before the "correction" began
imo, Trump is an ass. Look at his financial record- it is a mess. He would ruin the county
Any other thoughts on Carson from the group?

I sold AEO today at $20.04 from the buys in 2007 and 2009- Decided that the 2.2% divy yield isn't worth the tormoil the stock is doing. 8% gain on the trade
LOL- news trumps gaps anyways.
Got this email just now:
Staying Calm When Stocks Swing
September started with more worries about China's slowing economic growth, continuing the stock market volatility that started in mid-August. Bigger daily moves may have been a surprise after such a long time without them. But aggressive sell-offs are often followed by strong bounce backs, as happened the last week of August - a good reminder that volatility means stocks move both down AND up.*
Stick to your long-term strategy, and stay calm and invested. What happens in China doesn't stay in China, but it also doesn't change your long-term financial goals.
Stocks have declined due to three main worries:
Slower economic growth in China - China's factory orders fell to their lowest level in three years in August, adding to the signs that China's economy is slowing. China is the world's second-largest economy, but the impact of its slower growth is mostly in emerging markets and commodity-producing countries. Only about 5% of U.S. exports go to China, so the impact on U.S. economic growth isn't likely to be large.
Low oil prices - Oil prices have also had big swings recently and are likely to remain volatile short term, due to slower growth in demand and uncertainty about the outlook for still-high production levels. The worries focus on oil producers, but low oil prices are positive for the much bigger group of consumers. That's why the drop of more than 50% from last year's highs is generally positive for economic growth worldwide.
Concerns that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may start to raise interest rates - Improving U.S. economic growth means the Fed plans to start raising short-term interest rates later this year.
These issues aren't likely to be resolved in the short term. But they're also not the whole picture. Unexpected worries about slower growth in China haven't changed our outlook for continued global economic growth or our expectation that rising earnings will support higher stock prices over time.
Steady Economic Growth Elsewhere
The U.S. economy has continued to grow, and the pace picked up to 3.7% in the second quarter. The long, slow expansion hasn't been exciting, but it has supported the rising stock prices, and we expect the economy will continue to grow between 2.5% and 3%. U.S. manufacturing continues to expand, and construction spending was up 0.7% in August.
Looking at the rest of the world, economic growth in other developed countries is also improving, but erratically and slowly. Unemployment rates continue to fall, and consumer spending is growing. That's why we don't think China's slowdown will reduce the rest of the world's growth by much.
Why You Own Quality and Stay Diversified
Quality equity investments decline along with others - but they historically have dropped less than the stock market overall. And bond prices tend to rise when stocks fall, just as they've done over the past few weeks.* That's why we recommend owning quality investments in a portfolio that has an appropriate mix of stocks and bonds, based on your comfort with risk and your long-term financial goals. An appropriate amount in bonds means your portfolio may fluctuate less than it would if you owned stocks alone. Understanding how your portfolio is constructed, and why you own the investments in it, can help you stay calm when stocks drop sharply.
And those stock market pullbacks give prepared investors the opportunity to add quality investments at lower prices. Looking for opportunities can help you put the declines in perspective, since many attractive investments without direct ties to China or oil have declined along with others that are connected more directly. Consider which might be appropriate for you.
* Past performance is not a guarantee of how the market will perform in the future.
Plus it has a big gap to fill from last month
If Hyma's Heros handles adversity during the season the way they did in this draft, it's going to be a long year. After receiving the 10th overall pick they were clearly rattled, which was made evident by their draft performance. As a result, they are projected to finish 10th in theWHINEcellar League with a record of 4-8-1 (1,851 points).

Bottled water on track to outsell soda by 2017 at CNBC
system tested- I'm ready
Market likes the news-
Teck Resources Limited (TCK) -NYSE ?
6.12 Up 0.60(10.78%) 10:55AM
Really- when did that happen?
I've set up my pre-draft, yeah
It feels like 2008 all over
VLY- Valley National upgraded by Guggenheim at Briefing.com Tue 8:33am
And the hits keep coming- BHP posts 86 percent profit drop as commodity prices tumble
At least the divvy is still there- The company declared a final dividend of 62 cents per share.
Of the 20 stocks I'm holding, only 5 did not touch the 52-week low today. Painful.
What? That is not acceptable- give him the six-million dollar man's knee, lol
My EJ portfolio is down 15% now- now I want the market to hang low for a while, so I can get some of these low priced shares
Don't know, but that was painful to see
thanks
Definitely in the oversold territory
Valley also announced that a common stock cash dividend of $0.11 per share will be paid October 1, 2015 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2015. The dividend amount per share was unchanged as compared to the previous quarterly common cash dividend. The common cash dividend should not be used as an indicator of future dividends to Valley's common stockholders.
