"This is the time to buy stocks. This is the time to recall the words of the late J. P. Morgan... that any man who is bearish on America will go broke. Within a few days there is likely to be a bear panic rather than a bull panic. Many of the low prices as a result of this hysterical selling are not likely to be reached again in many years."

- R. W. McNeel, market analyst, as quoted in the New York Herald Tribune, October 30, 1929, when the DJIA was about 240 (+,-)

In 1932 the DJIA bottomed @ about 25 (+,_)

My my.

An interesting week to say the least.

Made a little money in the markets.

Made a little last week as well.

Don't think it's time for "buy and hold" yet.
