IF you are NOT going to buy stocks, please donate atleast $100 to the red cross or other charities that are helping out. This past weekend, the local bar I liv^H^H^H visit had a donations bucket, and I managed to put in over $200 of my already stretched budget. They need the money more than I do right now...
Yeah, buy Intel stock!!!
Seriously though, I purchase stock on a regular basis. I'm not sure if tomorrow is one of the days or not.

how do you buy $100 worth of stocks? what kind of accounts do you guys have? the commission alone would be almost half that after buy/sell! and what about minimum purchase?
$100 worth of stock isn't very much, and it would end up being something like 4.52 shares of a company. Because it's not a multiple of 100 shares (round lot), the commission would be excessive.
The email going around urged people to buy 100 shares of their favorite company. So, for example, 100 shares of Microsoft @ $57.58/share would come out to $5,758. That's a lot of money for one individual, but absolutely miniscule in the big picture.
This whole stock-buying campaign is a nice idea, but it probably won't do much. The best way to keep the market from tanking is if people decide not to sell come Monday.
And, the Red Cross could use that $5,758 a lot more than the stock market.

Actually, the SEC is considering lifting the limit for companies to buy back their own shares, especially on a drop. Rumor is the Fed will drop interest rates 50-75%. If you buy stock, buy quality. No Yahoo crap. GE, IBM, Microsoft, which are all safe to hold if it drops after you buy it.
Expect airlines to drop like a rock, for a good discount if you have gambleing money. Defense stocks will probably rise so fast, you can't catch them cheap. I think the NYC Comptroller, Alan Hevasy said the NYC Pension Plan is buying big time, but I'm not positive.

Yeah I plan on buying stocks. But that's after the massive dumping at the beginning. Asian markets and european markets took a hit because of their fears. Americans will have the same fears. Therefore tomorrow is my bargain hunting day.

Perhaps I am a bit naive or uneducated about the stock market.
How can everyone buy $100 worth of stock? If I want to buy a stock, doesn't someone else have to sell it?

That's why there is the price of the stock. If everyone wants to buy, the price will just keep going up until noone wants to buy anymore.
Just like now, everyone wants to sell. So prices are dropping and will continue to do so until it reaches levels where people don't feel it's worth it to sell anymore
Buying $100 worth of stock won't make one whit of a difference. It's the MM's that dictate the rise and fall of stocks, and they deal with hundreds of thousands of $$$ (if not millions) of stock value, not a mere $100.
A charity organization could use that $100 far more than the economy.

I am planning on buying a few hundred dollars worth sometime this week, mainly because prices are so low!
Total unabridged, unrepentant neffing:
GIVE THE $100+ YOU COULD SPEND ON STOCKS TO THE RED CROSS. YES THE ECONOMY NEEDS IT, BUT THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN MONEY.
Great idea, but our focus should be on American citizens, not American money (in my opinion).
