I'm sitting on VUSTX and VGENX.
Plus the stuff in my 401k which is getting hit hard but I'm not touching that for a while.

I would be supporting their trading platform and doing some fix connectivity stuff. JPM already have a bunch of guys that do that...Bears aren't my top choice after the various rounds of interviews and with their current situationand past few months looking ropey it wasn't going to be my first choice.

I bought KFT @ $29.75 and WMI @ $32.30 this morning.
I look forward to increasing my holding in both companies.
Value play, and they both pay a hefty dividend. I'll be in them for the long term.
My purchase of BAC(or anything financial for that matter) has been put on hold for now.
Unless something drastic happens such as BAC dropping to the $30.xx range or less, it's on the back burner.

Just curious on how much he actually lost. He didn't come back and give us an update. Heck, I've taken my fair share of losses this past year. My retirement has taken such a bloodletting it's not even funny. If you're in the hole it's nice to know that you're not alone in the hole.
I have a short turbo position on Eurostoxx50 that finally made me some money: +12%
I also have a long turbo on oil, I have made 21% on this one. I'm not selling for the moment because I think there will be at least another skeleton that will fall out of the skeleton, if that happens I will sell the Eurostoxx position
I also have a position in 2 European banking stock which are very much in bloody red right now
I lost 11% on my position on Fortis and 15% on my position in KBC. I'm keeping these for the long run because I think that the fundamentals are right. I probably will buy some more of these. Until now their losses because of the subprime mess are not to big, but who knows, apparantly respectable giants can go broke now in 48 hours

When peons like us have heard the rumor, I believe it's somewhat priced in. I believe tradeable rally is coming as too many people are piling on and pressing. Fiercest rallies occur in the context of the bear market and maybe the Fed and Goldman will be the catalyst.
There will only be a rally in Goldman shares tomorrow if...
a) Bernanke cuts rate 1-1.25% tomorrow leading to a general rally in the entire market.
b) GS reports much less write downs than expected (ex: <$3 billion)
You are right that it's already priced in, however I still wouldn't take such a risk.

If I read that right...5 shares is relatively nothing. No need for the PM. No sense in kicking a man when he's down.
