I am bracing for another "O-shit Obama moment" tonight and have cash on hand to make a buy to get a 'discount' price on some mutual funds.

I voted:  "Nothing of significance is said and Dow continues downward slide in correction closing between 7000-7500"

I imagine that it will close somewhere closer to 7000 than 7500 and we will gradually keep on sliding to the 6000 mark.  Hell, just when I thought that 8000 was the bottom of the floor it keeps on going.

I voted that the market has already factored in what this guy is going to say and it will be grim; investors are not going to be committal on this market until they know what the ground rules are going to be under the new socialist utopia.

You may have been a little hasty in that conclusion, JohnDeere.  I don't want steal GarMan's thunder from the thread that he started on this subject today but 45 minutes before markets close today:

Dow Falls 281.40, Now Down 25% for Year


Investors Hoping for a Bottom Get More Declines Instead; Citigroup Trades Under $1 a Share
[5 Mar 2009]
By TOM LAURICELLA

Stocks resumed their relentless slide after a one-day respite, falling to new bear-market lows.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 281.40 points, or 4.1%, to 6594.44, its lowest close since April 15, 1997, and down more than 53% from its closing high on Oct. 9, 2007. It has fallen nearly 25% so far this year.

Just a hunch but I think we're going to DJ 4K...

I don't see it, but even if we do decline that much, I still see great opportunity and significant upside for the long term.  Eventually, people are going to have their fill of this Socialist shit, and free market forces will prevail.
