Man... This is an educating thread for me. I don't know a lot about this subject. I've always thought watching S&P made better sense since it was a broader picture of things than DOW. I also thought this would be the time to get buying rather than selling. I don't have money to lose, so selling anything at a loss is gives me a burning sensation deep in my gut.
Not buying from China would be a great idea, IMO. It would cause a great stir at first, but would benefit us in the long run. I think it would encourage China to better relations with us and other nations, as well. We get taxed to sell there, and we import all their stuff like we can't live without it. Even as consumers, it seems that most folks would rather buy twice than to buy something nice. Redwing boots or Timberlands? Most folks will buy 3 pairs instead of one pair that will last 10 or more years.
It's Tuesday and overall, things are looking up a bit from what I've seen, but they still have yet to open. Hopefully I can make some good decisions here...
