I know the stocks on the Dow has reached over 300 points on one day, but the next it could drop over 400. Its all too up and down to make many thousands. If I seem a tad unknowledgeable about the Wall St market , then thats because I'm British and I do not know too much about the markets worldwide. I tried to break into the markets last year, but thing after thing kept happening and I thought "f**k it, whats the point", I still havn't invested. Even a case of the "Bear Market" happened which means that my investment at the time of starting up would have lost all its profit. I was born in the wrong time and I've missed my chance, while those investors were celebrating heavy gains in the 80's, I wasn't even 10.
Theres now too much unpredictibilty and uncertainty, especially after this damm C C and trusting institutions that you havn't yet invested in yet seems a tad too much.
