Did you know...

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11 the Dow fell 14.3% from Sept 10th to Sept 21st, but 63 days later had returned 24.8%....don't time the markets, you will miss the bounce back..

After the crash of 29 from 10/11/29 to 11/13/29 the market lost 43.6%, but then 126 days later it was up 46%.....for those that could keep their money in the market, you would have recovered your losses...stay invested...
For the week of Sept Sept 15/08 to Sept 19/08...

Monday- market down over 500 points
Tuesday- market closes up 140 points
Wednesday-market drops 450 points
Thursday- market closes up 400 points
Friday- market closes up 368 points
for the week...a loss of .27%....i bet the people that sold after Monday weren't too happy, bc they actually realized the loss....

It is going to continue to be a rocky ride, so keep your seatbelts fastened...
STAY INVESTED!
