Its no laughing matter...if anyone bought it near its lows its they'd already be making 50% where its >$4 in after hours trading. That's a helluva return.

You pulled the trigger, that's what counts. I would have taken a profit intraday and wouldn't have any at this point to profit anymore from.

Thank god I bought my first mutual fund ever last week. I'm already down $20, but it's a bond fund! Now I remember why I said no to playing with stocks and dealing with risk.

Not necessarily. Bernanke today said that there's going to be no nationalization, meaning we're not going to have save more money to pay off these incompetents, and, that he thinks the recession will be over by the end of the year. Considering he's the Chairman of the Fed, while Obama is pretty boy puppet for a bunch of frumps, more people are hopeful on Bernakne than "pass the money around in a jar we can dip our fingers in" stimulus.

I've made more on stocks in the last two days (on paper at least) than I did at work. It seems everyone's posting good news finally and there's a big rally going on. Hell, I even sold GM when it was 4.10, then rebought at 2.22...it's back up to 2.93 already.

Some of my other favorites: Akamai, Sun Micro, and Suntech, are going through the roof too. Tech stocks surging is a good sign that money is being spent again.

What do you think? Light at the end of the tunnel?

One good day in the midst of this morass is more like a wet match spark in a squall. There are some trading plays but you're riding volatility, not the economic recovery. Don't get to excited, young puppy.

No investment is without risk unless you're diversified. Your bond fund is great, but it's a failing strategy if it's your only one.
