May I ask a question here ? How many of you guys have actually put a new or revised computer system or program in place ? If you had, you would know that no matter how stressful you beta testing is, only when the switch is thrown do you know how many problems or glitches are going to pop up...

Arkady, I never actually said what anyone has to do, I was only saying what I will do in the event of a complete government shutdown. Nevertheless you too have a way of covering your risk, and you believe a sound method of dealing with it best of luck to you.

That assumes you have a long run to count on, but whatever way you approach it and your approach has paid off for you and mine for me, its what you have the stomach for and the amount of risk you can stand.
Good Luck

That's what a lot of people believe, but then you have to wonder about those who are very successful short selling , dumping, etc. Yes most people have less of a chance on the market then they do with a lottery ticket, I'm suggesting prudence protects those who act prudently.
But you are...
You are giving good advice basically, but if you get hit, and I do hope you don't, come back and reread your post then. Note I didn't say abandon the market, I only said hedge your bet.
TaiPan
Be nice if it were true, but you need to define just how many billions are in marginal. During the Reagan crash back in the 80's I lost 50% of the value of my 401k, and about 35% of the value of most of my mutual funds. That was a chunk of investment, that took more than 10 years to comeback...
Only if you miss the tic Arkady. Indeed what I am saying is take your gains, preserve them, and come back in after the market bottoms out again, if it does. I happen to believe it will if the government shuts down, and I'm not prepared to risk my current gains. I can't see the market gaining...
Hey I agree with much of what you are saying, but what I am saying is that its a lot better to reap your gains, and buy back in at the low later.
TaiPan
With all of this talk about shutdown, has anyone thought about the damage to the Stock Market, and how best to prepare ? I would empty my 401k before the 9th, and put any funds in a nice safe bank vault, in cash. Buying a few gold options wouldn't hurt either. If your account balances are...
There you go again Jack with the lies and the propaganda. I told you before repeating lies from other sources makes you a liar yourself. Now back to truth, which jobs is AHCA killing. minimum wage a below jobs like maybe waitress/or delivery driver at Papa John's Pizza. Haven't seen it, MOF...
Oh bullshit back to you Jack.You and those like you have advocated killing the AHCA from jump street. What is the matter are you so senile now that you forget your own posts ? The AHCA will replace the current Medicare/Medicaid system once fully implemented, or did you just not read the...
What's bullshit Jack ? Is it the fact that you get these benefits and want to deny them to other people, or are you going to lie and claim you don't get them yourself ? Answer carefully Jack, or Diogenes will pass you by in his search for an HONEST man.
Like I told you before Jack, you can't...
Soon as you agree to give up your medicare and VA Benefits Jack. The world will get on board. Otherwise the Republican party has no affordable health care to offer, only the endless enrichment of Big Pharma and Insurance.
