The stock market

Stocks go up , stocks go down , all part of the game .........

when you're on a fixed income & counting on you're funds to provide that income - it hurts - a lot - I'd hardly call it a "game"

I agree. I would also say you should be only handling the proper amount of risk that you could stomach and afford.

I’m 100% equities and 0 bonds. My horizon for retirement is 30+ years away. If I was retired I’d be 60%+ fixed income/bonds. I’d only hold enough equities to offset inflation.

I just started looking into iBonds. Great place to park rainy day fund and keep up with inflation. Risk free return.

Wader it is a game , no doubt about it ... Your / mine investment is only as good as the next headline ..............
Algo's do most of the trading nowadays ...
Do your research , place your 'bets' and hope for 'good ' reports .........

What companies Joe? I have had a position in Enbridge for a couple of years now ..... it was up 1.11% during today's carnage and is currently returning a 5.87% dividend .

Well aware of the game but 600+ fluctuations are not the norm. Would you agree? As wader pointed out it still hurts some. Would you agree?

Time to go bargain shopping.

Definitely worth a look especially if tomorrow is the same or close. But that is not the norm for many Americans that have zero or under 10K for retirement. Which is almost half of the population.

Always more fun to make money , sometimes as hard you might try it doesn't always work out ..................
NEVER buy on MARGIN , Youre probably too late once headline breaks , try not to chase headlines .............

ENLC has a GREAT Owner / Backer .. GIP ......... ENLC has a 1.3 coverage ratio with a 'promise ' of 5-10% dividend growth ........ Great IR Dept , very responsive .........
ENLC plumbs gas for Devon and has a recent relationship with EXXON , in the bustling Delaware Basin ,,, ENLC is also exposed to the STACK play in OK , The STACK gas/oil play is a little slower than expected and ENLC has been hurt by the news ........ The STACK will be fine and the Delaware is a WORLD CLASS play .........
if you bought ENLC today your dividend would be slightly over 10% ......
One more for today ... AM .... Nearly 10% dividend , mostly owned by NYC Muckity Muks , AM is the 'child ' of AR a quality WV gas producer .. AM plumbs the gas AR produces ... Growing dividend as well 1.1 coverage ratio , plenty of growth ahead .........
ENB is a very , very good Canadian pipeline , I owned their 'child' EEQ for years ...... EEQ has been folded back into family ..................
Any kind of major pullback ENB is a good choice ...........
PS.. Quality OXY has been beaten up lately due to its recent merger , its paying 5.7% today .... Interesting oil play with plenty of coverage ...........
Best of luck if you jump in ..............

my funds dropped over $5000 today - I'm retired living off of that - this is scary shit - no cavalier attitude on this end - that can be left others who aren't living on it - it hurts - I can't live with another day like today - it had yet to climb back from the last round of trade talk failures - so now overall well down nearly $20,000
