Any way you could let us roughly know the dollar value of some of these investments?
I mean, it's one thing for you to say you initiated a position and I see that it is 3% of your total investments. But it would help me keep track of this better if I could get a $ amount. Maybe a rough guesstimate of your portfolios worth?
If this is information you do not want to share, I completely understand.

Well, I am deeply appreciative.
Question for today. You often talk about making decisions about your stocks based on information found in a companies Quarterly or Annual Reports. I've went scoping for these and I see they are usually available buried deep in the "Investor Relations" section of the companies website.
But I would assume there is a database or clearing-house of these where they are made easily available to the public? Would I be wrong in that assumption?
Thanks in advance.

So is there any consensus on how low this thing could go? I suppose that's a stupid question, if anyone knew it would be news.
But it just doesn't make any sense to me. Admittedly, I'm a financial ignoramus. But how can all of these stocks just continue to fall and fall and fall. If you're assuming that most of these companies are in fact, in decent shape, and if the stock is a reflection of the worth of the company, why the complete evaporation of stock prices?
I mean, if these companies are fundamentally sound then why aren't the big boys with money to throw around buying up these stocks like hot-cakes? As low as they are now they HAVE to be great deals, right?

Again, thanks for posting. Some of us really enjoy this running record, and I for one am learning heaps and gobs about financial dealings.
Quick question. Are there any events that you could envision that would lead to you just cutting and running from the markets? I know that intelligent investors, yourself included, usually speak out against selling at the bottom, but I would think everyone has a limit where they just don't feel comfortable remaining in the market, whether because of volatility or just overall declining value.
So can you foresee a scenario like that? If the markets dropped 50% from where they are? What if they went down to 2000? Or would you be more concerned with volatility and single day swings? Could the market simply become too unpredictable and force you out?
Or is it possible for you and others, by dealing in things like the Ultrashorts that you continue to hold, to make money in any kind of market?
Answer, please.

You mentioned that unemployment numbers come out tomorrow, and I listen to Marketplace on NPR every day and they often will tell you the market-driving pieces of data that will be released the next day, such as GPD numbers, inflation, consumer confidence, durable goods orders, etc.
Do you have anything handy that lists the release dates of this information, or at least the important ones?
Thanks in advance...

VIX VIX VIX.
I hear about the VIX all day long. I listen to Chicago AM radio all day at work, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange has like, every other commercial on the station. And they crow incessantly about the stupid VIX and how smart they are for thinking of it and all of this nonsense.
You are the first real person I've heard talk about it.

Okay, and a question.
Do you know anything about the stock of Warren Buffet's company, Berkshire Hathaway?
Why is it listed as trading at 85,700.00. Is that really the stock price? And I see that volume is incredibly low, like, 2,000 shares. Are there just not many shares in existence? Would this be the reason for the ridiculous price?
Can that possibly be correct?
Please explain this anomaly to me.

So what does Mr. Buffett gain from not splitting or diluting his stock. I mean, what's his reasoning behind it? Are there other companies that don't do those things as well?
It just seems strange to see such a big number there...

Two questions for you market types.
1) Do you think the government will begin limiting short selling? Do you think this is the right thing to do, or is only a late reaction to something that isn't a huge issue anymore?
2) Do you think 8,000 in the DJI is a kind of psychological barrier at the moment? It seems to me from watching, and I'm strictly an ignorant observer, that every time we get a decent amount below that level recently we head back up, but that if we hit about 8,000 there begins to be profit-taking and the average goes down. Is that just something I'm imagining, or an actual force at work?
Thanks for your replies, as always.

Yes, everyone who wants to sell has likely sold as evidenced by drop in share price to under a buck yesterday.
The only thing I could think of that might cause market ripples would be the bond-holders who are going to get spanked, and the implication on their stock price if such entities are publicly traded.
Of course, I don't claim to know anything about this stuff. My only real interest in the market is as it pertains to the political situation both here and abroad.
