I missed most of the fun here as my internet was totally screwed for Thursday & Friday.
History was being made and I was relegated to watching CNBC. Acckkk! Plus I had to run out to take my mother to a Dr's appt. which ended up being cancelled so I missed even most of the tv coverage.
Fortunately, my portfolio was relatively well positioned so I ended up doing pretty well. :-)
I'm really ticked though at not being able to book SKF on Thur. I was really going crazy Fri. morning when SKF again spiked up to 135. Just as I was putting in a sell order the cable guy working up the street pulled the plug. Then SKF plunged just as fast as my internet did.
Comcast got things fixed shortly before I had to go in to work but then my Scottrade program wouldn't start up. Apparently something in the configuration got corrupted with all the internet problems.
Fortunately, I managed to get something cobbled together and put in a trailing stop loss order just before having to rush off to work.
SKF came back and ended up being one of my best trades ever.

Next week is going to be crazy. 80% chance of a 1 percent cut.
Anyone startled at how close we all came to the collapse of the banking system on Friday?
Arghh, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. Oh, and damn.
