i read somewhere that a guy bought citi shares last month when they were just $1.05 and now they are at $4 each so he said he invested into 600 stocks that seams a lot, so he's total gain is like $1800 which is amazing for 1 month
Its happens all the time with stock market. One day the shares increase, other day they go down. You can't really predict what will happen. You should invest with caution.
About 3-4 days of the never ending news channels talking about the end of banking and the modern economy and they could quite well be $2 per share. My point is we have way to much news coverage which causes the market to move far more dramatically then it really should move. There is no real reason why the Dow should be as low as it is. You have sound stocks paying over 6% in dividends.
