The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I made the mistake of checking a stocks and shares ISA I've had for 3 years now. It told me through the medium of line graphs that I should've sold everything I had in April.
I'm just going to ride it out and hope for the best.

half a million of what total though, especially if it's somehow related to subprime lending
By "lost a half a million," I mean that my total portfolio value from a month ago has declined by roughly 500K. I'm not including my IRA in that assessment.
One thing to remember is that if you have money invested, as long as you're diversified you shouldn't do anything stupid like completely withdraw from the market. When the market rights itself (that is a when, not an if), you will make a large portion of your money back in the first few years. This has happened every single time we have gone from bear to bull.
So if you're young, chill out and don't do anything stupid. I get real nervous when I look at my 401k and the other place I have investments, but I still have 45-50 years to worry about making it back.

Hey, don't go filling my anger thread with rational advice!
No, really, you're right. And I haven't sold anything (except my Google shares, but that was unrelated to the drop), it's just really frustrating to watch your portfolio value drop precipitously almost every hour.
I need to just stop watching.
Actually, no, that's not true, because I am hoping to time the rebound well and buy up huge bundles of under performing stocks.
I'm still nervous, though. I know it will rebound eventually, but it doesn't appear to be anytime very soon.

500,000 of what total is my point. If you've lost 500,000 of $50mill, I don't give a shit. If you've lost 500k of 600k, that is a different story.
Also it's kinda crazy here, even though gold is going down in price, because our dollar is going down so much against the US dollar it's actually meaning that the price is basically going up. Somewhere around $1,400NZD for an ounce, converting the price in USD to NZD

500K is rougly 20% of my total portfolio value from September 1st. It's less if you take the value from the start of the year.
Oh, Christ on a Cracker, the market just opened and the DOW fell another 500 points.
I find stocks and portfolios and bonds and investments and dividends and fiscal years mystifying
The bit that confuses me the most is when people are like 'everyone lost a lot of money because everyone went crazy because we lost some money yesterday'
But like, why not just keep hold of stuff instead of going crazy when things go bad
Also I don't know about the economy or anything, but wouldn't stocks dropping mean that alot of people would be spurred to buy sometime in the future, thus bringing them back up?

It is a good thing I didn't make my contribution yet for the year.

Regardless, this really blows. I've lost nearly a half a million in the last month.
Were you the guy who always boosted about how much money you made in the stocks many many months ago?

Also this is going to be much worse than 87 before its over and done with. This this is just getting started.
Yeah man, I know I can weather this bullshit out. But I feel really bad for my parents.
"Boasted."
And yes.
You can mock me now.

Providing we don't all starve and die and all that.
perhaps investing in gold aswell

The problem with gold is there isn't enough to meet demand at this point, and the price is going through the roof.
