This video is a couple of months old. Stock prices took another big
hit 4/11/08 with more anticipated in the next few weeks. Get
out while you can.

Ron Paul who?
I'll sell when Warren Buffett sells.
The DOW was at 850 on 1981 and 12,325 as of 4/11/08 - not exactly a hugh
crash even it was down 256 point for the day, partly due to GE.
Also for reasons of laziness and stupidity, most newsies report
these kinds of drops in numbers. The largest one day numerical drop of a
few months ago, did not even make it into the top 25 percentage-wise,
the right metric.
I don't think its laziness. They have to talk about something. Saying "ABC
fell by $1!!!" sounds much more exiting than "ABC fell by just over 1% which
takes it back to the price it was 2 days ago" and they certainly couldn't
say "Well nothing really happened today and if it had happened we wouldn't
really know why"
