Was able to open a small position in Boeing at $162.  It's still above my preferred "buy-in" price of $150 but either way I believe over the long term it's going to give me some good returns.  The market is "moderately down" and I use that term lightly given the high volatility that we have seen.  Down 600+ points on the DOW has kind of become the new "normal" recently.  Keep in mind we are still up for the week and if I recall correctly just yesterday we had a near 1200 point gain just yesterday.

Now I happen to be optimistic but I would encourage people to be cautious.  There is the possibility that we could test the lows again, but at this point I don't think (hope) we will.

Keep in mind a lot of margin calls were due today and I'm thinking that many of the "big boys" are doing some consolidation.  Watching the last hour of trading will be interesting today.
