In the 2008 market decline, the market dropped 7500 points between Oct 2007 and March 2009.
The DJIA has dropped 3200 points since Dec 3rd. (25,800 on Dec 3rd, currently 22,600). In 18 days, it has shed what took 9 months to do last crisis. This year also includes the largest one-day drop in the history of the market, 1600 points in February.
At what point should we get nervous?
I survived my second round of cancer, and now...
I need a little help paying for it.
I've never been a frequent poster here, but I've always found DU to be a supportive community. I'm hoping to lean on a little bit of that support.
On July 25th, I went to my doctor with lightheadedness and stomach problems. It turned out to be Stage II Colon Cancer. I was immediately put in the hospital for surgery. Even though the surgery went well, my recovery has been moving slowly, and they extended my stay from four days to six. I've been on bed rest since.
I start chemo on the 13th. I'm looking at a 6 month course, with treatments every week. After that, there's check ups every 6 months for the rest of my life.
