Stock market is crashing.

[Anna]

And a local gun dealer told me his distributors are saying that ARs are flying off their shelves.
In fact he couldn't get even one of them,  and 7.62x51 has been scarce now for weeks.
5.56 is next you watch, 45 & 40 ACP in any ball ammo is going way up in price now.
If u got em, reload em.

[mechanic]

Yep, glad I got plenty of "roll yer own".
 
I've been trying to find a Ruger 10-22 locally.  They were once thick as fleas, but have disappeared, along with any hi cap mag weapon. 
 
One shop has some AR15 cheapos..too much plastic.

1911s are still selling like hot cakes around here.  Along with any SAA,they always have been a staple
in this part of the state. But the focus is going to end up being on ammo, and reloading supply's.
My dad still has a Ruger old army, and for a ball and cap it isn't to bad of a gun to own.

That OA is right up there in power with many modern guns, as long as you can keep the stuff to make it go!

I regret not buying one a few years ago when they stopped making them (slumps shoulders and poubts) 

[Anna]

I love shooting my dads, lots of smoke and plenty of power. The frames of those things must as good as any modern day revolver because dad has an extra cylinder for it he uses 45 LC in .
I've always had a soft spot for any SAA, but a Luger is also another one that is a blast to shoot.
That toggle action is different for sure, and they point better than I can do with my finger lol.

[Squib]

I just know they look cool 

anyways, back to that stock market... you were saying people (not in the gun industry anyways) are losing money?

[scootrd]

Oh Noooo .. The Sky is falling





Well this is certainly news to me  -  (as well as T. Rowe Price, Goldman Sachs , Prudential , Edward Jones, Fidelity and others. Though macroeconmics may interject some volatility in 4th QTR (until fiscal bump in the road is resolved by congress ) Markets are still poised to end 2012 posting decent gains.

		U.S. Stocks
		Total Return1
Index2	Third Quarter 2012	Year-to-Date
DJIA	5.02%	12.19%
S&P 500	6.35	16.44
Nasdaq Composite	6.17	19.62
S&P MidCap 400	5.44	13.77
Russell 2000	5.25	14.23

As Edward Jones cites -  About half the country is disappointed in the election results, and slightly more are pleased by President Obama's reelection. But almost everyone is relieved that the election is over – in fact, it appeared the market celebrated on Election Day when the Dow rose 133 points. However, stocks have reversed course sharply, as investors refocused on the year-end fiscal cliff, Europe's debts and other concerns that had been temporarily overshadowed by the election. Whether you're elated or distressed by the election outcome, there are some investment decisions you may want to consider – and a few lessons to learn, too. The most important thing to remember is that it's not a good idea to make emotional investment decisions based on your fears or excitement about the election or short-term market moves. Your financial future is more likely to be determined by your actions than the election results.

Money managers pay relates to performance and there is renewed pressure on them to come through as the end of a year looms. Bloomberg surveyed 12 Wall Street strategists and found them collectively forecasting one of the largest 4Q rally in 13 years. They think that the S&P 500 will rise 15% this quarter. While Wall Street experts are forecasting the stock market to end 2012 with double-digit gains 4th quarter may be a bit of a roller coaster , but 2012 will end with yeild.

Perhaps before making outlandish "Stock market is crashing" remarks , one should research , read , and educate themselves.
and not mix politics with long term investment strategies.

My personal portfolio has posted exceptional 2012 gains well above DJI and S&P (I don't invest in Tech)

I wonder how fast it'll fall, when this built up phony economy catch's up with the lack of real money. This is a propped up economy, has been for a long time. Obama just wanted to make it thru the election. He got his wish, now, Soros will get his. gypsyman

[SHOOTALL]

How does one determine how many are pleased ? less than half the country voted . BTW no one ask me if I was pleased anyone here ger ask ? I guess the fact that the market has fallen the most in years has no effect . BTW the gun companies are up 10 points in the last few days.

Maybe?  But, with a high of 14,164.53 in October of 2007, and a close of 12,756.18 today, the Dow is DOWN nearly 10% over the last 5 years.

Thats just it. Obama does not have to worry about getting elected again, and Soros has what he wanted. A marxist president of the United States. Soros once said that the only obstacle to a world order is the United States. Soros is now running America with the help of the media, and a bunch of communist organizations that he funds.
 We are in the middle of a communist takeover, and people are saying "look the stock market is fine, I made some money" Come back in 3 or 4 years and let us know what that money is worth.   

[clum sum]

Now is the time to buy.

         LOL.  Yeah, YOU go for it.  Think I'll pick up some silver and supplies.

My daughter has lost roughly $2500 since sept.  apple stock.

If you want to save your money get it out of the stock market, and bury it in your yard. Although it won't be long until we go the way of Zimbabwe, where you will need a stack of money to buy a can of soup. Many think we are going the way of Greece. Big difference, Greece couldn't print their own money.

[SHOOTALL]

America won't crash the banks can't afford to allow it. They may drive it down enough to insure total control though.

[Not the 10th Man]

All I want is a couple pounds of powder, and a few primers.  Due to my current remote oilfield location, I won't be able to purchase any for another two weeks.  I hope there's something left.  I'm not saving up for the apocalypse, I just wanna keep loading and shooting!
 
I've flirted with the notion of an AR or an AK, but just...can't get into it.  I reckon I'll just have to keep making due with my clunky old revolvers, lever guns and the like...
