Whilst the market tanks and sky is falling...

It's great to think I'll be out there cheering on my stangs Saturday night, getting away from these Wall Street skyscraper highdivers. At least the panic with the team is a different kind of panic.

Being a stockbroker and a Mustang fan ain't too much fun right now.

Bobby McFerrin's stock has been down for some time now.

The only thing worse is to being an investor...

My biggest holdings have gone done by about 60% and 50%, respectively, in the last several weeks.

Crappy.

And I wouldn't have known, because I didn't want to know, but I had to log in to get my dividends & earnings from last year for 10/15 taxes. So doubly [deleted].

It could be worse you could live in Iceland, they are raising the taxes on Vodka to meet the National debt to due bank failures. 20 hours per day of darkness, your banks are failing and now your booze costs more.

Mrsmrydel has been in a kind of depressed state due to a milestone birthday she celebrated yesterday. She was able to recover and went shopping today. Her investment into the economy should start to show tomorrow and the consumer confidence should follow. Keep you eyes open for good deals quickly because she has her shopping game face on.

Odd how the two are similar. I have no control over the Stock market or our teamÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s performance. Both have less than stellar performances lately. I keep losing money (one through investment and one through donations, tickets, etc.) and I hope and pray that both will recover soon.

The biggest difference so far is one is an unrealized loss and the other is a realized loss.

Makes you wonder what will happen first, the DOW going to 12,000 again, or SMU having a winning season?

I have been looking at mortality tables...will I die or my money run out first?

Now is a GREAT time to study up and BUY.
AIG is pretty cheap. If you believe it will stay around you should buy some.

Kind of like our Mustangs. From one win a year we can not go down much more.

What other stocks are in the tank but will survive? :wink:

I guessing GM and Ford since we gave them a 25 billion bailout just before the 700 billion one. I'm banking on the government not letting them go under.

Good question, oh wise ones!

The canned response from a brocker: "Well, history suggests you stay in for the long haul, yada yada"....well, what if you are losing more % of your portolio than you can afford to"

It's VERY dicey right now!! What is the hot stock that is sure to go up?
