I just looked at my 401 k from work. After today it needs to be resuscitated. What ACLS algorhythm do we use here.

I peeked this week and just about cried. I had always planned to work until I was 70, now heck, I'll be working forever!
At least until we die. Drinks are on me.

Maybe we should invest in the 401 keg instead. :)

I lost almost $40,000. Yesterday I rolled most my $$ into a 4 yr. cd paying 5%. Wished I'd done that on Monday...even better a week ago!
What will be my share to buy into that 401keg? :beer: :beer:
I think I'm going to put less money in my 403b and more into my high yield money market account at the bank. Maybe if I just stuff a couple hundred bucks into an envelope and shove it under my mattress, that would work better.
To me, this is just the beginning. I don't things are going to get better anytime soon and no matter who gets elected.
I feel like my $$$ couldn't have disappered faster...except by running it through the garbage disposal first.
I put mine in a 4 yr cd as I figured this was not going to be a quick recovery. Time will tell.

Gold, precious metals and .... property.
Yes, property. Owning land is never a bad investment.
You may not make a killing - but what you have will always hold "true value". It is stable and retains value - contrary to the fluctuations in the currency market and inflation.
Currency depreciates. Hard assets don't.
cheers,
