[Premium Parrots]

.....untill this past week. Now its dwindeling rapidly. My stock protfolio has dropped by 7 points in the last few days. This crap has to stop.

and I'm invested in modest/secure funds. I can't imagine what is happing with riskier stocks. Look for people jumping out 49th floor windows soon.



just sayin

This is why I don't gamble with money. Whenever I go out and spend too much. I get home and think, "Hell, now I'm broke..." And then I think to myself, "At least I had fun! I could have blown it in the stock market, instead."

haha

I stopped worrying about retirement last year, won't be anything left for me when I get there and any money I would have saved would be taxed to death and dwindled. Figure if someone has to blow my money, might as well be me.

Really? I thought the Tea Party said that all of this bickering about the debt ceiling would give investors more confidence in the USA.

Everybody has to stop demonizing the tea party, granted the say the things that piss some off, but let's be for real, the tea party has existed for 18 month now if that. and everything is there fault, c'mon people, aren't we a bit smarter thatn that? I'll leave it there till people want to know more........

I'm starting to believe the Tea Party are the sane ones. If i had to choose between Michelle Bachmann and Barney Frank. I'd say Bachmann is the saner of the two.

That Tea Party is a funny thing. Bush spends money like a drunken sailor for 8 years, and nobody utters a peep. Four days after a Black man gets into the White House this Tea Party pops up and starts railing against the "government".

Yes. Buy low, sell high...

You weren't supposed to notice that!!

Makes them seem like a bunch of racists.

Timing must be just a coincidence.

IDK my 401 is was up 4.5% when I got my mid year letter. My modest stock port. is up maybe 15 points on the year. Most my stocks, 70% are Costco and the rest is in Stone brewing.My money market is still paying 3.4 % So I feel good about where I am being 34 and all. With gold so very high I wouldn't buy in less you strongly feel the end is nigh. As things get better over the next 5-10 years it will likely drop.

[jmdkodiak]

Is gold really that high? I called yesterday cause I have a coin I wanted to get made into a necklace. Just a simple frame and chain, and they said it'd cost anywhere from $250-$500
That's a lot!

[jmdkodiak]

...... the rest is in Stone brewing......

I like the way you think.
