The sky is falling
 

DOW down almost 1000 points on 2 days. House prices in the bucket. All the news networks are babbling incoherently. Bush says nothing and the 2 candidates are in so far over their heads they're lost. Our Congress says "screw it" and they're going on vacation. We're doomed.

It may be good that Congress is taking a vacation.

I think Neil Cavuto is pretty coherent.

rshoffer, you're right
My suggestions:

1)prayer
2)learn to really like beans
3)enjoy a comfortable retirement, just don't live too long

You know, I have a few bucks in my purse right now.

My purse is right here beside me.

And I just took a close look at this money of mine. This money right here in my purse.

And I had never really noticed before.

But right there, on the front, right there, as plain as day, right there on the front of this money of mine, it clearly says, "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private."

Ohhhhh, now I get it.

Boomer the Bailer

:pepper2: BUY! :a040: There are a lot of stocks and funds that are having tremendous sales this week. It's like going to Beall's Outlet on Mondays.

Volatile market
 

On the way up, we earn.
On the way down, we learn.

Buddy can you spare $2 for a cup of Coffee!

Who cares who is responsible for this, lets fire congress. The are the only folks who can afford a vacation.


This is beyond real!

I agree with Boomer. Whatever Boomer says. That Boomer is smart about a lot of things. I have my money tied up in the corner of my handkerchief.

My Edward Jones guru calls me almost daily with the same plea!

ONe suggestion on a morning talk show was to TURN THE COMPUTER OFF...and do not look at a financial page every hour. These are supposed to be "long term" investments. Easier said than done!!

Two years from now we will look back and wish we had bought stocks at these low prices. Some of the best American companies are on sale this week.

2 years?
 

6 months from now you will look back and wish you had bought yesterday at 3:30 P.M. If history proves out. (I did!) You still have time to buy but hurry.:coolsmiley:

I agree, let's fire the Congress. Do it while they are on vacation. They probably won't even notice that their desks are gone when they get back!

Not So Sure.
 

Was watching Susie Orman and she said this is NOT the time to buy unless you can leave the money alone for (are you ready) five years! I am not going to pretend to be well versed on the Stock Market. Just telling you what I heard. Apparently she doesn't see an upswing for a very, very long time. :shocked:
