If the cupboard was a stock size you could've easily replaced it fairly cheaply.

Fourth, 401k's, pensions, stock portfolios have taken major hits of 30% or more in recent weks.

i can see everything's affected from real estate to stocks

I fear selling while the knife is falling, I've done this with stocks and lost my arse a few times and would rather hold until stabilization.

Better stock up on MREs, or at least a good stock of canned beans.

This weekend it'll only get worse before it gets better.It's kind of odd how we could have our biggest stock market implosion, yes bigger then this past Monday, in October.

I don't know if it's socialist but it is a clear example of the corruption we're in.This bailout is the equivalent of dumping taxpayer dollars into WorldCom to prop it back up, taking Bernie Ebbers out of prison and giving him a bonus, then blaming 401k's and tech stock investors for their scandalous greed.

GET OUT OF THE STOCK MARKET :cry:

Seems like the markets are not exactly embracing the bailout plan. A worldwide sell-off is not a good sign.

:cool:

The past two weeks have only strengthened my resolve to end all investments in mutual funds and stocks to invest in solely real estate.
