Well...
A tough day for wall street. Right about now, all those nice certs in my stock
protfolio
are about as worthless to me as a 12 pack of toiletpaper... but too rough to
enjoy...
Say what? ;')
Thank GOD, I converted most all of it to other investments earlier this year. I
actually
listened to my wife for a change and stopped being greedy and exposed in the
market. My losses hurt, but at the least I still have something left to think
about.
It's hard watching your hard earned dollars slip into nothingness. As I left
work this
evening, my normally cold-as-ice-asshole-boss simply looked terrible. I stopped
and we talked a bit... probably the first time I heard him speak from his heart
in over
5 years. It was all about money and BOY was it heart wrenching... his
retirement is all
but gone. Talk about a lost soul. I know and work with people that have lost
100's
of thousands of dollars in the last year or so...
My god, what have we done?
I gotta' tell you guys and gals... my heart of hearts is predicting doom. Where
it's comming
from I'm not real sure. Is it NAFTA? Cyclic changes in the market? Who knows.
Just
be sure you're ready for it, though. It's gonna' be tough.
If what my mom told me when I was a kid... that $600.00 that Bush wants to send
me
may not be enough to buy bread and milk next year.
Sorry. I'm usually a lot more upbeat than this... Good night and God bless.
