DOW below 9000.  My 401k is down over 40% for the year.

I do the cha-cha like a sissy girl.  I like-a. do. the cha-cha.

My red-faced screaming is now directed at the people that caused it rather than the people trying (no matter how half-assedly) to fix it.

Let me guess...Republicans did it while Dodd, Fwank and Maxine Waters were pwerless to stop them :paranoid

Just peaked at my 401k expecting to be driven to drink but it looks like it is holding it's own at the moment. Of course I transfered some into the company stock so as to take advantage of the cash buy out of the company I work for. Stock has been steady and I'll make some retirement $$$ when the deal goes through. I think...

Holy shtein.

If the bailout/rescue package actually buffered the drop, can you even imagine if it hadn't passed?

Yet still $3.20 a gallon.  Amazing.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

2.90 here and falling.  it should be 2.40 in two weeks, and if it continues might be time to buy a hummer on the cheap :)

I heard something about OPEC freezing prices so basically we will not see them drop at the pump.

I recently bought a home in Charles Village.

Now it's named one of the top ten U.S. neighborhoods by the American Planning Association

So Paulson comes up with a terrible plan, but Congress agrees that something has to be done so they adopt it.
Several European Nations openly declare that the bailout details are terrible and *gasp* actually take their time with concocting their own plan.
The Markets bottom out in response to Paulson's brainstorm.
The Europeans finally unveil their plan.
Paulson changes his plan to match what the Europeans are doing.
Markets surge.

Who put these iceholes in charge of my country?
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.
