Stock market anyone?
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:48:36 pm »

Every morning, Matt and I spend 20 minutes or so talking about work, the projects we're working on, the problems, the new possibilities.  We usually spend about 20 or 30 seconds on the stock market.  He gives me bad tips.  I give him good ones.  It works out about even.  I lose about as much as he does.

Lately, I'm wondering if I should be giving any advice, even if it's good.

Mr. Paulson, will you please just do the job and not share the awful details?

What's the old saying?  Anybody who likes politics or sausage should never watch them being made.  Let's add economics to the stew.

There was an article today on "Winners in the Downturn" (not the exact title, I can't remember it exactly or find it, unfortunately).
One of the top performers was a mutual fund type thingy for selling QQQ short! Up 40 or 60% YTD.

Is It Time To Buy Now?

What Happens To A 401K when a company goes under like "Goodies", "Linens And Things" or "Circuit City"?

I guess (I am not sure) it goes down the tubes along with the saved retirement money.

Thats one of the thing I don't like about the 401K
