Unkie Trunkie, why isn't the fact that I bought 30k worth of stock this morning a good thing? Fark if i were to sell right now I'm up 5k
Raj, stop being a douchetard. You're retorting to Raymo under the guise of asking me a question. That said, $30K, even with what I'm conjecturing is your annual household income, is still a fair amount of exposure. I should only hope that you're distributing that amongst quite a few equities.

I do think being skittish and conservative () and heading to Treasury notes is lame. . . However, I'd only head for equities with substantial cash holdings and/or well rated blue-chips.

. . . I'm also tempted to look into some proven Real Estate Funds; more than likely, the managers will be going on a buying spree in 24 months, but could start asset acquisitions within the next 6. . .

Raj and I are young enough where this isn't really an economic catastrophe; just a fire sale on blue chips and penny stocks.

My apologies to you and Raj. My post was really tongue in cheek although I'm sure it wasn't all that clear.

Believe it or not, I'm holding on to what I've got and if I can come up with a little extra scratch there's a few things I'd like to be buying too.

Wait a minute - what was I thinking? There's no apologizing in the .

If you apologize for apologizeing then that's double punishment, so we'll take $600 in Euros.

kthxbye.

He wasn't apologizing, he was belatedly figuring things out. Yes, in a fundamental way it's the same gaffe, but technically, it's not.

so we'll take $600 in Euros.
No we won't Raj. The original penance was to have Raymo give $300 worth of Euros to a local church.

The new penance is to give $600 worth of Euros to a local junkie.

Raj, you'll be forced to videotape the trade. If you run away fast, I'll understand.

Homeless junkies are a little upset when you give them foreign currency. . .

Daddy likes to PIITB when he's drunk.

Mommy cries because you're acting like a brat. Daddy drinks because you're acting like a brat.

You're acting like a brat because Mommy cries all day and Daddy drinks all day.

My advice? Start drinking with Daddy.
