So what's the story on purchasing it at 26.95? Looking back at the moment you bought it, what were the main reasons behind it?
I didn't know anything about stocks at the time (and I don't know much more now), but we got a discounted purchase price, so I thought I was getting "free money." Little did I know....

Mine is down 30%. Sold off everything when the DJ was 8500. Wish I would have wised up and sold a long time ago. Welcome to a old school savings account. When the market hit around 5000 Will start looking for some for some stocks to buy. Even though I think the market will go much lower.

Market is still going down. If you 'really' want to trade some of your USD for shares now, try ASX (Australian stock market). Fairly resilient, and a lot of their blue chips will be the first to bounce back. Large mining companies like Rio Tinto and BHP will be the first to surge back up come 2010.
I'm +15% from ASX shares, bought in about 4 months ago, mostly resources stocks.
And to the guy above me, you 'really' think Obama created this mess in 7 weeks? It was Bush and Clinton who let the financial sector foxes rule the hen house when they removed financial sector regulations at the behest of lobbyists. Bush ran up 5.7 trillion in debt, large chunks of that went into Iraq war (for what purpose other than filling Haliburton coffers I don't know).
The free marketers, greedy houseflippers, bankers and investors created this mess. You blaming the new president after 7 weeks shows an astounding level of naivety.

The government did their absolute best to pump the market today.
- Citigroup is running at a profit for the first two months of the year (under what special circumstances, not writing down assets?)
- Pelosi talks about a second stimulus package
- Bernanke announces he believes the recession will end this year
- Barney Frank talks about bringing back the uptick rule and changing the rules for mark to market
