I had some REAL conservative stuff in the IRA accounts last year, even boring CD's. As they matured, I got talked into getting back in, as the market was doing better.

I should have gone with my GUT feeling and continued on the path I had started. It's going to take a long time to recoup our losses, if we ever do.

Lesson learned. Listen to my gut!

 

I hear you, Lainey.

the first part is divided into three parts the last being the federal reserve and all the BS that comes with it.

The addendum deals mainly with our monetary system.

We've been lied to enough.

 

Lainey,

You should always listen to your own gut and follow your own instincts. The market "experts" aren't any smarter than you are or any better at it than you are.

You have enough experience and knowledge, and you're smart enough to make up your own mind.

The first and most important thing is to feel comfortable with what you invest in. Follow your own instincts.

 

I'm sure a lot of folks are in my boat, John.

I did listen to my gut when we had some extra non IRA cash to play with and I stayed with a CD from ING. Not sorry about that decision at all.

Thanks Rob....we do learn from our mistakes. Or at least I hope I do.

 

So AIG has managed burn through the 87 Billion they got a few weeks ago.
They are now asking for another 37 Billion

Coupled with the revelations of the half million dollar corporate retreat, it is difficult not to just go to the visceral response of "tough let em fail."

 

What does your sig line mean?
