I think you should take loans on your $20 million in real estate and buy Fountain stock :evilb:

sy goldberg 10-10-2008 08:59 AM

Another Depressing Thought !
 
I'll be 88 years old in 2025 and I can't imagine what that's going to be like.I just spoke with the baker who's doing my birthday cake and he told me that he had to put VIAGRA in the candles.:evilb::evilb:

Yeah it's bad out there. I work in the financial industry and its scary what's going on right now. I'm only 28, so holding steady should should pay off for me in the long run (I actually up'd my 401k contributions 3 months ago), but it's got to hurt if you are anywhere near retirement. I'm just hoping that I have a job in the next coming months.

I'm down 100K just this year. When it was good it was REAL good. But when it got bad.........

C_Spray 10-10-2008 10:41 AM

It's not really "gone" until you sell it (or if one of the companies you own goes out of business). It's scary right now, but I wish I had a mess of cash ready for when it starts to recover. Bad news for short-term or ready-to-retire investors, for sure.

DonziChick 10-10-2008 11:31 AM

Luckily I'm young enough I should have time to build my retirement back up. Unfortunately my dad wanted to retire next year and he's lost quite a bit. It's not good...
