Yes might as well celebrate now because the Global Depression is what awaits us in 2009. 🙁Sorry to be a bummer. 🙂
You have to think positive. My mantra is double digit stock returns. I have to make money on the Citi stock I just bought a few weeks ago, it has nowhere to go but up. I would have never believed I could get blue chip stock at $5 a share.
If I had the extra money, I would buy gold instead of stocks. I just don't trust the Stock Market. You entrust your money to a bunch of crooks to make you more money, but all they end up doing is manipulating the markets for themselves and taking the little investors out of the game in the end. Wall Street is just one big legalized Ponzi scheme if you ask me, and you didn't. 🙂
I don't think I am going to get rich though. I only have 36 ounces, even at $290 an ounce I only made so much money bailing hay and cutting wood and I still had to party. It was high school after all. I would like to be like Scrooge McDuck right now and have a pool full of it.
