...TJ...if you got hit that hard, it cannot feel sorry for ya. I cannot believe how many retired people or near retired people still deep in the market! I cannot feel sorry for anyone who played in this irrational market. Greed. Plain and simple. And people have not been investing rationally for well over a decade. I got out in 98 and never looked back...very nice gain it was.

Same thing with the housing market...anyone who could not see that coming musta been blind, or stupid. Whne you see people living off of day trading or flipping houses, if that isn't a sign, well then you should not be incesting in anything.

Well, TJ, we live and we learn, don't we? By the way I read your other post...very nice....did you ever think your current condition ma yperhaps have something to do with karma? I have. ;0)

Will be thinking of you while I am down there next reach TJ. But not naked of course. EEEWWW. Perish that thought. Don't worry, I will enjoy a red stripe in your honor and for a good sturdy laugh.

I hope you can find some peace there TJ...but it seems that will be up to you. Gotta run...off to the office but gotta stop at Walmart first. Irie!
