I just feel pretty calm about it all. <BR/>Gas just dropped to 3.19 and that seemed like a bargin too. I guess it is better than the 4.00 we paid all summer.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715618411080540064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585622042284277893.post-91598696831395392262008-10-11T10:12:00.000-04:002008-10-11T10:12:00.000-04:00Can I bring my friends Ben and Jerry?Can I bring my friends Ben and Jerry?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292600488274565276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585622042284277893.post-54567319582362047282008-10-11T09:38:00.000-04:002008-10-11T09:38:00.000-04:00Gas was $2.99 on 146!

Received statements from my investments, tax sheltered annuity, and bond funds and certainly cringed. This has happened before but not as drastic, and it will go up again, but I hope I don't lose all my retirement before this happens. Not sure what to do but don't want to do anything drastically. A friend's sister put all hers into cash and now doesn't know what to do with it. It is not a fun time,that's for sure. And I agree that those who caused it should be held totally responsible and get a grip.shirlgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094823128199841249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585622042284277893.post-25978992778246778342008-10-11T08:05:00.000-04:002008-10-11T08:05:00.000-04:00HEY.

This is not a time to panic and if played right could be a time to make a fortune by buying under-valued stocks. <BR/>We all need to play the long game and hold our breath for the short-term.ChefTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523319694708033654noreply@blogger.com
