I’m (as you may know) expecting a war, so commodities are king in my tinfoil world.

>None of this means we can’t get there… we can keep trying till we get it right.
LOL

Is there an instinct to screw up?

haven’t seen you around in awhile.

How’s your portfolio doing? Hope you’re staying retired 🙂

I have two very conflicting inner voices: one is panicky, the other “voice of reason”. The reality will probably be something in between.

There was a poll on some local radio in Mid-West. 60%+ of people said they weren’t selling their stocks and plan to hold through the downturn, another 15% didn’t have any stocks to begin with. So it’s really not that bad, but TV as usual over-dramatizes it.

It’s amazing that the entire worldwide economy is driven by emotion-based decisions. With apologies to Rudyard Kipling, “If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs,” you’ll be able to hang onto that pension, 401(k), IRA, and what have you, “my son.”
