"Congress:" The Opposite Of...?

Prosperity, as it turns out. Didn't Mark Twain first posit this?

No surprise at all. I dumped my entire 401k in cash and cash equivalents when the DemCong took over in 2007, when the Dow was at about 13,000. Now I am slowing buying my way back in.

Sell high, buy low. What can I say, I'm an economics geek, too.

If only Congress would stop meddling I'd bet both you and your 401K would feel better.; May 10, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Roberta X said...: A four-oh-what? Haven't get one; hourly didn't get them until last year, after I bought a house and locked myself into a budget with no real wiggle room; not that that's looked like such a bad idea so far, as most members lost money. We have a kind of weak pension, too; I'm figuring on having to trap pigeons in my old age.; May 10, 2009 at 10:46 PM
