    Feeling better, m'dear?

    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.

    We're from the government, and we're here to help.

    Trouble sleeping?

    Hope you feel signs of being on the mend when you wake up this morning.

    I do feel better. Not a hundred percent, but better.

    Glad to hear you're feeling better.

    That's a heck of an article.

    Glad you feel better!

    If only Congress would stop meddling I'd bet both you and your 401K would feel better.

    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.
