I hurt in so many ways though, breathing in that deep might cause more pain LOL.

Full front end replacement on my riding mower yesterday.

I hurt everywhere.

Look at it this way: The DJIA has risen over 300 points this morning.....

It’s technically true.

Market issues?

I bet your phone and e-mailing fingers are getting a huge work out today.

Enjoy the painful screams of people who think they are newly poor.

I just calculated that I have lost more in the market in the past week than I MADE my first 2 years out of college (albeit rough years). First world problem? Maybe.

And the sad part is I’m still handily beating the market. Yay! I’m the best at making bad choices!

I refuse to look. I don’t want to know. Doing the math in a downtime is how you get an aneurysm.

I invested through the pain in 99-00, 2001, 08-09, and now this...same basic trends and freakouts, I just have a lot more at stake now.

I really want to find a buying opportunity in this, but the timing and all the moving parts (notably the Fed’s artificial propping) have me more petrified than usual...

I can't give any advice online, but I'll just say this: do NOT panic.

Right now, quite a bit more than 300.

I never do. But let’s just say it’s a good thing my wife lets me run our investments 100% or they would have all been sold by now :D

I made most of my calls on Friday. We saw this coming from a mile away. Today, I've had some pleasant return calls, though. Literally pleasant.

Kicking? Naw naw naw. Go get an axe or a chainsaw or something. Stay in character for crying out loud.

Bastard. Although, to be fair, I was in the Bahamas when the major decline in 2008 occurred.

I already hacked up my business partner. What else is there to do?

Chainsaw down a flight of stairs sounds like the next best course of action.

Well, there are a few bond funds on my screen that are green.

I think everyone except the news outlets has seen this coming for awhile. It was just a matter of when. Once China went tits up the when was answered.

I don’t think China is permanently “tits up”. They got their head rattled, though, that's for sure.

“And, lo, upon the beats return from holiday there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes. The people turned to the streets ashen and dressed in sackcloth, for their seemingly omnipotent deity had dared to show its mortality.”

- Excerpt from the first book of Rob: Chapter 2 (I am a commoner and cannot understand the ways of the rich)

lol, dude no shame in your game remember this is a capitalist society, but I would just say find some way, whether monetarily or otherwise, to give something back.

Oh yeah. I’ve helped run three nonprofits in the past few years. I’ll be trying to hop on another nonprofit board in the next couple of months.

Successful people that do not give either their time or money are nothing but leaches sucking the life from society.

You know my original post was just meant to be funny right? Because of how our society worships wealth, even if achieved through insidious actions.

That’s awesome, I ought to put you in touch with my buddy trying to start one up for transitioning military veterans (re. Afghan/Iraq war combat vets who cannot figure out how to make that next step). We face struggles such as: companies invalidating our service and not placing us in positions or jobs, combat injured unable to receive life insurance, etc.

Keep doing you though, because if smart/capable people are not doing what they are best or good at then other people are not as easily able to do what they do.

Oh yeah, nothing is permanent, except maybe Greece that’s going to be a perpetual state of cluster fuck for at least a few decades.
