A New Retirement Plan

This is the answer!!!


If you had purchased $1000.00 of AIG stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $56.91.

With Washington Mutual, you would have $120.36 left of the original
$1000.

With 'Fannie Mae'(FNM), you would have $11.34 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Lehman Bros one year ago it would now
be almost worthless; less than $0.86.

If you had purchased RH Donelley, you would have $45.69 left.

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund you
would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

On the other hand, if you had been a CEO of one of these companies, you would have made half a billion and would have been handed a 10 million dollar bonus as you got fired (a bonus paid for by tax-payer dollars). This is called the 401-cognac plan.

I am probably MORE disgusted by the bailout than you are Karlo.
My feeling is that the Government intervention will cause a more trouble than even the corrupt CEO's.

Because of FDR, the Depression lasted at least twice as long as it would have otherwise,the only thing that ended it when it did under the policies extant under FDR was WW2 ; and we'd be a lot less socialistic than we are today.

The Free Market DOES work, Govt's. role SHOULD merely to be the arbiter of conflict between parties, NOT to be a direct participant. THAT is the way the Founders set it up, and it worked well up until the social engineers came into power and started to foul up the works.
The current crises is a fine example. GOV. REQUIRED lenders to provide loans to people that were not qualified for them (greaT VOTE-GETTING POLICY!)and backed up the loans with public money..and that worked until the number of defaulters became larger than the banks' ability to absorb the losses and called on the gov. guarentee in amounts that could no longer be hidden under Fanny and Freddy's cooked books.

We should just let the market adjust itself; ride out the year or so rough spot, and then remember to not go that route again.

How I have not come across this fabulous website is beyond me bc I have been previously saying/thinking the distinct comments stated on here for years. I just was going to add a excellent tidbit proving such a jackass living in AZ could make you if you end up constantly surrounded simply by jackasses. As someone before described the application “hateful and angry”. Not which i can blame these individuals. Anyway, while on vacation to WA we were down the middle of the city taking pics of merely one another when several teenage boys came around me asking as long as they could take all of our picture. Immediately my brain were “this guys gonna try to steal my damn camera”. Logical way of thinking right? No, really not. Only if you will be used to ghetto ARIZONA apparently. We went around Seattle (waaaaay bigger than our little AZ town) and do not once and Get real ONCE had another person be unfriendly. Multiple people developing to be helpful/start talking to total strangers/smiling simply because walk by. Actually ashamed at can easily behaved the first few days up there eyeing people throughout like they were close to something and commonly a bitch. I didn’t realize the correct way stand-offish I’ve grown to be. You’d think I JUST was from Harlem Ny not a dinky suburb. Now programs AZ and into my permanent frown. Sigh.
