well you get the idea
"3:39pm:George Bush tried to calm the panic. He announced steps to root out fraud in the markets and promises "aggressive" global action. "We are sending out an unmistakable signal that we are in this together and we will come through this together," he said. He insisted that the US economy is "resilient". But, on the markets the immediate reaction to his brief speech was negative. The Dow and FTSE were lower after he finished."

His first response to Katrina was to root out fraud as well (insurance, in that case).

I could have sold my stocks a couple weeks ago and bought back in much lower, instead of sticking to that "leave it in for the long term" old man schtick. Hindsight is a bitch. Let's just hope nothing I own goes bankrupt.
― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:02 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, now I'm starting to worry too. I am of the "own it and never touch it" school but this is getting scary.
― Neotropical pygmy squirrel, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I should have at least sold my smaller stocks and put everything into solid too-big-to-fail companies. Again, hindsight is a bitch.

Anything that bounces right back I just don't trust. A V shaped bottom seems something to steer clear of to me

It's really fucked up that someone like me who's poo-poo'ed 401Ks and decided to save (with partial success) for a Roth IRA is actually in a BETTER position right now than most who have gone with more standard savings approaches.

Mackro -- you do your Roth contributions yearly?

Either that or one instance of my paranoia has actually paid off for once.

xp - lol, I haven't gotten to the minimum amount to start one yet but I'm close.
― obamaloverholeinyohead (Mackro Mackro), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link
and after that, I would plan to contribute at least yearly to it (if allowed to contribute more often than yearly)

I thought Roth IRA caps were based on dollar amounts?
Anyway, my meager 401K is probably putting the bit it's already spit back in its mouth to spit it even farther. Good thing I don't save money!
