:donut: and lurkers. Once again I leave you kids alone for the day yesterday, and look what happened. No ponies for you guys:rofl-

I feel ok for the moment. My 403B is moderate (cash at 4% interest, indexed funds, ant the risky stuff is in emerging overseas markets. My shiny new Roth is collecting cash and moderately aggressive in good sectors at the moment so a down turn doesn't bother me too much because I see these sectors growing. The nice thing is this site has been watching this storm develop for a while. It is a bit like predicting a hurricane. You can see the colour and quality of the surf change, the sunrises and sunsets change in colour, and the winds pick up-but you never know when and where it will strike. Having gone through them before, I can say that you should always be alert to your investments. I worried 6 months ago and again when I opened my Roth-so I was ok and will be fine today. Never take your eye off that ball, and sadly most Americans do.

Now, I caught the midnight showing of the new Simpsons movie. I highly recommend that if you have ever watched the Simpsons-do take this one in, esp. this weekend. I laughed so hard-and so did my daughter. Sad to say-we spent many a quality family time watching (and discussing) the Simpsons. We have been warped I think. It will be a great antidote to a bad week in the market. First movie I have seen in a while that the audience broke out into an applause when it ended. There are so many jokes, I could see it again and still miss some.

Thanks to all those that contribute to this thread with their valuable info.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
