I'm all in favor (even if it for bad reasons) of a sudden strengthening of the dollar against the Euro. At least for the next 2 weeks.

I'm kind of bummed because I still have money in my French account. Looks like I'll be leaving it there for a little while longer.

Weeeeee


Everybody enjoying their roller coaster ride?

I'm afraid to look at my small portfolio. I'm gonna end up owing them money. :eek:

Roller coaster ride would imply that there are ascensions as well. Right now this is Magic Mountain Goliath on Steroids.

I'm actually fairing the coaster ride very well, Gary's 401k has taken a huge dive though. I was scared to open my Schwab statement but it actualy looks really good surprisingly! It looks like I should be in charge of the family portfolios!!

Yeech, I looked and it upset my stomach. I'm going back into avoidance mode (and pay strict attention at the 401(k) and retirement meeting next week.

Retirement? I will probably drop dead at my desk, filing just one more patent application, breathing my last as I click submit to the USPTO.

I'm actually trying to figure out the ING ShareBuilder.

I don't understand the different transactions costs. But I figure with stock so low it's not a bad time to jump in with a little money. My friend spent $300 amongst Fannie, Freddie and Sallie at 80 cents a share.

My etrade account has been decimated more by etrade's fees than by the market. But I'm thinking I may pick up some southwest airlines shares while the market's tanking. Airline stocks are risky, as ever, but LUV runs a pretty good business. We'll see. I haven't put the buy order in yet.

Once again, the sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!
