I'm sticking it out. Holding fast. It's been a bad year since last October, but think of the money to be made when the market turns, after Hussein Obama goes down to defeat.

This $hit is scary. The feds were printing money today and I am not sure we are near the bottom.

GE sure looks nice at $23 or so for the folks who like to gamble.

I am just not opening any retirement or other such statements when they come in the mail. I will just file them away. No use freaking myself out.

Back in March '08, took a flier on a fund:

FBRSX.....FBR Small Cap Financial

The fund was down 24% since Oct. '07.

Today, considereing performance over the past 3 months, all my other funds are down ranging from -6% to -26%.

FBRSX is UP 9.94%. :D

Hey, there is a ban on short selling on a quadruple whitching friday. So how much of this today is real or not remains to be seen. Shorts are going nuts having to cover short positions by buying back. I mean shorts are shooting themselves in the head with losses, really unfairly but I don't like shorts anyway and normally would supply bullets.
