I wonder if Johnson & Johnson is fairing as well as it is because of the rush to buy Band Aids? There is a lot of bleeding going on!

Rick, I would appreciate any of those fund recommendations.

Wow! Here we go again! It is getting downright scary to invest in anything other than Under The Mattress. Try to sock a little away and it goes bye-bye it seems. Yeah, it is a buying opportunity they say. The last time I bought BAC at 12 when they said that..it is now 6. Most all know I have a monthly rant. That was it for this month.

BAC is really something else. I don't know what to say about them, it wouldn't be at all nice anyway, so I won't say anything at all.

I totally understand, Dwayne, it's a mess.

Funny thing...I saw a new post and started reading the thread. Turns out my computer has logged me out, so the post was from 9/15/2008. The market was behaving just the same as it is now! I feel for you Dwayne. I had been watching RCL for a while and told my FA to buy in when the stock hit thirty. It seemed like it would never happen...I got my shares...and it's been toying with 23 ever since. I'll just have to keep taking the 100 dollar OBC until I get my money back. THat's sound logic right?
Actually we're very lucky. We put a big chunk into a 'prime plus 6' annuity.

I would be thrilled with prime + 6 in this environment.

Be patient with that RCL Marsha; one day you'll be singing "Happy Days Are Here Again."

I bought RCL at around $6, just for the OBC. I was wishing I'd bought more when it got to almost $50 earlier this year, but now am happy I did not buy more than the 100 original shares.

We have a couple of annuities. It's actually where most of our money is. We have very little stock although I complain about it almost every day it seems.

The only stock I ever owned was Eastern AirLines and we all know how that went
