Hi Dear Donnie,
Re...emotional...
Well actually I'm much much better. I finally went to a counselor last week and will go for a few weeks to learn to look at all those losses and moron-ness differently.
So you think investing at these levels is ok?
Hmmm...everyone has his/her own ideas...so hard to know really it takes predicting which most of us have proven we are awful at.
I am not really doing anything anymore: bought 100 shares of GOLD today...that's the name of the stock!!!! It's a low cost one. Still have 100 shares of orcl and sunw and 500 of afl with covered calls on the afl but other than that, I have the Motorola bonds which pay 6 3/4 % for the next five years...unless they go up in value and I sell them...and then give me my principle back. And cash.
the cash is waiting until I feel confident that it's ok to buy stuff again.
When I do, and it may be a looooooooong time I'll probably buy a little of a Vanguard S%P 500 index fund, a little of oooooold companies like G.E and a lot of tech.
But we'll see.
Talk to you soon!
