lizzie, i'm okay really. now the question is why you resorted to that kind of flame in the face of a simple question? you are a head in the sand investor, ignoring REAL costs. your results will reflect that carelessness.

Dear Lizzie: while you and I apparently dont agree on Bush I agree on Real Estate. The only thing that doesnt keep me from jumping out the window with these depressed stock prices is the fact that when I retired I split half my investable funds between income securities and R/E. Thank GOD, real estate has gone through the roof, so while I have taken it on the ear in my equity investments my overall net worth is not that much changed due to vast increases in R/E values. Incidentally, I wasnt TOO STUPID as I put my ENTIRE IRA into Money Markets BEFORE the market crash and havent lost a dime there, although havent made much either ever since. JDN ps: My fixed income investments mentioned above OUTSIDE the IRA are in those preferred securities. Averaging over 8% all in Investment grade securities. I mention this not to brag but to let those of you know that are in boats like mine that you can do better than 1-2% interest
