Juno is up a buck off the lows quote.yahoo.com Still, that is only $1000 (I only had a little over a thousand shares), so we are not talking about a lot of money. Of course the $17k I had in Juno is in biotechs that have dropped, so the swing is a few grand. Should not have sold Juno perhaps, but it was like watching water come to boil. Probably the bigger question is why not borrow money now? I don't know what I would spend it on is the answer. Increased consumption doesn't buy happiness, and a second home is just something you have to drive to and pay taxes on. I wouldn't mind having a yurt on USFS land, that would be cool--if you had a spot that wouldn't get vandalized. I wont get into questions of increasing my carbon footprint tonight--but clearly some people feel that is reason enough to limit consumption.
