First of all, I'm kidding about that; money is very good. I just wish I had that kind of mentality, and I'm sure many Americans wish they did too, especially now, because, well, no one has any.
The Dow dropped 500 points on Monday. Five hundred. Holy crap. That is a lot. But I am reassured, the fundamentals of our economy are fine. And John McCain never lies. After all, for 5 1/2 years, he didn't have a home or kitchen table. (Ok, that's not a lie, as much as it is a "I'm not going to answer your question.")
But seriously, it's a good thing I don't have stocks. I don't know nearly enough, or anything at all, about the stock market. All I know is that if it goes up it's good, and if it goes down it's bad. And if it goes down this much, we're screwed.
I was a little optimistic after it went up 114 on Tuesday, but lost all optimism when it dropped 450 today.
I wonder how the European stocks are. Or Chinese. Or Canadian. Or Mexican (couldn't be any worse, could it?). Maybe I'll just move there. Nah.
One day we will laugh at all this though, just like when we watch those Great Depression videos in history class. (I apologize if I offended any elderly person who lived through the Depression. I do wonder, though, how you are reading this, especially since you probably can't use a computer. Oh did I offend you again? Deal with it this time.) We just won't laugh about it today, or tomorrow, or probably even the next day (especially since the market is closed on Saturdays), or when the Dow his zero, which at this pace is only about 24 days.
