All the chitbums who were greedy either in the banking,wall street,real estate or mortgage loan industries can all go to hell for all I care, screw em all.
When will this country ever learn?

I never did or never want my 401K or retirement to grow too rapidly, I'd rather see it grow steady, I can live without the huge up and down swings.
Slip, you sure have my sympathy - my wife and I say every day how happy we are that we finally had to euthanize our small business - even though it hurt - a couple of years ago - and we had done well with it.

I look at small businesses now and given the state of the economy, it's gotta be a real tough row to hoe -

For a guy to work hard and have to struggle is a bitter pill when you hear how those slime-balls took the money and ran like thieves in the night without any remorse.

It's small consolation but I've got a feeling they're eventually gonna get theirs the way things are looking.

In the meanwhile try to duck and cover as best you can til this bull**** rolls over us - sooner or later we'll pop back out the other side - hopefully it'll be sooner.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
