Clap Harder
filed under: Stuff to worry aboutI take my eye off the ball for ONE SECOND, I spend ONE MORNING feeling like maybe the fallout from the fiscal meltdown might not be so terrible, and what happens? Third largest stock meltdown (by points) in history, and world markets crater 8-12% overnight. Now DOW futures are off 360+ before the open.
Tinkerbell is flickering. Clap if you believe in fairies.

Posted by: Procrastimom at October 10, 2008 11:14 AMI don't know about you, but I've decided to run up a lot of debt and buy stocks, the time just feels right. I just write myself checks from my AmEx account, and buy stock with it, figuring I'm buying at historic lows, which will eventually gain and pay back, outpacing any interest I've had to pay back. Who's with me? Do it while you still have credit to tap.
