This is what keeps us going--our sense of humor--it's what makes this country so great. Just remember, the stock market is a very good long term investment tool--over fifteen years you can average more than 10%. It's the short term that can get ya. Diversify your money (spread it out over several accounts in different industries you understand at 1-3 institutions, and only have about 50-60% in stocks, 30-40% in bonds, and 10-20% cash if you're under 50 years old usually, and you can ride it out for a couple of decades. Buy reverse ETFs to hedge against the stocks and you'll be riding up and down at the same time, offsetting your returns. It's not easy, but you've got to have a long term strategy on companies that have true value. If you've lost recently, don't panic, you can rebuild over time. If you're over 50, well, I suggest you take some vitamins and start exercising so you can keep working to rebuild! Chin up, people! Great list!

You've got an idea for a whole new dictionary there ! It's good to see bankers eating some humble pie for once after the mess they've made of the economy, while lecturing us all about the need for prudence ! Lol very funny.

They sure deserved it. Now if only someone could post their home address online I think a few hard working tax payers would like to go personally congratulate them.
