Might I lose my $100 that I have purchased? Yes. But I am in it for the long haul and unless something like a winning lottry ticket come my way, wont retire for another 35-30 years. If my 1500 shares rise back to $70, it is a huge payoff. I use an online trading platform with very cheap costs-per-trade. <BR/><BR/>I am refusing to participate in this recession and will make the most of it.<BR/>I am refusing to participate inthe recessionRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457956739752722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-91516160805767348022008-11-12T18:21:00.000-05:002008-11-12T18:21:00.000-05:00mustang: Congress only cares when lots of people r...mustang: Congress only cares when lots of people respond to an issue.
