OK, OK, OK!! Which one of you highrollers is it that keeps selling off his stock about the time my retirement account begins to look like it might recover? /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif

Chuck,

I'm not a highroller. /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif My retirement and my childrens education has been dwindling quickly.

Just take a look at WorldCom (pity me, I have the fine distinction of being an employee of this fine example of current technology companies). /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

There are others.... what the hedouble-hockey sticks is going on!! /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif Looks like I'll be able to retire when I'm 85 now.... /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

Doesn't it seem like every time the Dow gets to about 9900 it hits the can again? Almost as if a bunch of computer traders have that set as a sell flag. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!! I gotta quit looking at those numbers./w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif I think I need to stay away from the Netscape homepage.

Kinds hard to believe that one company can play such a role in stock market also affect retirements /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Sure not me I got out awhile ago.

I don't "play" the market and never have. But my retirement program, like many others, is partly a broad based mutual fund. I'll be in it for more than ten additional years. Most of the experts still say the market will outperform most other investments over that long a time period, but the roller coaster we're on now will give you indigestion if you watch it too much.

Terry, I think we'll be closer to 95 before we get to retire

hey, they could offer us some more of that good stock and you can buy a whole lot more with your 401k right now..finally 5% that goes a long way

If you want to feel better, just look at the williams stock and realize that we could still be owned by them. At least that always makes me feel better.
