What up Greg..

Sorry I missed you at Infineon.

My .02 cents is that people need to be invested and not scared.. So much gloom and doom in the news has people on the sidelines..

When the market dropped a few months ago, I had friends selling( at the bottom), and shifting things around. I just left my money on the plan that I have set and rode it out.

So what benefit did I get for riding it out ? I am paying cash for my 2008 Sierra with 21K miles on it with my profit from the last few months. Had I sold, I would have lost all that upswing...So my balance is still great, and I pick up my truck tomorrow..

So, long term, Investing is king, even though some months suck. in the end, it is better to own stocks, etc..., than to sit on the sidelines.
