Investing 102

[SSLance]

As long as this is on the news 24/7, we aren't at the the bottom. Powder staying dry here...

In 2008 we were heavily into High Yield Bond funds and got hammered relentlessly. I can still remember the feeling of just getting kicked in the stomach continually for doing nothing wrong. It soured me horribly on the market as a whole and it took a lot of prodding by GW and you guys to get me back in.

This time around, I'm much more confident in our choices and see the forest through the trees so to speak.

I'm more concerned about the safety of ourselves (and others mainly). Have 3 sets of friends and relatives with plane tickets bought to go somewhere that are heavily considering their options. One is a couple in their late 70s leaving on a 6 week (bucketlist) trip to Australia next week. Those are the HARD decisions that will have to be made.
