Is it me or this board seems kinda dead....

Maybe it's the tanking stock market that has everyone's mind occupied. I've lost enough $$$ last few days to pay for a 6 series but hey, money is not everything. Gotta be thankful for health, family and friends.

Cheers to everyone and have a nice weekend!

Next time post things like this in the Pit, this has nothing to do with 8th gens.

It was until you just brought it back to life!!! Thanks!

Nah man, it's not just you. Everyone's off to Auto Zone to buy-up all the chrome molding/trim... :D

Just remember, big losses potentially lead to bigger gains if you're patient/consistent/conservative/cool. . .

I'd say so, as this board is pretty active IMO.
I lost several 6 series myself a while ago, but never again. Money is made WORKING, not gambling IMO. And in the long term we're ALL DEAD:D. Imagine if you invested 'long term', and needed your money now:dunno:? But yes, I can sympathize with market loosers big time, since I lost real money, not previous gains. Too conservative for the stock market, I guess. Good evening.

Real estate, FTW! :cool:

(I don't mean ARM loans, over-extending home-equity, flipping properties, speculative land-grabs, zero down mortages, etc'... I mean being a slum-lord to section-8 recipients as the gov't pays you, all the while building long-term equity)

Hahah yeah (case in point with us last night!!) :thmsup:

I feel as if even though i am still somewhat new here i am one of the few posting everywhere keeping things going with the others who contribute alot ..
I guess I can't help being obsessed :nuts:

I feel bad though ever since i talked to my grams the other night and heard her saying she was obsessed with watching the market every day to see the changes with her retirement money ...

with tanking economy i've eased up on my spending for the car........

Ugh....yeah....lost enough money to buy another Tundra......poor IRA...poor poor IRA....


Meh...that's why they are called long term investments :) I just invested my entire 08 contribution yesterday......

Invest in the low with big gains in the future. Its how millionaires are made......

Real estate, FTW! :cool:
I hope you're a prophet man, because that's exactly what I'm doing:D. Hope it doesn't backfire on me, but at this point, rather have it in houses than above the FDIC insurance ceiling.

By the way, about the 'long term' of the market, my 2 daughters have 'growth funds' (those are the only ones I haven't touched), one 17 years old, the other 15, and BOTH are BELOW the initial investment. And it's a pretty well known fund. Yes, people can make a lot of money in the stock market, and some do, but it's the great minority IMO; you really need to know what you're doing, and have the stomach (and finances) for that risk. Most investors thought of the market as a money tree, and risked way more than they should have, with the obvious consequences when things go wrong. Take care.

The stock market & market-capitalization is perhaps the biggest legal racket known to man.

All it is in the long-run is a very convoluted, elaborate, complex/advanced, and refined Ponzi scheme. . .

I'm too scared to look at my 401k. Oh well...I'm only 26. it won't stay like this forever. At least I'm looking at the bright side. lol

im 25 and i am with you on this one, i dont think it will stay like this forever. but i did take a look at my 401k the other day and man...:bawl:...almost wish i hadnt. :thumbsdow such a bad return rate, its almost kinda hard to keep looking on the bright side.

I'm riding this one out, too. FTW in the long term. My broker is buying tons of dirt cheap stock right now while everything is in the toilet.

I'm too scared to look at my 401k. Oh well...I'm only 26. it won't stay like this forever. At least I'm looking at the bright side. lolx3. I'm 24 and it totally ****s seeing my account down 4 grand. But like you said, it won't stay like this forever. Buy while its low (that is, if you have a feeling its going to bottom out! lol)

gotta adjust some of my stuff for long term benefits. Just spending a bot more wisely at the moment, good thing is gas is down to 2.89 for reg here.:nuts:

Must be nice...still $3.55 up here, and the refineries are 25 miles down the road! Total BS!

The board dead? Sheesh....I'm barely able to keep up with the requests in my PM box!:dunno:

Maybe 8th gen-ers have a short attention span.:D

It's gonna get a lot worse, and it's gonna be bad longer, than compared w/ the past.

However, if you're in it for the long-term & your relatively diversified... you'll be a-o.k.

If you're AARP-age, or soon-to-be... hmmm, I really feel for you (as for my parents, sighhh)!
... Maybe 8th gen-ers have a short attention span.:D... or they've run out of things to add the chrome molding/trim to! :D

they need to go to wal-mart to get spinners..... :nuts:

they need to go to wal-mart to get spinners..... :nuts:

Don't give anyone any ideas! :lmao:

like the plastic coin holder, and plastic cup holder.....

oooo, don't forget about those "mood lights" that burn up your alternator.... naughty:
