| Was anyone here on DU smart enough to invest in oil stocks in 2000? |
|
We should have seen this coming when Bush first took office. Oh well.

| 3. not in 2000, but I bought an energy fund |
|
a few years ago that's really doing well. Should I feel guilty profiting off of *? I'd rather the fund did badly & * was impeached, but we are where we are.

I had money in oil for awhile. However, with the increasing deaths in Iraq, etc. I found I could barely look myself in the mirror. So, I sold at a slight profit and walked away completely from the stock market. I'm now in CDs and I-bonds and money market savings account, all insured investments.
At least I don't feel like I am contributing to it now, which is fine with me.
GREED SUCKS!

| 12. Teehee, teehee, I'm retired now |
|
I know some will say it is blood money, but I participated in the capitalist system by selling my labor, and that got me nowhere! So I decided to try a different form of participation.
