3. The numbers
When Bush took office: 10,587.59
Today's close: 10,609.66
Change: +22.07

By tomorrow it could easily be below where it was when he took office.

4. Oh my goodness.
And yes, with inflation........Good grief. Lots of normal people losing money right now. We have some investments through the "Thrift Savings Plan". Kind of like a 401k for the military, I suppose. I should go and look and see where we sit after the last few days.

6. I hope yours is ok. I'm afraid to look at my next statement for my
retirement plans. I might have to literally work until I die.
