...well, there are a lot of good people out there with the degree, but personally, I don't think "Business" should even be a university degree.

9. MBA. . .my father has one. But Bush did give us the Business good and hard too |

He told America to bend over and spell RUN. . .and the Republicans enabled it to happen!
No wonder I'm bleeding from the ass!

my retirement accounts are in mutual funds but are diversified also. I have no idea how this is affecting me, I am scared to look. I dont get widows benefits for 2 1/2 years, until then I desperately need those funds to access some sort of income. If I lose them, well, I might as well say sayonara to this world, because I will be on the street. Its always good to have that option open, I think, of a bottle of pills if I lose whatever assurance I have eating and paying my heating bills. I didnt think it could get worse then it is now, and yet, here it is.

12. But there are so many bargains out there |

Let's all go out and buy buy buy so that it will go up and then more of the smart money can cash out at a profit.

15. AIG down another 40% to approx. $2 a share |
|
And Morgan Stanley down 40% even though they bumped up their earnings report and had better than expected earnings.
Good job with that bailout, Fed! :sarcasm:
