Jan 20, 2001- DOW was at 10,660.
Today- The DOW tumbled by almost 450 points to close at 7,552.
In all likelihood, Obama will inherit a stock market that is in worse shape than when Bush II first took office.
Heckuva job, Georgie!

1. I told my parents, they should have cashed in their 401k when it was around 14,000 |
|
and taken the tax penalty.. they'd be more ahead than they are now.. I think there are a whole mess of baby boomers freaking out. My mom said, "I'll never be able to retire, and as its going now, I won't even be able to move in with you guys, I'm still trying to help you out." 8yrs to ruin the country.

2. Your parents could have |

gone to cash within the 401k without a tax penalty.

3. Yeah, I should've cashed in everything a year ago too, but I foolishly listened to 'the experts'. |
|
But yeah, on W, hey, you know it's all ... somehow ... Obama's fault, right? I'm sure the RW media is yelling that already...
