Uncertain Times

This afternoon I received word via my cell phone that the stock market had closed 500 points up for the day. Yesterday, it was down over 400 points. My 401K has lost at least a third of its value in the last few months. The powers that be in Washington are changing their minds daily on how to spend the 700 billion bailout money. Uncertain times are here and will probably stay for a while. Retirement for Boomers seems shakey at the moment. Patience is needed, and a little calm as this financial mess works its way toward something more solid. Greed by too many who dropped their ethics for more quick money got us into this mess. It really is too bad that regulations are needed to keep the unethical in line. Those on main street end up suffering the most. Hang in there!
