with the US markets closed yesterday for MLK day markets all over the world ended up dropping between 5-10% due to worries on how the US market would pan out due to many people thinking we are heading for a large recession again.

The Feds cut 3/4% off the funds rate and are expected to possibly cut that rate from the current 3.5% down even more.

its said that this is the first emergency rate cut since sept. 2001 and the largest rate cut since 1984


.... didnt see anything about this posted else where but i figure that theres plenty of people world wide that are investing and it will effect them. i know i dont have much invested but at 22 its set up really aggressive and im down about 16% in just the past 2 months (not counting the large loss ill have today)

In my opinion, now is the time to be dumping money into the markets. You are getting your funds/stocks for cheap. You are getting more more your money. When the markets go back up (and they will), you will have made even more money. Yes, I looked in my 401K, and it wasn't pretty, but I'm in this for the long haul, so I know it will get back to where it was.

The best protection against identity theft is to have an idenity absolutely nobody would want.

I'm so poor I'd have to win the lottery to be broke.
