And yeah, pgardn, I do think a lot of people will figure out how to make money out of the current situation; I'm just not sure how yet. But, in the meantime, I'll continue to stay out of debt and put money towards retirement (though I am looking at moving more of my money into mutual funds focused on the international market. Though I'm the genius who got into the market just about at its peak in 2000. D'oh! I did benefit from continuing to invest during the low years right after, so yay for dollar-cost averaging.)


Well I dont know exactly how to make money
investing right now as I just cant keep up.
Dollar cost averaging and mutual funds,
especially index funds seem the best way to
me. I just cant spend the time looking over
all these individual companies and then trying
to figure out if Wall Street actually sees the
company as I see it. Very tough.

And I dont know that I am correct in my 5 year
assessment. I hope I am. Larger Foreign investment
in this country not only means the dollar is cheap,
it also indicates that the world has faith in the
economy of this country.
