I am just glad that I am 25 and the market really isn’t doing anything but making my life easier at this point.

a) I am not ready to retire  
2) I do not need any new loans any times soon  
III) Civil service jobs aren’t going anywhere

and falling energy prices = more money in my pocket

good, fuck’em. They’ve been eating too good for too long. Reality check for them. Oil should be $60-80 a barrel. They got way too fat when it was $147.xx

I can see the marketing campaign.  
“Come to Buffalo, we’ve been in a recession for years!”

Why did I have to get into stocks and investments just recently. Still taking a ugly hit ☹

At least oil prices are dropping to realistic levels.

I pretty much feel the same as you at the moment. Although, who knows how long the USA is going to need engineering and shit. I’m sure it wont be too long before a majority of that get’s outsourced to China or India :meh:
