*GROAN*... or, anyone else have a stock market horror story?
I knew things were going to look bad but I had no idea... just got my year end statement. I took a nearly $10,000 loss this year between Microsoft and Cisco. I'm just glad I don't have a mortgage or similar right now. I hope everyone else had the sense to diversify, and weren't hit so hard.
*sigh*

So sorry to hear of your misfortune Micheleh. I don't know if it's any comfort, my parents have lost far more and they were counting on it as retirement income . Cisco is a big shock, they were expected to be the best of the best just a short while ago.
I sincerely hope things turn around soon and you recoup your loss. As Uhura would say, "All my hopes..."

Thanks! I feel for your parents, I really do. My mom is havign a hard time, too- fortunately everything is paid for. So many people literally lost everything. It's easy to sometimes lose sight of that.
I am grateful for everything I have, and all my friends.  |

I moved all my monies into closed end funds a while back, they are heavely regulated and pay some of the best dividends. My best to date is ACG they are up and paying 11%.
Hope this helps.

Arizona is beautiful! Just forget about getting a decent wage, lol.

Really! I'll have to remember that! Thanks! |
