   However, I am not too upset. I started keeping track of my mutual funds at vanguard on Sept. 21st. According to my notes, I am still $20,000 ahead of where I was on 9/21, so that makes me happy!! 
   
   that's the perfect attitude to have, julie! i wish more folks could feel that way when the market gets funky.

   My IRA took the same kind of hit. If people don't panic and pull out their money, the market will climb back up again. The money in my IRA is a rollover from the retirement funds from a job I held for 21 years. It will be interesting to hear what the new Fed. Chairman has to say. Every time Greenspan talks, there is a huge reaction! As in yesterday's comment that we could see a recession this year.

   I lost $2,300 in my 401k alone. But just like you, it doesn't bother me. I'm only 30 and have a long way to go till retirement.

   Well, I still have $20,000 more than I did 5 months ago, and I never put in a dime.

   I'm sure mine is down too. I've decided not to look. If I look I might worry when I know that I shouldn't. I still have more than 30 years until retirement. I just put money in last friday...maybe next month it will still be down and I'll get the sale price!!

   My retirement fund lost $2,000. I hope it recovers by the time I retire in a few months.

    " 1) Never be over exposed to the market
    2) Meltdown can happen suddenly
    3) Never Greed . Always take profit on the way up
    4) Never buy more than what you can afford to
    5) In a panic sell like today, watch for rebound
    6) Ask not what had happened or going to happen, but ask what you going to do when the market gets there "
    
    Daniel.
