Obama is handling it, I think we are in good hands. However, this does not mean that we should be complacent.<BR/><BR/>I must admit that inflation will continue to rise; but those have learned the value of frugal living will still thrive, and sadly, life will be tougher for those who have not.<BR/><BR/>@ Rick<BR/><BR/>Nope. We cannot afford to sit and wait.<BR/><BR/>I agree on the other hand that there is no perfect time to invest. However, care and prudence must be exercised at all times. Sometimes, the lure of immediate and bigger gains get into us.<BR/><BR/>I also agree the there opportunities in this financial crisis. And yes, we can possible make fortunes out of this. However, this hinges on our ability and patience to find where and when to invest.<BR/><BR/>Money sure helps! ^ ^<BR/><BR/>@ Cher<BR/><BR/>Thanks Cher, you have a great blog there too! ^^Norhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15123517229956303014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-91029217755147523292009-03-21T12:25:00.000-07:002009-03-21T12:25:00.000-07:00Just found your site through Entrecard and dropped my card.

I guess we can all sit here and wait for the economy to get better. The fact is their is no perfect time to invest. Sure, things look bad now but this is the time were fortunes are made. <BR/><BR/>Money isn't everything but it sure helps!Rick Vaughnhttp://www.thetruthofcredit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-87631608546031430842009-03-20T21:45:00.000-07:002009-03-20T21:45:00.000-07:00I am so grateful that I have no money in the stock market, and my husband's career has more job security than most other jobs. This recession isn't really hurting us at all, but when I see what the government is doing to fix this problem, it worries me. I worry that the money that I have will continue to go down in value as inflation increases. That affects all of us.Jennifer @ Money Saver 101http://moneysaver101.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-75276639387646017142009-03-19T08:46:33.404-07:002009-03-19T08:46:33.404-07:00@ covered calls<BR/><BR/>Right. And also, we should think more on the long-term gains through smaller investments.<BR/><BR/>@ deejay<BR/><BR/>Well, you hit the nail on the head there. <BR/><BR/>To me, good times or bad times, we must always be prepared for the inevitable. Deep pockets (with cash of course) and fat bank account would be a good start.<BR/><BR/>Oh the empty wallet? Somehow, I am trying to convince myself that it should always be empty so that I have the motivation to stuff it with more $100 bills. ^____^ Nah, I am just trying to be optimistic there deejay. For the truth of the matter, an empty wallet is not good at all.Norhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15123517229956303014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-36776409693378938592009-03-18T01:25:00.000-07:002009-03-18T01:25:00.000-07:00it seems nowadays you must be prepared for the worst that may come. thanks anyway of the wallet you have shown and there was no money at all. lol! and the message is very clear, we must prepare of economic crunch (meltdown or crisis), and concentrate more on savings. thanks for sharing.deejayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02388933540091355741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-71150182841144334612009-03-17T17:45:00.000-07:002009-03-17T17:45:00.000-07:00Investing in the stock market can be risky. By using various investment techniques it is possible to manage positive gains. Long gone are the days of 20%+ returns. I will be happy with 5 - 10% a year for the next 10 years.Covered Callshttp://covered-calls.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-68939967821929289392009-03-15T04:47:04.857-07:002009-03-15T04:47:04.857-07:00@ Hor<BR/><BR/>Nah. I'm still on the 'wait and see' mode here. I am still trailing at what the President Obama's stimulus package will do with the economy. So far, there are no good signs yet. Although I am optimistic that better days for trading will soon come. Till then, I wait.<BR/><BR/>@ Eddie<BR/><BR/>IMO, that's a wise stance. <BR/><BR/>Stock trading will always be a gamble. You win some today, you lose some tomorrow -that is, if you still have something to lose. ^^<BR/><BR/>I pity your friend, and so some of mine too.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I believe that too. These setbacks will definitely be our stepping stones for better financial wellness.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing Eddie and for visiting my other blogs too.Norhttp://www.nonfinancepro.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376604862914634542.post-32139757052093157532009-03-11T10:33:00.000-07:002009-03-11T10:33:00.000-07:00I do not play the stock market and more than likely never will, but I do have friends that are fretting over what is transpiring at this present moment. I have one friend that has lost some $500,000 thus far. It's a good thing they are not depending on this for a living or retirement, but how many were and are? I wonder! Thanks for the post. It made me be more thankful for my decisions not to invest in the past. I do recall a brilliant saying of an old friend, "Setbacks pave the way for comebacks." Hopefully this will stand true as we see a rebound.
