Yikes! Looks like another bad week on Wall St.
Last week I wanted to exchange out of my index fund into an ETF that specializes in essentials. They told me I had to open a brokerage account first, took my money out and parked it in a money market until my account got final approval. The next day the market started tanking and my money is still sitting in that money market waiting for things to stabilize. Now all I have to worry about is my cash becoming worthless before my stocks would have.

HA! I’m ready for a Dow 12!
Come at me with that passion fruit, you pansies!
I don’t own any stocks, so Dow 12 wouldn’t bother me.
But Beans $15.00 is not a good thing.
