Holy mackerel!

Here I am shitting bricks worrying about my/the economy and I went and bought stock(in BP). I'm not a wealthy individual, don't have a job and am relying totally on the Stock Market. What the hail wuz I thinking!?

Anybody else buying and worrying as much as me?

 

I'm thinking about buying a lot in Cramerica. That dude is a salesman... where's my cross.

 

I have like 100 bucks taken out of my paycheck, so I'm buying and HOPING it bounces back and meanwhile getting some cheap stocks.

 

My money man sez BP and the banks are good investments, not meaning to sound flippant.

scenario: I ask the money man "Should I sell my Mutual Funds?" He sez "Why?" wtf "Because my portfolio is dwindling faster than I'm spending it." The money man says "Don't worry, we have a downturn in the economy every three years." I say, "Yes, but this downturn is much worse than usual." He goes on to say "Don't you remember the 2002 downturn? It was worse than this one."
Anyhow, he sweet talks and sooths, reels me in and I whind up buying more stock. Damn, I'm gonna die penniless on the street...
