The equivalent of about $60,000 isn't anything amazing my friend. More than I have.. (obviously) Not anything really anyone has to lie about, we aren't pulling out and measuring here.
Maybe to someone earning 50k plus and experienced in the stock markets but a newbie? Sorry it doesn't ring true, then with his following post being an attack... Screaming Troll, just my honest opinion.
Screaming Troll???
I don't happen to agree with the OP, so anything I post is a lie and i'm a troll??

You don't think people have IRA's or 401k's that are multiples of that amount?
You are seriously parochial and should explain yourself better.
To someone in England...
- IRA is a terrorist organisation that blows up Irish Policemen
- 401k is the weight of a small car.

We are 14 or so days from 24th October 2010.
Count back 14 days prior to 19th October 1987 and you have 4th October 1987 when everyone was happy and jolly and the sun shone in the sky.
Hardly the case aristocrat2.
With all due respect , if you aren't old enough to remember Oct 1987...perhaps you should research before making such remarks.
In 1987 I was a 40yr old buy & hold market participant that managed to escape the Oct carnage. If need be , I can describe the Oct 1987 climate in vivid detail.
The Wall St. Banner for 1987 should read: Cocaine , Corruption & Overvaluation.
By Oct , investor confidence had been rocked by a rash SEC insider trading investigations resulting in numerous stiff prison sentences for high level Wall St. figures. Investment banks were laying-off large blocks of personnel. The DJIA was selling-off on heavy volume from the 2722 record high posted 6wks earlier (DJ didn't recapture 2722 until 1989) , and bond yields were approaching 10%.
By Oct 4, fear was palpable , and on Oct 19 the reaper delivered.

Show me anything historically that would be contrary to my opinion about big business moving into Canada from the USA? You would be hard pressed to IMO.

Argyll, I am sorry I called you a liar about your investments. I know nothing about what you have/have not invested in stock. I guess I saw many attacks on the OP because he used the word 'DOOMSDAY' and I felt the title was side tracking the real point of the thread. I took it out on you because I thought you were just testing the OP asking for advice you did not need.
I apologise again dude and wish you all the best with your investments.

There's nothing wrong with the Dollar collapsing. If anything it will help our cause! We're going to have to basically start from scratch, because we've screwed up so bad. There isn't enough money to pay off any debts, so we'll have to erase them, and if we erase them, we can start new! Too bad it had to get this intense before we could make a change.. But I just think it's all part of a new beginning.

....Also if aristocrat would like to explain why he has a bunch of similar threads in his profile I'd be happy to hear it. Also I'd like to know how a fishing protection supervisor has time to also be a sicilian enforcer and then has time to blog about it on a website.
