NO ONE on THIS board has the slightest clue what the economy will look like in 3 months.

Hey man, at least you got a 50-50 shot...better odds than the Nostradamus of $300/barrel oil had. I sincerely hope your guess is wrong sir. In the meantime, enjoy the next three months.

Don't despair guys. I know of a man who immigrated to the US from Kenya as a child and despite having a zero balance in his debit account just seven short years ago and never in his life holding a nine to five job, he has managed to gain employment in a very high executive position. He is many times a millionaire now and even has several private jets.
Hard work and honesty can get us where we want to go!

Wow!

I agree that predicting what the domestic/global economy might look like 3 YEARS into the future is murky, but the 6 different publications I read each week ALL AGREE the recession/depression only deepens over the next 3 MONTHS. Morgan Stanley this week is warning of a DEPRESSION significantly worse than the 1930's. Given the economic data and the 6-month lag any stimulus requires to become apparent (Econ 101), I am personally ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT in predicting our economic situation will look WORSE in 3 months! Call me an idiot if you wish.

Concur, and I'm not hearing any noises yet to change that outlook. Just how bad is unknown, but the bottom is not in yet.

Just keeping checking the ol' 401 K balance.
Mine's down about 39 percent.
Could be worse at 0.

Thanks Shaggy, bring this up in three months and we can open the time capsule and see what's what. I hope you have a good laugh at my expense.

I am ready for what the future brings me and no matter how ****ed off I get, I can't change a darn thing! I want us to be safe and support each other and not let the company get the upper hand! That's all! Not looking for a hand out or anything else from anyone!
