A Record 777 Points Down
September 30th, 2008 | Filed under Investing.When I first saw that number I immediately thought about a Boeing 777 but after checking more closely I knew it was something more expensive. Sure enough the market was down a whooping 777 points and just like that my account was down a whooping $693 dollars and I am sure that my 403-B didn’t fare any better. When Monday morning time came I checked the news and read that the $700 billion was going to be voted on and I figure that it would pass and the market would reach positively to that but next thing I know I am down a bunch and there was nothing I could have done by then, all I could say at that point was, “look, there go my last week’s gain.” The only good news right now is that Visa (V) sure looks very tasty and I still have $1,000 dollars in my savings account.
