Default Off Topic Tread

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where you could have, questions, comments, general discussion...Or anything that's not important enough for it's own thread. I know people have things they wanna mention or ask and they have to start there own thread to do so.

I'd like to know what to do with my 401k, it's sinking like a box of rocks.

This would be a good time to also invite more people over to the "PatsFans.com Pub":

The PatsFans.com Pub

Lot's of fun discussions over there, and a very laid back atmosphere. I think it would be great to see more people in there. It's a different environment to give people a chance to get to know eachother a bit better

Unless you're retiring in the next few years, why not take advantage of the situation and increase your contribution. The market's bound to recover at some point, and buying low's the way to go.*

Like Ian said, there's other forums here. Plenty of talk on the Political forum and in the Pub. The Pub is self fulfilling, the more threads, the more people will stop by which stimulates more threads, etc.

Why do they call it Ovaltine? The Jar is round. The cup is round. They should call it Roundtine!

I hear you. I've lost 28% so far this year. Of course, seeing how I don't retire for another 30 years, I'm just going to wait it out. Don't choose a very aggressive mix unless you have the fortitude to watch yourself lose tens of thousands of dollars overnight.... knowing that in the long run, those numbers don't even matter.
