Looks like a bit of a bounce now ... up over 100 from lows ... can I stop panicking or is this only a moment of false hope in an ever blackening universe?

My money's staying in the money market funds until the economy has worked its way through this. I've only got about 12 weeks left on this job, anyway. They're closing up my department at the end of the year. Hopefully I can find something else to do before the unemployment runs out the middle of next year.

I figure that when the biggest factor in my 401K's growth is the amount I put in every month, security of principal is way more important than banking on some risky stocks to pump up my account. And my account is pretty piddly at this time, I was only able to start re-establishing it this year.

I've become a master at learning how to deal with hard times.

Dead cat bounce.
