I think we all owe it to the country to venture forth and buy stock and bolster the economy.

You can't be serious. Do you owe it to your country to lose your shirt?

No,silly, buy some stock--my 401K is still doing very well. I am going to buy some stock with some money but I promise you I will not invest so much as to lose my shirt. I think that you ,too, could invest a little to help boost the economy. You don't have to use all your life savings--consider the stock market as gambling money that you would lose in Vegas. Who knows I might win but I think it is well worth the gamble b/c I have faith in the system.
