I would be surprised to find that any Freeper was affected by the Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or Lehman Brothers fiascos.

Any Freeper here hurt by these finanical institutions money woes?

I do know that John Kerry, Teresa Heinz and Nancy Pelosi lost big time in Lehman Brothers investing.. millions, but then they had millions and millions to invest in exotic mortgages, and did not invest wisely.

Try being in NYC during a financial crisis.

Every Freeper will be affected by the current and impending financial bailouts paid for by the US Taxpayer sometime in the future

I assume every Freeper pays taxes, except for the Freeper trolls who come over from DU

Oh yeah- there are some freepers hurting- I read posts from several of them in the last few days.

Money market funds were going down the tubes.

We have shares in Fidelity Magellan fund and it has a position in AIG as of the last announcement in June I think. If they sold out early, no problem If they still hold it, probably mot good.

Being on a fixed income, and part of that being an annuity that is based on mutual funds, I am directly affected each month.

Many who supplement their incomes via these kinds of financial vehicles are impacted. Even money market accounts will be hurt. It will ripple through the whole economic system.

I’ve lost about 15% of my retirement fund, but that’s not the point.

What have my grandkids lost? What has the country lost as a grand experiment in freedom? Greed, baited by collectivist schemes, has destroyed a great part of who we are or will be in the future.

Nope. Yet I’m going to have to pay the bill for it.
