Global Financial Meltdown Melt My MyLot Profit!!!!!!! !!!!! !!!!

The unpredictable world economy does no good for investment. It is better to put all your money under the pillow then having your money melted, sucked away by this so called investment companies. I had bad experience some years back when I invested a lot of money in commodities and not knowing the in and out the working of commodities I invested blindly with the help of a remiser friend. Barely a month all my hard earned money invested in the commodity trading just disappear and I cried until no tears left in my eyes. From then on the mention of stock exchange, commodities or anything that concern investment make me shudder.

oh good to know, I'll go for something that keeps value over time a little better, like gold or silver or diamonds :D

The stock market is always a big gamble and not for the faint-of-heart. That is why I got out after I also lost money several years ago. They say to keep your money in it for the long haul and over the years it averages out. I think it also depends on the companies you choose to invest in. You, of course, have to choose wisely but there are never any guarantees. I am sorry things are not going well for you. It is a hard lesson to learn. If you don't have that much invested and you are young, let it stay in the market for a while. Surely after things hit rock bottom, they can only go up from there.
