Has anyone lost money big time in the stock market lately?

dookie03 @dookie03 (578) • United States 14 Oct 08

I don't have any specific funds that i invest in i just let my 401k do the investing for me. But my brother has lost over $50,000 in his stocks because he apparently didn't pull out in time. I don't think anyone saw this coming...

taiguy Your brother should leave the stocks in. Providing the company(ies) still exist they will climb again in stocks. The stock market is at a "5 year low" on it's normal up and down cycle. If stocks were this bad only five years ago then just wait a few years and...

taiguy Well, allowing someone else to pray for you isn't going to hurt anything .. so there is little to worry about. I usually just smile and thank them. If you ultimately wrong (people are way to fanatical about these things in my opinion) then no harm done. If...

Do you ever give books away?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160696) • United States 10 Oct 08

I always have bought books as gifts, for my children, my siblings, and my grandchildren, now. I have an opportunity to give books away right now to some teens who are in a group home waiting for foster placement. It feels so good....

taiguy I only buy books for people if I am sure they are really interested in reading it. I don't believe in giving someone a book in anticipation of them reading it to 'enlighten' them or trying to change their beliefs. Basically I treat it under then zen: Education...

taiguy I have an odd pattern of cutting my pony tail every eight years. It started when my baby sitter cut off my butt-length hair when I was eight. I tend to trim the "top" of my head every few months, which usually gives me a good mullet look for about a month....

taiguy I sleep at my work all the time. I have gotten to the point where I will wake up every few minutes and scroll the ol' mouse to move the page down. I'll be reading something for real, but more at the rate of a paragraph every five minutes. I am still trying to...

What is "Middle Class"?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 10 Apr 08

"Some 53% of adults in America say they are middle class. On key measures of well-being -- income, wealth, health, optimism about the future -- they tend to fall between those who identify with classes above and below them. But...

taiguy I believe they define "middle class" as simply believing your middle class. There is no real number cruncher that explain's it in my understanding. Montana earnings are pretty poor per average; so unless your making less than 18k a year you typically consider...

Why are some people shy?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 9 Apr 08

I have read this article somewhere about why people are shy. According to that article, some people are born timid. Maybe it is in our genes. Plus we are all told not to show off or talk to strangers. For others, we become shy...

taiguy In my case I would have to say it originated from simply being an introverted person. I was not as interested in engaging with people as I am now, and therefore did not have the social experience to do such. After the years (beer helped) of becoming more...

H2O to boost your car power

fortheweb @fortheweb (61) • Philippines 14 Mar 07

With electrolysis, you can split water or H2O into HHO and feed it to your car air intake. It will add more power to your engine by improving the engine combustion process and with that you are reducing smoke or pollution from...

taiguy A "friend of a friend" has claimed to setup a crude unit in his car. He claims to get above 30 mpg with the unit. I am not sure how much hydrogen can really be produced at once, and it may be alot more useful to have it 'build up' over time (i.e. when car is...

My daughter has failed.

mamasan34 @mamasan34 (6518) • United States 14 Nov 07

I am very disappointed this morning. I have had quite an evening last night. My daughter brought her report card home and apparently she just shows up at school to socialize. At least that is the gist I get from her report card. 2...

taiguy I am not a parent, but to me it sounds like you are going in the wrong direction. First, the school may not be doing a very good job of keeping her encapsulated in the subjects. Alot of times it is more about interest then ability. Second, taking away her...

taiguy Everyone knows the only way for kids to learn love is by beating it into them. Without a reference to pain how would they understand compassion? Seriously, though, too often I see parents telling their kids "what" and never "why". Kids respond very well if...
