I think I closed at the low of the year for my entire account today. I now have a year to date LOSS for my entire account of....(-5.08%). Last week I was at.....(-4.42%). WHATEVER.

My wife had to go in and get a stent put in for an artery that was impaired by 85% last week. She is now fine...no problems....she did not have a heart attack. So I decided to go in and get a heart and lung CT scan. It is amazing technology and is readily available through private business now. The cost with a promotional rate....$149. I am waiting for my report. At least it has now been 24 hours and no one has called me....to tell me to rush to the hospital....LOL. I have never had any heart or lung symptoms....but neither had my wife.
Definitely some job disruption will come from it. What will be interesting is to look back on this time frame in 10+ years and see just how right or wrong things end up.
