Not ready to challenge Pete, yet? - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

I don't understand a thing in this game. Patrick has played a TON and is pretty good. We should match them up! - Robert Scoble

This Qik was done on my iPhone. I hope Apple approves that but Patrick doesn't think that will happen. - Robert Scoble

Is that the only game he plays? If so, that's too bad. There are so many good console games out right now. - Ryan

He plays lots of games on xbox and playstation but keeps going back to WoW. - Robert Scoble

I have stopped looking. I try to work out instead. - Edwin Khodabakchian

My idea of working out consists of baby lifts and the Wii Fit. But the only thing losing weight is my wallet. - Louis Gray

That looks my kids' 529s. Misery loves company. Or whatever. - Rick Turoczy

The mega millions lottery has a $86M jackpot currently, looks like a worthwhile investment to me. - Nigel Stolting

its all about the ultra shorts right now, keep in mind they are also etfs also - sam via twhirl

Mine's all invested in entrepreneurial activities - nothing but up to go here :-) - Jesse Stay

Ugh, it makes me sick to look at my 401k. It's a good time to buy though. I doubled-up my contribution from 5% to 10%. - GeekLad

GeekLad, you only know if it's a good time to buy a year later. Right now it's just gambling, and the Dow can easily go down another 1500. - Chris White

Take comfort that you're not alone. ... - Jason Kaneshiro

looks like houses weren't the only things artificially inflated. DJIA is back to where it was before W was in office & worse some. - Enrique Gutierrez

Enrique, now watch as real estate values adjust to similar levels. Exercise for everyone, ask your real estate agents if prices ever go down. - Chris White

Mine is looking like my life expectancy graph - Floyd Davenport

Oh, it'd be great if real estate adjusted to where it was in the late 90s. I could go buy that $125K house in Freehold. - Morton Fox

I'm not looooo-kiiiinngg - Lah, lah, lah <hands over eyes> ;-) - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart

[Chris White] I didn't bother messing with real estate during the boom/fail - but - mid-next year? I might flirt with the notion - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl

think long-term... - .LAG

LAG, long term I want a better house than I can afford right now. I think that time may be coming. - Chris White

@chris... if people are looking at their current portfolio value, or current home value and comparing it to just a few months ago, all they're going to do is get scared and pissed off. - .LAG

LAG, what about all the people who didn't buy that expensive house because they thought their real estate agent was lying? Don't they have a say also? I've been warning people about bay area real estate since 2004 and the stock market since 2006. I've had financial advisors tell me I should be more leveraged and that I was in danger of losing purchasing power. - Chris White

So did you pick your stocks for that portfolio, or did you diversify outside the US? - Ernie Oporto

@chris... i was one of those people who DIDN'T buy that expensive house... like two years ago. it wasn't that i thought the real estate or mortgage brokers were lying to me... it was this: i looked at what i was potentially getting for the offered prices, and i'd say: "you gotta be goddamn kidding me...this house is not worth THAT!" i live in the Bay Area. i think a lot of people got bamboozled...and were greedy and foolish. now, we're all going to have to pay. so nut up, and tighten your belt. - .LAG

Louis, I think we must be holding the same stocks. http://img.skitch.com/20081122... - Mike Doeff

@Mike, we just might. I'm amazed that the 401k mutual funds are doing even worse than I am! According to Mint.com, if I lost the average amount that I've been losing over the last two weeks, my total value will hit $0 in two months. - Louis Gray

Looks a lot like mine - Mike Hussein Cohen

Some good companies are getting close to their cash value. Non- financials my be a good buy. - Robert Hafer

Robert, which companies are those? - Chris White

I attended a talk by Mary Hunt on Thursday night. Her advice: if you're not about to retire, don't look at your 401k balance right now. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

we are on the same boat... well cruise ship, the Titanic was not a boat http://cli.gs/MyPortfolio - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
