I also took the opportunity to invest $1100 in the stock market last week. And in case you don’t think that’s much $$, it’s more than a month’s take home pay for me

Good job. Frankly, I haven’t even wanted to look and I have not. I think that is good also. I’m young and have some time for things to rebound.

The housing rebound or lack thereof, is really dependent on where you live. I’ve heard that some areas of the mid-west are seeing increases in home values. If you live in California, Florida and some other places, it may be a while yet.

For fun, I did post some interesting figures on what the current Bail-outs look like on my blog.

Nice work. Many of the pros bought up their favorite companies that were selling at a discount while it was available.

I’ve increased my retirement contributions, also! I’m thirty-one and I can wait for stock so rebound. I feel sorry for the people that are/were close to retiring.
