Thanks for the link! Great roundup of wonderful articles about our current down market. Scary times, but they can be weathered.
This post is a great collection of resourceful articles. This should be read by all the people who think that they should take their money out of the market.
I like your approach to this and the way you organized it. I also like how you threw in a little humor. It doesn’t do any good to be all doom and gloom. A positive attitude will take you a lot further even when things are a little tougher!
Great roundup. I think step 9 is very important because personal stories can always provide that little extra motivation that’s sometimes lacking when you’re seeing red everywhere.
Thanks for including my Idiot’s Guide to Fix the Economy!!! There are loads of great content in your article.
Buy and hold – better than gold. (I had to say that – everyone is making fun of buy and hold). I like the one about talking to teens about economic crisis (like when you drop your change for the soda machine and it rolls into the sewer).
I would also like to mention that for the majority of us near the bottom of the financial heap, we have that many fewer on top of us since the finacial collapse began. And that is a good thing.
I think people should be short selling right now, though. Buy and hold is good, but raking in the cash is better. Opportunity knocks.
Excellent resource! Thanks for the mention. 🙂
Great roundup, Thanks for including me in the list.
