Favorite Colors

You know, I've never been a big fan of red.

It's eerily close to the scarlet the buckeyes don on gameday.

Allegiances aside, it's an interesting experience to be a late 20's not-so-young anymore, not-so-urban anymore professional in this economic turbulence. Checking on the once robust retirement accounts dwindle 5% per day and trying to convince oneself that this is a long term buying opportunity is just the sort of counter intuitive learning experience somebody my age needs.

Money is really looking for something to do. As appealing as mattress stuffing might be, I'm convinced there's something better.

The question becomes, are we nearing the bottom in the market? Does any faith in equities remain or are we destined for a decade of gaining 2.6% on cd's and .2% in a savings account?

Eh screw it, buy some stock.
