valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 15:53:32: still here, Chris?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:13:09: Hello
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:19:40: still here, Joe?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:25:06: yep am now
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:25:27: I am hang a big!
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:26:02: I am and will hang around a bit.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:29:28: how's things?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:30:16: All things considered ok. Enjoyed your friends comments and certainly don't diagree.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:30:33: my friend's comments?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:30:56: The financial prospectus emai lyou sent.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:31:13: Or, do you mean the e-mail I sent him?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:31:15: Investments, economy, etc.
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:31:51: Yep!
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:31:54: oh, good. Things are certainly interesting. Could have a short-term bounce, but the longer term certainly remains a question
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:33:06: If history is any indicator, we should have a sell-off followed by a 20%+/- bounce; then retrace to lows
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:34:14: normally, however, we have a stock market "panic", whereas now we have a "financial panic"; so, who knows?
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:34:18: I am feel better then most of my colleagues who have almost all to these asets in their stuff in funds and stocks.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:35:03: I feel pretty good; went virtually entirely to treasury money market accounts a year ago :>)
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:35:22: Allthey have is their 403. I have 26% mutal funds, 22 percent good stocks, 27% insured savings, and the rest in a variety of venues.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:35:31: I feel badly for those about to retire and/or retired that have lost 40% of their assets
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:35:58: good, glad to hear that you are well diversified
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:36:06: Which includes goverment bonds, as well as "paid for rental units".
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:36:42: Me too - but I have lost about 10-12%, but can wait for the market to return.
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:37:26: WE also have a defined benefit coming in outo fthe state teacher retiremetn system.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:37:39: yup, that amount is relatively easy to recover; a 40% decline, however, requires 67% recovery just to get to breakeven :(
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:38:10: Did you get to Hershey and meet the guys?
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:38:43: no, did not go to Hershey; but, Newt, AK and SW stopped here for dinner and visit
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:39:11: geez, swap is really slow tonight

domino on 10/12/08 at 17:39:56: We took my 98 year old Dad and John got a kick out of him.
valleyforge on 10/12/08 at 17:40:19: I remember the pics that you posted; your Dad seemed to be enjoying himself
domino on 10/12/08 at 17:41:19: Yep, phoned him yesterday and he told me he's going fishing on the 19th. The VFW is sporting a trip for the wheel chair bound veterans.

domino on 10/12/08 at 18:00:26: Wow - glad you got to attend. Maybe some day I'll make it.
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:00:40: oops... was 82.. not 88..auction ran from 3pm to about 10pm
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:01:07: Heard an A400 went for 59K or so.
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:01:12: got to drive some very nice and interesting vehicles
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:01:52: I bet
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:01:55: that wasnt in the RM Auction.. might have been in the Kruse Auction that is also held during the fall meet
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:02:39: Could be. Did you meet AK and SW?
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:03:42: the highest selling car was a 1933 Duesenburg Le Grande Phaeton. 1.6 mil

domino on 10/12/08 at 18:04:42: Kinda left out the soical part for you.
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:05:00: the RM staff drove the highest dollor cars.. the nicest car I drove was a 1929 Auburn sedan... would have loved to have it
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:05:30: Bet there were lots of toys that you would have taken if possible.
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:05:42: there were about a dozen cars that were red tagged for RM personnel only to drive.. that included the Duesey
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:06:17: I bet - lots of moneythere. Glad to see some folks can still afford them.
Bruce on 10/12/08 at 18:06:30: If I was told I could pick any one (besides the duesey) to take home for free...I wouldnt know which one to pick
domino on 10/12/08 at 18:06:56: That would be a problem.
