Yup, I’m another victim of the stock market crash, what a mess. My portfolio went from $20,000 to around $7,000 in a matter of months, so much for thinking I was actually getting ahead. So now I have no idea what the best way to invest money is, but I sure could use a good stock tip right about now.

At least I’m better off than some of these poor saps who were a year or two away from retiring and now lost most of their investments. I would probably lose my mind. I guess they will have to work a few extra years or get a part time job or something.  If I lose my job though I better get looking in to mortgage unemployment insurance. That would really be horrible. I’m no spring chicken but at least I have a lot more years to get back to where I was, or at least get close to it.

I really feel bad for those poor people who that stock market broker ripped off down in New York City, I can’t believe all of those smart people couldn’t keep track of 50 billion dollars, unreal. That guy better watch his back, there’s going to be a lot of very rich powerful people after him. I’m really glad I’m not in his shoes I tell you. If I were him legal troubles would be the least of my concerns. He’s probably smart enough to get out of them anyway.

Yeah so I don’t know what to do now, maybe I could write the SEC and they will pay me back the money I lost? Fat chance of that. Maybe the new Prez will write me a part of that new bill they’re trying to pass. Surely with a couple trillion dollars they could spare me a couple grand? That would be nice wouldn’t it? I know he would get my vote! Oh well, I guess I have to go back to the grindstone and try to earn a few more bucks. Until then keep praying the stock market goes back up!
