    Well I just moved $250k out of money market back into stock today. I figure if I didn’t move it out of stock into money market back in may, I would be seeing a -15%. So on average even if things go down further, I’m not doing worse than the average folks that just let their accounts sit there…
    heh heh…. What I bought was

    BP, RDSB, XLE, SLV, DOW, PM, GE, MON, and ARMH

    All you doomsdaysayers, don’t worry really. The government will figure something out to bailout all those people that count on 401k’s…..I’m pretty confident in that 🙂

    BTW: The 15 year rates are ridiculously low…..So guess what? I’ve started a loan application (two actually) again….I predict 3.25% on a 15 year conforming soon….heh heh

    Got volatility?

    well, we might be driving $50k hyundais, but probably $30-40k BMW’s….At least, that’s what it looks like when you look at the Euro…..[/quote]

    Don’t know about that. I remember the Euro = $0.85 USD in 2000. Now 1 Euro = $1.4 USD, notwithstanding the debt crisis in Europe.

    Americans who cashed out of Internet stocks to buy real estate in Southern France are sitting pretty right now.[/quote]

    Not as well as if you took my advice in 2007 and bought real estate in Vancouver, BC….

    The overseas asians that wanted a lax immigration to a relatively benign country with a large asian population drove up the prices there to points where in some cases it’s more expense than new york city. Not to mention that also 1 USD is worth less than 1 CAN….

    Sucks to hold on to greenbacks, doesn’t it?

    Back to cars….Car companies will just open factories here in the US or increase their production capacity here if their currency is stronger than the USD…

    BMW SUV/CUV productions into the S.C. plant,
    http://www.bmwusfactory.com/

    and VW is opening a factory in tenesee (which UAW is desperately trying to unionize…Oh god no, please).

    And Hyundai and Kia have been increasing capacity in their respective capacities in their factories in the southern states in the u.s. Pretty soon, it will be cheaper to produce here than abroad 🙂
