Comments on: All That Money You Lost - Where Did It Go?

Surprise! It Was Never Really Money In The First Place

[incog-nito]

The argument that "you only lose if you sell now" is a false one. For one thing, some people do need to sell now. Maybe because they''re retiring and need to withdraw to their 401K, or maybe they have to as a last resort due to job loss, health care costs or some other financial hardship. Also, you cannot make an argument based on some future unknown. There''s no telling what will happen when you sell later. You might win, lose, or break even. What is known now, is that a lot of people have lost a lot of money from their investments. That''s a fact.

Who is the real Sarah Palin?

Why doe she refuse to answer any questions regarding her close ties and collaboration with known terrorists?


-Why did Sarah Palin and her husband Todd pal around with known anti-American terrorist Joe Vogler? Joe Vogler is the founder of the anti-American terrorist group, the Alaskan Independence Party. Sarah Palin and her husband have been members of the terroristic Alaskan Independent Party for nearly two decades. The (AIP) has repeatedly called for the murder of all American citizens and the total destruction of the United States of America. The (AIP) has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings of government buildings in Alaska dating all the way back to the 1970%u2019s. Joe Vogler first introduced Sarah Palin to politics and was widely regarded as her mentor and closest confidante until his death. In a 1991 interview currently housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Vogler is recorded as saying "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won''t be buried under their *** flag. I''ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Sarah Palin is a terrorist sympathizer who condones the murder of innocent civilians.

World Bank Under Cyber Siege in ''''Unprecedented Crisis''''
The World Bank Group''''s computer network %u2014 one of the largest repositories of sensitive data about the economies of every nation %u2014 has been raided repeatedly by outsiders for more than a year, FOX News has learned.

It is still not known how much information was stolen. But sources inside the bank confirm that servers in the institution''''s highly-restricted treasury unit were deeply penetrated with spy software last April. Invaders also had full access to the rest of the bank''''s network for nearly a month in June and July.

In total, at least six major intrusions %u2014 two of them using the same group of IP addresses originating from China %u2014 have been detected at the World Bank since the summer of 2007, with the most recent breach occurring just last month.

In a frantic midnight e-mail to colleagues, the bank''''s senior technology manager referred to the situation as an "unprecedented crisis." In fact, it may be the worst security breach ever at a global financial institution. And it has left bank officials scrambling to try to understand the nature of the year-long cyber-assault, while also trying to keep the news from leaking to the public.

This post keeps getting removed! wonder why?

[sparks224]

No, there is not enough blame to go around.

The blame falls squarely with the conservatives and their (regulations are always bad) philosophy.

I moved away from Europe to get away from Socialism. And now the wealthy of this country are doing everything within their power to institute a socialist society that will only benefit them. And 99% of the general public is doing nothing. Guess it is time I think about moving again.

You only lose if you sell at this point....It''ll all come back eventually...Just sit tight and don''t panic, folks....I''ve been there done that the last time this happened...The market came back stronger than ever.

Well, if your business revolves around sell dictionaries, take some advice and READ one of them. You might discover the difference between the words "loose" and "lose".

This is horse-feathers. They want to protect the Wall Street billionaires from having to pay for this financial debacle. These guys should have their wealth confiscated. Otherwise the losses all fall on the middle class. Income taxes and property taxes for the average person will become confiscatory.

Oh yeah, there''s one other aphorism...

"Life is what you make of it."

[hypnotoad72]

OU OWE the difference. Similarly if you''''''''re contributing regularly to your 401K and your portfolio dropped by 30%, YOU LOST that money. Somebody sold the shares to you (or your mutual fund manager) at the higher price before the drop. For every dollar somebody lost, somebody else gained.

Well, you know what they say, "life is a gamble".

And, for the moment, those poker chips are now worth less than cow chips.

The bringing of America to her knees has been orchestrated since at least the turn of the 20th century. WWI, the so called great depression, WWII, the more recent stock market crashes, 911, Iraq/Afganistan,the $700 billion dollar bailout were planned and carried out by a cabal of super megalomaniacs who are super rich and bored and can be stimulated only by finding a way to "control" the world through financial means. A seriously dangerous game of "global" chess.

What a crock.

Imaginary money?

Maybe "perceived profits" are phantom, but people bought all these stocks with real federal reserve notes.

On CBS%u2019s Sunday Morning, your commentary really hit home. I am part of the world out there that does want a change in the way we operate everything from the Government to the Insurance companies to Wall Street which currently it all seems to relate to GREED. If you don%u2019t get caught, it is not wrong is a philosophy that seems to be accepted in our most honored and sacred institutions. A car salesman is more reliable then a banker. We get new leaders but really things go on the same because it is the people underneath the new leaders who run things and influence the new leader and lull them in to compliance with the status quo this is especially true in the Government which is now such a large buearacy, nothing gets done.

Total B.S. The money you lost is not just a figment of your imagination. Say you bought a house for $300K at the height of the housing boom, that money went to the seller, whether it''''s an individual or a home builder. If it''''s only worth $200K now, YOU OWE the difference. Similarly if you''''re contributing regularly to your 401K and your portfolio dropped by 30%, YOU LOST that money. Somebody sold the shares to you (or your mutual fund manager) at the higher price before the drop. For every dollar somebody lost, somebody else gained.
