That's why you have to diversify your portfolio and invest in baby-food. It's good for when you're old and can't afford dental care.

a) I had no idea you were 67

and

b) what makes you think it'll get better in 3 years? Most of the drop is due to oil and to Snow's allowing the dollar to become worthless because it makes our exports go up, which makes him look good. Oil ain't going down, and while Snow will soon be booted, our imports will go down as soon as the dollar heads back up. Best to brace yourself for when OPEC starts trading oil in Euros, possibly by diversifying into baby food...

If OPEC goes to Euros we are so screwed.

No kidding; Chavez is considering trading Venezuelan oil in Euros, that's not going to help, either...
