We pulled chunks out of stocks and treaded water. Didn't make anything, but din't lose anything either, which from 2000-2003 was ok with us. Park your funds here with low risk - money markets.

I've had a few suprises that broke the budget. And I thought you had to be in options and commodities to lose more than your original investment g. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
