I am still putting my full deductions into my IRA, and 403b acct. I thought about increasing my other mutual fund but will sit tight for now. I also have the divident reinvestment with my ups stock. With the stock in the crapper I get twice as many shares each quarter now than I did before.

I got out of the market years ago. I only hold tangible, liquid assets. Stocks, bonds, currencies...are worthless paper. The gold coins, silver bars, platinum ingots, ammunition and other items in my safe have tangible and trade or barter value. The land and livestock and the seeds I have are valuable because they will feed my family. The rest are worthless when the dollar crashes

I'm still putting money in my 401K. It's a bargain now. I can buy 3 times as many shares as I could 2 years ago.
