News / Politics "The Old Boys' Network. In the McCain Campaign That's Called A Staff Meeting."

Posted by Matt Davis on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 9:51 AM

If you're anything like me, you've been depressed to pick up a newspaper the last few days. But no more! A New York Times/CBS poll shows Obama has regained a 5 point lead over McCain amongst registered voters, and that there's huge concern about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's fitness to be vice president.

What a relief. It somehow makes the fact that my IRA lost $450 in a single day yesterday somewhat more bearable. If only I'd donated the money last week, I could have helped Obama with it...

Matt, you should have a daily post about investing because I had no idea an IRA could lose money. The value of my index fund portfolio is down 12 percent from six months ago, though.

Been there done that mate. Buy property, and if not, always read the small print. That's all I'd be saying...

Also, the banks always win.
