Q. My retirement portfolio has been wrecked by this. How should I respond?

A. Continue to save. Big losses mean you’ll need that much more time, or good news, to bring your balances back to where they need to be for you to retire comfortably. If your employer matches your contributions, this is a great time to take advantage of the largess.

As for whether you should pile into beaten down stocks, no one knows how much further the markets will fall or how long they’ll take to bounce back. But people who move their savings to ultrasafe investments and then leave them there usually miss out on the gains when the markets come back. If you need to do that to sleep at night or avoid stomach ulcers, then do what you have to do. But it may cost you in quality of life come retirement time.

GPhone in October?

Today @ PC World T-Mobile Android Phone Out Today, Comes With Free Gmail

At a glance, G1 features a large touchscreen display with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, a 3-megapixel camera, 3G antenna and Wi-Fi. Even though Google's phone does not look and feel as stylish as Apple's iPhone, it has many chances to capture the hearts of users as the Android OS is open-source (anyone with the right knowledge can create apps for the phone), unlike iPhone, for which Apple strictly controls which apps are available to users.

Sounds cool enough. Wonder if they'll beat Apple/AT&T on pricing and service..?

Mindmapper Extraordinaire

So, I'm testing out this service: Online Mind Mapping - MindMeister, and really enjoying it for all of my scattered projects. In class yesterday we brainstormed TV Show ideas with it, though I wish I could make it go fullscreen. Curious too about embedding. Let's see..


Neat!

Oh no you didn't post that song that sticks in my head..

Seriously, don't watch this, it will stick in your head for days.

I warned you..
