Poll question: Since Lou Dobbs brought this Up, I thought I would do a DU Poll.

Edited on Tue Dec-02-03 08:20 PM by KoKo01

Dobbs had quotes about investors thinking the US Govt. would "bail you out" if you lost in Stocks. "Stocks are Insured" most people think. So, I'm doing a poll, here.

2. No Money can make you poor......but poor can be richer than having money.

(sorry it's my "Old" Southern "Non Fundie" upbringing, here! :D

But, an old expression: "Money doesn't buy happiness" is what I grew up on. Had depression parents......

5. And when I had money

I didn't invest in stocks. Great-grandma took a bath in 1929, and told me the stock exchange was a crooked and risky place.
