So what that means larry retired is that the stocks in the mutual funds in these accounts are on sale...Its time to buy more...You know "dollar cost averaging" "buying low"...Stay the course....

Exactly! And I'm sure the pension funds are doing the same.

That was great, I hadn't seen that before. And, by the way, I went on the website and signed the petition.

Hey Mr. Boxboss, Big organizing meeting this weekend with Fed-EX. It's being held at your favorite local. That's right 63. I extend a warm invitation for you. You can be our guest speaker. Your testimony just might help get enough cards signed. Be sure to use my description of the business agents in your presentation. (militant) Sounds like some of the management at Fed-Ex needs a little militant persuasion. Teamster Elvis out....

Pass, Elvis...got much much better things to do...FedEx has their own problems...Let me know how "big" the turnout is...Since they have in excess of 25,000 employees, I'm not sure big will qualify...But somehow 63 will make 50 look like 5000...they'll bring some of the homeless off the street to dress it up some, I am sure...they are entertaining if nothing else..I remember in 94 during the strike in front of CF in Mira Loma when they had their members lay down in the street to block it...until one of them got run over...and I couldn't help but think that I was sure glad I was able to speak for myself..Thankfully, the victim only had a broken leg and some bruising..nobody else seemed interested in laying in the street afterward..
