-- Posted by Anonymous at 11:00 am on Oct. 22, 2008 The shares of the company my parents work for dropped 34% so far today and their earnings are abysmal. I hope we don't lose our house.  And my mom is pregnant.   I think I might buy a cheap put option on their company as a small insurance policy in case they go under.  Money for the baby, perhaps.  I still have 100oz of silver in the safe, but now would be a horrible time to sell it. -- Posted by superchris4000 at 11:01 am on Oct. 22, 2008 That sucks. Chin up though. It can always be worse. -- Posted by XMariex at 11:01 am on Oct. 22, 2008 I'm so sorry. I'm sure everything WILL get better. -- Posted by switchfoot52 at 11:01 am on Oct. 22, 2008 don't worry. u can go on welfare. -- Posted by MusicalSuicide17 at 11:14 am on Oct. 22, 2008 I hope everything works out for you. Good luck! -- Posted by cienna at 11:28 am on Oct. 22, 2008 go live wire! -- Posted by Mlke at 11:32 am on Oct. 22, 2008 That sucks. =[
