We'll see how long it lasts, the employment numbers are due out tomorrow, aren't they? That could have a negative impact...

My bank's 401k vested balance is steadily raising, as is my bank's stock.

Just need another year or two of this :)

I've gotten very spoiled with all the rebate offers that come with a bad economy.

i just checked my 401k balance, and it's up more than 20% for the year so far! woo hoo~ i think i posted just a few weeks ago that my balance was up by more than 10%, and it has gone up quite a bit since. i'm glad i've been maxing out my 401k.

that sucks.

Everytime the stock market goes down as a whole, my stock goes up. Everytime the stock market goes up as a whole, my stock goes down. :|

how much of your money do you have tied up in your company's stock? If they are not restricted shares, you should probably try to sell out of them to be safe.

I gotta get a book on the stock market. Wall Street (the movie) made me a wannabe.
