How to Invest During a Recession

Black Tuesday its tomorrow.

 

Market will be Brutal.

 

You can take that to the Bank

[John Galt]

I'll be hitting 24 this year. Started up an IRA this last month, I don't think I could have picked a worse time.

 

Full time jobs, paying rent, working on your day off, planning ten years ahead when you don't even want to plan ten minutes ahead...

[Bojangles]

How bout gas bills???

 

You guys have to heat your houses and live up north like me?

 

Fuck.

 

$300 or so dollars a month. That's my gold teeth and Daytons money down the drain.

[HESHIANDET]

dudes sweating the market,

IRA's are always sound anytime. trust.

[GucciCondom]

I clocked $300 in gas for my whip last month. Fuck...

[iloveboxcars]

Huh. I always thought ILB was older.

 

i will take this as a compliment. thanks.

[earl broclo ESQ]

I'm in on all of this!

 

Hair in funny places? Shit, my ears look like Willie Nelson's braids if I don't pluck them, which I hate to admit I do. Sometimes I pull full tree branches from my nostrils. I get winded when I tie my fucking shoes, and while winded I grunt like a fucking warthog because my fucking gut is pushing on my diaphragm. I work 40+ hours a week, just so I can afford to have someone else do my laundry. After working a full 8+ hour day, I tend to go home, make dinner, and instantly say "I need a fucking drink." After I make my (insert booze here) and (mix here), I sit down and zone out on a box that makes me stupid as each minute passes. How the fuck did I get sucked into "A shot at love with Tila Tequilla?" In my younger years, "going out" meant getting crazy, doing something stupid, and hoping I didn't end up in jail, beat down, or dead. Now, "going out" means dinner parties at friends houses, sushi with my ladyfriend, or a live band where I feel "old" because I'm usually sober and can't relate to fashion statements and all that bullshit.

 

Here's some shit that puts some of us apart from others:

 

--We didn't grow up on the internet

--We watched black and white shows in syndicate (and not episodes of "friends" or "Seinfeld" --we saw those first run)

--We remember Pre-Cable TV, and how to work an antenna so we can get Roller Derby or WWF on Saturday mornings

--We had creature double feature and kung-fu theater, not "The O.C." or "The Hills" (this might only have been on Boston)

 

Feel free to add to this list.

[PLEZO1SON]

danm, i dont fit any of of the credentials of being a grown ass man. but at 26 i am feeling the efx if it. i do take care of my lil on the daily tho..........so i think i would be a grown ass man mom.............my knees , , proly from skating, beer gut from drinking, grey hair from legal problems,

[MitchThe$nitch]

I just turned 31. Majority of the adolescent bs is behind me, except for a few things here and there. I got a girl, a mortgage, and a job. My left knee hurts for no reason sometimes. I sit in a cubical all day.

 

Grown - Check.

I got a few

 

-We had maybe 5 computers in our entire school, they were apples, we played oregon trail on them and nothing else.

 

-We grew up with Atari - and were teenagers when Nintendo came around.

 

-Laser tag was rad - not sure if that is still around or what

[MitchThe$nitch]

Ohhh, and another.

There was not "internet graff beef"

If there was any - it was via party lines or real beef on the streets.

 

-I saw gleaming the cube in the theaters

-Also saw ET in the theaters..

[Zoes]

The entire market is down 4% this morning

Where's my fucking bourbon?!

[earl broclo ESQ]

I saw Gleaming the Cube in theaters, then went home and did what we always did, built a kicker out of plywood and bricks.

 

I saw Goonies in theaters, and threw brownies at the screen while watching it. "hit chunk" then my friends and i would unload the brownies my mother gave me to take to the movies.

 

Nintendo came out when i was in fifth or sixth grade though --and i'm 33. Sega Genesis was the teenage thing for me.

 

Lazer tag always sucked for me, i never had it, and my friends who did could never get it to work.

I have hairs growing in my eyebrows that are super long like a crazy old person that shit gets plucked.

I remember the home computer boom starting with spectrum and stuff

The birth of Nintendo NES and all those consoles

I remember when they always had to use puppets in films as CGI was non existant

 

You know yourt getting older when you see the same fads coming around every few years and you think oh god not those they were crap the first time round!!

[Milk Grenades]

i've been living on my own for over 10 years now, paying my bills, college graduate, working 40 hr./wk job, and making peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunches at 7 in the morning.

[wayne hits]

i was doing graffiti well before CAN CONTROL came out.

my first movie i saw as a kid was JAWS. (i was like 3)

my 1st grade class watched the CHALLENGER blow up live on tv.

[podrido]

ive been living solo since i was 19.

 

but lets recap the past a bit shall we.

i had never watched cable tv until 1993 then my mom cut it off up until 1997.

i remember owning a black and white television.

i remember constant beeper and public phone usage.

-want to leanr something. go to the library. want to find a book. go through the library card book index thing.

-i remeber double creature feature -sunday was godzilla movie day.

-tgif only shit to watch on fridays/ lame shows like- americas funniets home vids, family matters etc etc

-i remember my first encounter with graffiti was when i was like 7 and my cousins friend who i was told draws. showed me my first full color piece. all i said to him was "what does ti say i cant read it" 7 yrs later i had a "tag"

- metal lunch boxes

- metal toys

- commodore 64

- nes ()didnt haver one till 1991

[earl broclo ESQ]

--i watched the challenger explode in 6th grade.

--we didn't have the web, so we'd get psyched when we'd find porn mags someone else threw away in the woods.

--metal lunch boxes --most definitely remember that. i hit a bully with one in kindergarten.

--home computers, i used to have to upload games from a tape deck.

--i spent many a car trip reading comic books, highlight magazines, and playing this thing (one on the far left):

 

 

--before there was cable, there was "preview." my grandfather had it, and i thought i was badass because i saw nudity in "flashdance." i can't even remember if it was real nudity.

 

 

kids today, thanks to the internet, they've seen double anal donkey fucking by the age of 7. i remember when "hardbodies" was worth staying up until 1am for:

 

 

funny thing is, i don't feel "old." i think our generation definitely found a certain aspect of the fountain of youth.

[earl broclo ESQ]

another blast from the past:

 

how many of you remember presto-magics?

 

 

you used to be able to buy them in individual packs at places like drugstores, toy shops, and grocery stores.

 

then there were colorforms:

 

[Tear1personality]

arthritis(sp?) is some grown ass man shit, aint it.

[EGG]

--we didn't have the web, so we'd get psyched when we'd find porn mags someone else threw away in the woods.

 

i miss this time :lol: what is too easy to find/do lose interest

[earl broclo ESQ]

ahh fuck the broken links above. sorry about that.
