market meltdown

[tada]

3 of the big discount brokerages have branches in Honolulu- Schwab,TD Ameritrade and Scottrade. Fidelity had an office but I don't see it anymore. I prefer Ameritrade and Scottrade for their "no maintanence fee" policy and of those 2 I like Ameritrade since they consolidate your limit order fills into 1 block at the end of the day which makes filling out those Schedule D's much cleaner and easier. and I found found out the hard way you better fill out those schedule D's. John R got the right idea- be a long term investor but I gotta "ring the register." The government bleeding billions so the IRS only too happy to swoop down like the vultures they are. I thought I cook the books pretty good for last year so they bust me for not enough withholding with their secret gestapo formula. I gulped when they sent me another letter couple weeks ago but it was only an invitation to send more withholding. suffice to say the way things been going the last couple weeks I won't have to puke another check.

Others want to make friends- I just want to make money.
