You can tell I'm well padded.

Anyone have GAS?

Decent yield. Just a distributor? OR???

Well, I took a $13-1400 hit the other day when I sold all my LU shares. Going through divorce, so I needed the money. Oh well, better days are ahead!

What's up P, Groucho and the rest of the gang?!?!?
 
I'm good. I thought LU would pop with the buyout. But no luck.

Divorce? Huh? How the heck are you? - long time, no read.

I'm holding my own in one chunk of my portfolio, the other (mutual funds) I'm getting hammered.
 
Z, good to see you back. As the stewards of your thread, we've been doing our best to keep it going. Sorry about the divorce; as we traders always say, keep your winners and cut loose your losers....

I bought into GE again, still say it's a buy under 33. It'll take off one of these days.
 
I like to invest in mid and small caps... regardless of the market conditions, I seem to do the best with these - as would be expected, compared to the typically more secure and slower moving big companies.

This fund seems worth a good look - seems to have held its own as best as one could expect through some rocky points:

All of that said, if you dont have an ING direct type savings account, Id open one right away. Probably if I were you and sitting on that cash, Id put $5-7k into ING, so Im earning close to 5% interest, yet have more ready cash for whatever 'just in case' might pop along (necessary if, based upon the way 'comfortable' sounds, youll be meeting your current bills, but not much else), and then stick the rest into a fund like that, or a couple funds, maybe 10k in that, 10k in the s&P index, and $10k into the bond fund for maintenance.
