700 billion 的Bail out和我们的家--昨晚和先生讨论没结果

本帖于 2008-09-24 09:38:55 时间, 由普通用户 BayFamily 编辑

早在今年4月份,看到第1季度的401K报告,就在MSN  MONEY发了一个问题,请求各方面能人给予解答,之后的两天有6千多人读贴,跟贴也上百。总结一下,我所能够做和应该做的:什么也别做-JUST SIT TIGHT 原贴在此 (posted by me: alliwantihave):

Just received my Q1'08 401k statament ...and boy am I in shock!  As a mother of three young kids who drives 3 hrs per day for a full-time job, it just kills me to see my hard-earned money going down the drain like that. 

 

I contribute the max allowed 10% of my salary each month to my 401k, which is about $300/mo.  My statement of 1st quarter showed a loss of $3500, that about 11 months of my contribution!  How am I ever going to get that money back? Here is my protafolio:

52.76% growth

42.48% growth & income

4.76 bond

 

I'm in my late 30s, don't own any other stocks or investments, and have never been a risk taker financially all my life.  Is my current 401k investment mix totally wrong?

 

Desperately need your help!!!!! Thanks a million in advance.

就这么过了又一个季度,几星期前FANNIE FREDDIE被联邦BAIL OUT,上周LEHMAN BRO 破产,紧接着AIG 告急,我们都没有一个不眠之夜,原因很简单: 除了401K和先生的PENSION计划,我们没有别的股市投资。 前些天,还合计着要不要年底前多付2K给房贷,因为CD的利息低的几乎没有。还不如付给房贷的本金,可以减少付款年限和利息。

 

可是,昨天(9/23/08)听到FED要出700BILLION去BAIL OUT华尔街,却引发了我和先生的一场讨论。别的不提,就说这纳税人的700BIL还包含给华尔街CEO总裁们的PAY  PACKAGE,就不能不让平时很平静的先生出离愤怒了。这些CEO们在房市高涨的时候,赚的钱不是我们一般贫民百姓能想象到的多,现在搞成如此的烂摊子,还要再下台前挣上一把,因为是他们和FED谈了努力了,才要到这个BAIL  OUT。

 

7千亿美元的BAIL OUT,最大的受益人不是平民百姓纳税人,而是这些投资银行的股东们。多少人因为付不起房贷而失去了房子失去了家,BAIL OUT 并不能使他们重返家园。

 

所以,等孩子们都睡觉后,讨论来讨论去,还是不知道该做些什么--房贷决定不多付了,搞不好过几天我们的房贷公司跨了,我们就不用付剩下的房款了呢?!
