        • scchan.2009: If Mr Market is being stupid (which he has a knack of doing so), we should take advantage of it. ;-) This is indeed good time to add IBM.

        • jamesmhood: Great minds think alike! I added to IBM. It is a great long term value.

                it's weird reading annual reports where companies brag about "passing the costs on to consumers" when I'm on the consumer side too. $KO $PG

                                            Is it me, or are Roth IRA limits kind of low? Instead of the $5,000-$6,000 range, shouldn't they be about $15,000 annually?
