PACT America :: The Blog: I Bought Some Stock Today

Monday, October 06, 2008

The stock market hasn't been doing too well lately.

I'm definitely not the biggest fan of investing in the stock market, but I bought some stock today. It seems like people are starting to panic, and stocks have been going straight down for a couple of weeks now.

This morning at work, I saw that the market opened way down (again) after Congress passed the $700 billion bailout last week. So I bought all I could while prices were in a near free fall.

I am an American. For richer or poorer, better or worse, this is my country--and Lady Liberty is my girl. I will do my part. If that means buying some stock and keeping my cool while others panic, then I'll buy some stock.

And that's exactly what I did.
