Do you mean 3/4´s of a point, or a 75% decrease? That would be rough.

4. None - in fact it's gone up a little.
That's because it's all in a bond fund -- pulled it out of stocks a long time ago.

Your probably buying non-dollar currencies at a good time, as the dollar is so high now. Good move.

9. I'm glad I like my job,
because at the rate my account is going, I'm going to be working until I drop dead.
