For those who hung on, the stocks are back and many exceeding levels before the downturn. A lot of smart investors put money into the market when it neared bottom, and have happily ridden the rise.

(Doesn't bother me, I haven't played with stocks for years. But a son was worried when his portfolio went down by half, but now he's happy again. It evens out).

The advertising that is invading everything is a bother, to say the least. Even in Mudcat, the advs. with some threads are a nuisance. I have stayed away from Facebook, Leeneia, several friends have been inundated.
