the stock market keeps going
down – no end in sight.
I should be worried,
but when you have no money,
doesn’t matter much
So I’m happy ‘cuz
there’s nowhere to go but up.
Positive thinking.
If everyone’s going to report doom and gloom on TV, I’m going to try to look on the bright side for once. I don’t own any individual stock, and my 401k was small to begin with. The market is just coming down to an affordable level so that when we have money again we can invest. Or at least that’s what I’m going to tell myself.
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.
REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
i’ve joined the nowhere to go but up club, too! the doom and gloom attitude does nothing for me.
I’m hoping that you are right!
What a great way to think about. Now I feel better that we’re poor. ;P

Great Haiku — I’ve been feeling the same way lately!
I hope that you’re right, too!
Great haiku, and great attitude. 🙂
Definitely something on everyone’s minds lately.
Yup … wise way to respond … except I just heard that the market is down more than 500 points this morning … AGAIN! One wonders just how far it will fall before it stabilizes.
I try to be ‘optimistic’ about all things, but as an older retired woman … it’s a challenge sometimes to remain positive. This week I’ve celebrated my 1st Blogoversary at Small Reflections and Sacred Ruminations and this morning I’ve posted Haiku on both of my blogs. Just call me crazy … hope you’ll drop by. Have a delightful day and a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and blessings,
HAVE to stay positive. Nice haiku. 🙂
Exactally right!!!
For the last couple years I’ve been feeling bad about myself because I too had little invested. Now? Not so much ’cause I haven’t lost anything! I have a little cash squirrled away so when it’s down some more I’ll start.
I love the way you think. I keep telling my husband this proves that it was a good thing I had to cash out my 401K last year because if I hadn’t it might have been lost now!
I am always looking for the silver lining that way.
Great haiku!! I’ll be thinking of it when I get worried about gloom and doom market news.
I agree, nowhere to go but up. 🙂
We’ll see how it goes though 😉
I’m a lot older. I used to have money. Not a lot, but some. No more.
I like your positive thinking.
Sounds good to me! I like the haiku too.
Nice way to look at things…up is better than down
Good, healthy attitude!
To be honest, I’m more like the ostrich with its head in the sand. It’s kind of easy, being stationed in Germany. I’m not completely surrounded by newspapers and news on tv (they are there, they’re just easier to ignore because there are fewer of them.) 😉
When I do think about it, my attitude has been more like “there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it, so worrying will only give me an ulcer. And I really don’t want an ulcer. So I’m going to try not to worry.”
(and I know it’s Saturday, but I posted a haiku. I hope you don’t mind that I added my link to Mr. Linky. I didn’t get to it yesterday…)
I’m with you. I absolutely REFUSE to look at any of my reports. I don’t own stock but I have other small investments and I just won’t look…whatever will be, will be!
