16. Finally got to talk to my mother
Thu Nov 8, 2012, 10:01 PM
Nov 2012

She mentions how things are going to be so tough this next year.
Financial Companies are taking off products because the administration is oppressive to business.
Companies like ING and stuff.

I didn't really want to reply, I just let her say whatever she wanted.

Companies will change their products and put out new ones to fit the rule changes.
That is cyclical and will happen often, even in the course of a single year, and multiple times during a term in a Presidency.

It is during the down times, that I tend to invest in stocks, going for limited risk companies that would most likely never disappear.

Just being melodramatic because she didn't get what she wanted.
