Wow, I can't believe I got good 401k news today... like mine rebounded about 1/3 of the ground it previously lost in this latest quarter. Did we have a big stock market recovery and no news outlets covered it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh, thanks, Calli! That idealist especially dovetails into the second half of the searches she's having me do.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Has anyone ever had their speedometer stop working?
Happened to my '94 Saturn about four years ago. If the problem is at the sender end the fix can be fairly quick and easy and cheap. If the problem is at the display end, like mine was, they generally have to replace the whole instrument cluster. It's not hard to do, probably no more than a couple hours' labor, the difficulty is finding the parts.

Ours regained a third, too.

Huh. We're showing gains for the year. That's new.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The markets went up a little today, but nothing crazy, as far as I know.

In about 25 hours, my plane will be taking off for Kathmandu. Pray I don't kill my parents during 2 weeks together. I've been slowly mellowing, but 2 weeks.

It's going to be amazing, sarameg. Just remember to go off on your own once in a while.

Basically, the market went up about 35% from mid-March to mid-June and no one reported it. It's gone down a bit this quarter (since June 30) though.

The speedometer on my Honda will stop working sometimes. It's annoying, but since it works most of the time I haven't worked up the enthusiasm to try to fix it.
