ReplyDeleteCramer did say there is always a bull market somewhere.
Maybe he's got great insight on how to invest in this. I wouldn't know. I try not to watch him.
I don't qualify for food stamps or any free food. But I'm $30,000 underwater on my mortgage. I'm trying to sell 6,000 loaves of bread that I donate to the food bank to get out of my negative equity. It's like a double win. Visit http://6000loaves.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what Cramer has going for him other than a wacky TV show.
Fishysmommy,
You have a compelling story and a creative way of solving it. As a rule, I only donate directly to the local Second Harvest but I sincerely wish you the best. You are not so far underwater that you can't dig yourself out.
