Not me. For once, I wound up on the top side of of the roller coaster! I have a relative that works in finance, and I basically let him run our portfolio to give him a jump start in his new career (1st job fresh out of college). He put us heavily into euros and euro-based companies, so we are making good profits (as for dollar comparison) now. He has done really well by us and others, and has been extremely energetic in responding to trends...doesn't want to put his uncle in the po' house! We are buying some US stocks now with the $ profits, for long term growth. Even looking for the occasional buy in real estate, just for flip sales later on. SOOOO, once it has all settled in a new toy budget can be derived....somewhere after my wife's and each of my 2 kids'.
