Jim,
I finally got around to using that CSS optimization tool.
http://floele.flyspray.org/csstidy//css_optimiser.php
I think it works pretty good.
Total validator liked it
http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/ValidatorForm
and it fixed a couple of problems according to
http://websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
It reduces the size from 4.3 to 3.3 kb (and that wasn’t even the max optimasation; I chose "moderate readability".
You might have to have your computer fairly fresh from turning on your computer becuase if not when you copy the new CSS code from the site (i.e. at 3.3kb) and paste it into a .txt (and then change name to .css) file it may be over 4 kb. It could just be my computer. My site is a little faster becuase now my CSS fits into fewer packets.

Jim,
Interesting indeed – down 508.
Alot of people are worrying becuase they see the vlaue of their statements on their holdings coming way down. So long as the companies they are holding (own stocks on) are solid – not in debt and at least not losing money – this is a GREAT time if they keep buying regularly, becuase 10 years from now all the healthy companies will be back to where they were and now is a great time to get deep discounts on stocks of the company. It’s terrible if youre going to retire in the next year or two.

Jim,
If you own a share of stock that is at $100 a share, it has to go to $200 to double in value – which generally takes a long time. If the stock price of the stock drops to $50 a share through no particular problem of the company – such as what we have now, if you buy more shares of the stock, when the crisis is over and the stock price returns to $100 a share, you’ll have doubled your money on the new shares you bought and the value of your old shares will be the same as before the stock market crisis. When the stock price reaches $200 a share, you’ll have quadrupled your money on your new shares, while your old shares will have only doubled. Now is the time to buy as much as you can afford of stocks in healthy companies. I think the Dow will probably drop another couple weeks and then stocks will rise and the deep discounts stock prices will be gone, probably for another 79 years. (October 29 is only 2 1/2 weeks away. I wonder what’s going to happen).
Those with a 401K and money in healthy comapines (or a group of companies) and not retiring in the next couple of years should be pretty happy, and increase their payroll deduction for their 401k if they can afford it.
Roger
No question that now is the time to buy!
There is always risk, but like you, I’m not going to be one of these people wishing I had purchased stock ‘back then’.
What stocks do you think are a good buy?
Regards,
Jim.
