With the stock market going down these days, many Chinese people lose money in it. and I am one of them. When the stock market drops everyday, I am getting more and more devastated and depressed. But still, I am lucky, compared to a Chinese guy who turned impotent for his loss of money in stock market.
He found himself have a hard time getting a hard-on last month, and that was when he lost a lot of money in the stock market. He couldn't help combining the impotent thing and the stocks, and he finally knew what's going on with his thing.
This guy thought that the most impotent thing in the world was money, and now he found something more important than money, But too lat, he lost them.
If I were a man, I might have turned impotent those days. Thank God, I am a woman, so I don't have to go through the terrible consequence. |

| You don't lose money in the stock market until you sell your stock, so if the market is going down, it's best to stop looking! |

Easier said than done  If that guy hadn't watched the stock market, he wouldn't have been impotent. But he just couldn't help watching. I guess this is the weakness of human being. Most of the time, we are greedy. |

There are drugs available for that now. (Impotence - not the stock market). Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are the names of three that keep cropping up in my spam folder.
You don't lose money unless you sell. Some people wait until the market taks and then buy stock at depressed prices. |

You tempted me into checking my retirement savings account. It lost 14% since last November!  Ouch.
But it is still up 16% since 2006, so all is not lost.  And I won't retire for 25 more years anyway, so plenty of time to recover from this nasty case of stagflation.

Good news! Yesterday my stock went up a little, and I got some of my money back!! Hopefully, I will get all of it back in 3 months.
Isn't that exciting? Stock game is fun! |

The only thing that interferes with my love life is a rug rat that comes between me and my missus.

That's even worse than the loss of money! |
