So back in the summer/fall of '08 when the stock market started to tank not even the company I work for was immune. I watched as it dropped from an average of between 18 and 19 dollars to around $5.50. me being the future thinking person that I am knew it would rebound hard relatively quickly, I took out a loan from my 401k and invested it in some stock in my company. I'm not going to go into all the details but I just sold some of it for a nice sum of 10,000 dollars and just got the check in the mail this morning. Off to the bank I go. $$$
