They are marching through Annapolis' City Hall, trampling important documents and picking up crumbs. But the ants that have invaded the city's halls of power can roam free - at least as long as Mayor Ellen O. Moyer is at the helm. The city's staff quickly learned that the new mayor's love for animals applies to all creatures great and small. Very, very small. When a secretary in her office proposed hiring an exterminator to get rid of the tiny black ants, Moyer wouldn't hear of it. "They are teeny-weeny little ants," Moyer said.

Like most investors, you've had a painful time this year: You over-indulged in technology stocks and even did some buying on margin. Your brokerage statement now summons up memories of childhood nightmares about the monster under the bed, and your net worth is only a quarter of what it was at the height of the bull market. In fact, that shrunken net worth really rankles: Your goal is to get it all back - and then some - in 12 months. Unfortunately, after a bear market that's eradicated trillions in shareholder wealth, that's just not going to happen, experts say. "It's been my experience that, when you come down as hard as this, it's going to take a couple of years to rebuild confidence" enough for investors to push stocks back up to even a fraction of their one-time highs, says James Hardesty, president of Hardesty Capital Management in Baltimore.
