[Squinch]

3. I got out in February 2018. I'm ahead!

[edhopper]

4. Probably not

it dropped in early 2018, was lower in Feb.

[Squinch]

5. No. I am. Given what I moved to and what I was invested in, I'm doing much better than I would

have if I hadn't made the change.

[edhopper]

6. Good to hear

I thought you were saying you got out ahead of where the Dow is now.

I am very diversified myself.

7. So NOT MAGA!!11!

Just read where the asshole-who-thinks-he’s-in-charge is blaming all the pandemic issues and fallout on Obama and his administration.

Get that psycho out of the WH!

8. That Obama caused this

9. Just like my rollover IRA

established at that time, when I rolled over my 401K. Other than a brief stint in a targeted retirement fund that I quickly got my ass out of, and only sustained about a thousand dollars of loss, it's been in a money market fund that doesn't really go up or down.

The market is for gamblers.

10. There has been a war on savings

since Bush. It used to be you could get a decent return on savings. But cheap money for corporations was deemed more important than people. Pushing people into investing makes Wall St. happy.

11. The only way to prepare for retirement

is to live on less than you make, and save up as much as you can in places that don't lose money. There's no easy path to a dignified retirement.

12. True

in this country
