(3,894 posts)and even so not available to many average folks that don't actually understand or have a say in how their pension funds are handled. Not all are individual 401K's, right? Though on the decline it does seem that large pension funds also have no "safe" place to store money and keep up with the cost of living. So I understand the illusion of the markets, I just think the problems are not nearly solved, the corruption is rampant, and most that are small investors, individual 401K holders, etc, will ultimately get screwed en masse with one of the next strategically placed crashes, each which will be used to justify even more pension funds dying in bankruptcy, thousands more losing their homes and nest eggs, not being able to pay medical bills, . . . . before a magical recovery in spite of questionable data, and loop te loop we go.
