But I'm 71, retired for about five years now, so I likewise don't have years left in the job market. But I probably do have 20 plus years left to live with or on my money.

I did express myself poorly. What I was responding to was what seems to be a sentiment of selling all equities, which may very well not be what any of the any of the posters meant.

Taking a closer look at my account statement (my various investments are all in one statement), it looks like about a third to a half of my money is in bonds, the rest in equities with a small amount in cash. It's been years since I've bought individual stocks, but I'd never criticize that.
