Lastly told all family and friends who are retired or over 65 to go to 100% cash last week. Selling everything from equity funds to bond funds.

Sure. So they can scoop up their equities at a bargain and ride them back up later on. Lot of elderly folks will fall for it.

Silver is down almost half a buck.

Time to buy more.

We’re 70 and 75 ... two weeks ago we switched all but 10% of our IRA funds out of the index funds we were in. We’re way too old to speculate on anything now; we don’t have much in the IRA anyway, no sense in losing it. We were able to put the funds into a guaranteed 4.5% interest fund that we opened back in 1970-something. That’s an amazing rate at this point, so we’re happy.
