I am like most Americans just a worker bee now retired...no govt pension just what I saved and my company contributed too, which isn't much....

I recently moved my "portfolio" to an Ed Jones account from Fidelity....

but honestly, I don't have really down home advice...

are most freepers still in the market?

No... went to cash or preferred when the SP5OO dropped below 200 day moving avg! Will wait for positive momentum to step back in over 3-4 months to avoid whiplash. Good time to add gold/silver to the portfolio, at least 10 to 20%... just my $0.02.... ymmv
