Well at least you didn’t post the last paragraph.
You can still hang around.
The only way one could lose money in the market over the last 30 years is either by:
1) Putting all of one’s eggs in one basket.
2) Liquidating at the bottom of the cycles.
3) Trying to beat the computers in day trading.
4) Playing losers games like commodities, naked shorts, etc.
Blue Chips have almost doubled over the last 5 years (yes, I know the indexes are rigged, and even how they are rigged, but they still are reflective of the upward trend) and the broad market has done almost as well (S&P not quite doubled, Russell slightly better than double as of today).
As for Social Security, one can really hurt one self by aggressive tax avoidance strategies. But last I saw, they were still making payments.
from under us...

Got done early, I see.
When I was a young 50 we lost a great deal in the stock market....we kept at it and fought our way back. From that experience we learned a lot about what to do and what not to do in the market. We are doing quite well now but I check the market multiple times a day. There are no quarantees in this world but life is precious....no matter how rough you have had it you still have each other.....enjoy what ever you have!!!

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

‘Is that you, Mr. Dangerfield?’
one of many Rodneyisms I’ve appropriated over the years...
Probably had it in equities and then shifted it all into money market funds once the markets had crashed. Pretty typical behavior for the people that can never seem to get ahead, and then post diatribes about how unfair life is.
I wish MY car was that new.
You may already know this trick, but the paint holds up a lot better if you don't wash your car (at least in places where they don't salt the roads).
I wonder if this is how the Romans felt when Nero became emperor?
Isn’t TP the abbreviation for TyPo.
Live is not always easy. One has to suck it up and move on.
For those willing to sacrifice and save ... our generation has been blessed with a great time to invest. Incredible run over the last 40 years for the long term investor. Social Security is still there and paying out every month.
However now we get into new socialist territory so all bets are off.
I opened it just fine. No issues!
Read later.
This was written on the 8th. Soooo much has happened since then.
Criminal, leftist democrats will never stop, folks. We have to stand up against them at ever turn.

The nation most of grew up in is dead. We now live in its decomposing corpse.
This is not the constitutional republic founded by the Founding Fathers. It’s gone.
Try to make the best of it & hope for a revival.
Going Galt seems like a more intelligent move than doggedly standing in the way of an irresistible force.
That is a good rant. I hope she gets to a better place mentally, in time.
LOL, true
Not reading this blog pimp tripe. The patriots didn’t give up.
