There has been some debate as to whether the boomers will have a negative effect on the market as they draw down their investments. Although there is some risk, I doubt that it will have a major effect.

Could be. But if you weren't in, you missed a hell of a run.

It's reason/example #46329 why Market timing, or trying to guess Bulls and Bears, highs and lows, whatever is not a good idea IF you're a long term investor.

Yes, you got hammered in '08, and it certainly made a LOT of people plenty gun shy and with good reason. But, if you pulled out then and parked it all on the sideline?

Ruh roh.

That is exactly why as you age you convert to less volatile investments.

and why so many will get hosed on a 20 year flat line/downward tick moving forward....one day she ends....the only thing carrying this market is your 401k....you have to be a DA to not have figured that out....and it's not too far around the corner before the fundamentals crash and burn.....if one simply looks at how money is manipulated, it becomes increasingly easier where to put it....never eggs in any one basket...

tulips....smell 'em and remember.....

High inflation.

Zero percent interest driving all money out of personal savings into somewhere -- anywhere -- where it can actually have a shot of beating inflation.

What's so amazing?

That money will be coming home soon.

That's is going to be the greatest wealth transfer in human history. Taxes will go up. Millennials will support a smaller Gen X group retirement. Life is good.

did the laureates factor in the escalating dippos coupled with extending life expectancy in that dialogue? that's a fair question (the one I'm assuming) in debate at this point....

I see it as a simple siphon to the Rx....there are many now that are soon to be few that can subsidize in return....

I only see numbers and potential moving forward with this one....I can't drive it to 1 (long term).....maybe that's my shortcoming....
