4plex, I have to agree with you now but I’m pained to say that I should have known this earlier. My mom warned me about a year ago that I shouldn’t have ANY retirement money in stocks and I told her that that’s just the way things work now and we don’t have much of a choice. She was born during the depression so her parents taught her that from a young age. I should have listened.
I think from here on out I’m never ever doing any of these tax-deferred investments again. I’ll just pay the taxes and put my moolah into some concrete things near here, whether it’s land or equipment or businesses or whatever. I might try that microinvesting idea, that seems like a good way to keep our money away from the worthless garbage in the “financial services” industry. What a f***ing joke.
These piece of filth worthless wall st. MBA f***ers that have stolen this country out from under us better hide and hide good because once Joe America figures out where the money went they are gonna go looking for them. Run motherf***ers, run. They should be thinking of Kurt Russell in “Tombstone” right about now…
