Many people think this, but the facts are, even given an occasional
dive, stocks return more than iou's from congress. In a dive, you are
only hurt if you bail out. If you hold onto your stocks, they recover.

If you stay in the stock market. I never have believed in buy in hold,
rather buy and follow and sell when the reasons you bought in the first
place change. Just a slight nit to pick (g).


Funds are a little easier to work than individual stocks. Long term
investors usually hold on to good company stocks. If your playing around
your mostly short term. Right now I'm conservative because the market
probably will not got up much over the year, and more likely to go down.
Just because I'm in retirement does not mean I should be so conservative in
the next years.
