> The Stock Market is Bombing
As of last night, wife and I have lost $13,000 from our meager (and very conservative) retirement account.
Winning?
>Stocks are up 30% since Trump was elected.
Granted, but those gains are nearly erased.
>Place your retirement in safer holdings.
The only safer place is my mattress. We have very little stock market exposure. What would you recommend?
> Best bet is stay invested until ready to retire.
Too late, we are retired. Money's in a managed fund, (TSP) mostly bonds. This is our cash flow as our small farm is paid off but just produces enough beef, fruit and vegetables to keep the grocery bill manageable. Sitting on a little cash as there's no place to put it (safely). Someone mentioned "equities", whatever they are. My "equity" is in equipment, tools, infrastructure, water rights and skills. We're hanging in there, but it still hurts the cash flow.
