The younger people can make fun of their paper loss because they may have staying power,

Now that's a theory that should die a quick death. Younger folks detest losses just as much as anyone else.In fact they need the capital gains more than the older generation because they have bigger spending plans.

but what about the baby-boomers who are about to retire? Are they too scared to stay in the market now?

To be in the market or not to be in the market is a personal decision. There is always the money market and treasuries for investments. Most of us laughed at these suggestions a year ago. So don't laugh now.

because a meaningful rebound is at least a year away according to those CEOs,

I'm getting lost here. What's a meaningful rebound? Would that be CSCO from 16 to 20?

Good luck, Jerome
