>> For people planning to retire in 10 years, or to live more than 10 years whether retired
or not, historically there hasn't been a better place to put one's money than the
market. (S&P 500, e.g.) I believe that more people are better informed than ever
before. Hopefully, this will allow many of them to make appropriate decisions.<<

That's what everyone intellectually knows. But when that magic "how much am I worth?" number turns down, after climbing steadily for literally years, I think we're likely to be reminded that humans are driven by their emotions at least as strongly as by their brains.
