jpmac, It applies. It also applies to any other aspect of business(if we limit it to business) There can be accounting questions, general finance questions, etc. It can be related to wanting to start your own business and having the confidence to go ahead with it because you feel you have the knowledge. Or it can be as basic as understanding the information and advice that others give you. Mark

When thinking of pulling money out of SS and having people invest it themselves for their retirement, If anybody has any links as to what the proposals actually are here I'd love to see them. Its hard to believe letting everybody invest their money any way they choose is a good idea. I know of at least 10 people here on SI, who I consider to be knowledgable investors, who lost considerable sums of money shorting Amazon last year. If you are an employee of Cisco for example, they don't let you invest your own 401K money in a brokerage acct. You have a choice of their stock, or a few mutual funds. It seems to me that would be the most agressive option for SS... no doubt the mutual fund industry is lobbying heavily too.
