"do you really think for one second 0 is a real possibility" For the last 100 years, there has not been that possibility. Slowly but surely, however, the nuts and fruitcakes of the world have been getting closer and closer to laying their hands on weapons of mass destruction. When the right (wrong) one of them does, one of these psychopaths with NO regard for human life will use it. Every expert that has an ounce of sense has said it is if, not when. Let a nuclear or unknown biological device be detonated in the USA, and you will watch that 1750 be chopped in half. And the other half you won't be able to lay your hands on. So, for all practical purposes, it will be a fat goose egg. Never before a possibility, but now it is. Anyone who totally dismisses this reality is not only an optimist, but a fool as well. Never forget that all wall street analysts and CNBC commentators are PAID to do their best to have you put all your extra earned money in the stock market. They have NO other agenda. I remain, SOROS ps The stock market is not as old as civilization. It, too, could pass.

Not a bad position for 20 years 20 years from now this country will be either bankrupt or miserable thanks to social security and medicare underfunding. My time horizon is considerably shorter than that.
