Kenneth, I'm hoping that the 60% will eventually reconsider and invest in stocks of companies with squeaky clean balance sheets, driving their stock prices to overvalued, so they can be downgraded on valuation. :) >A Gallup Poll released last week found that 6 in 10 investors said that corporate and accounting fraud now make them reluctant to invest in the stock market."< Gottfried

Yeah, my brother said he is through with the stock market. He now has 50% of his assets in bonds and the other 50% in money market funds. He makes enough money that he doesn't really need to worry about making money on his money in order to have a healthy retirement, but I still think it isn't the smartest thing to do when you still have a time horizon of 15 years or greater. I for one am just following good asset and category allocation strategies to minimize my losses during these down years. When the good years come back, we will be well positioned.
