Be careful not to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. The stocks you hold are ownership shares of prosperous and profitable businesses. "Getting out" means exchanging them for cash, which is another name for US dollars. No Thanks.!!

Ownership of shares means you get all the benefits afforded to the shareholders by the company. I don't "care" how many "counterfeit" shares are issued, so long as I am assured of those benefits. (The companies you own do not guarantee market prices... just benefits, which means ultimate dividends. It is the promise of those benefits that give shares true value, not market prices). (all IMHO)

Personally, I think one has to diversify as much as possible. For retirement planning, I wouldn't keep it all in stocks, rather have a mix of government bonds, municipal bonds (outside of tax favored accounts), etc.

If the system does break, there will be little escape. The good thing IMO is that the moneyed interests need to be able to have retail investors around so that they can manipulate. That's a check on plummeting prices.
