Excellent points, Wayners. Social security is security for the federal government and their friends; nothing more. Equity and bond markets are only "too risky" for idiots who do not know what they're doing. Of course, that doesn't reflect negatively upon knowledgeable investors who are defrauded by the likes of MF Global, Bear Stearns, etc. That $hit could happen to any of us through no fault of our own, for the same reason that one cannot always anticipate an armed robbery. One can manage the risk to an extent, but in the end, all variables cannot be accounted for. -ng-
