Wow Mike, you really are being optimistic with your gains percentages. As one of the baby boomers I gotta ask if you're seriously expecting those kinds of gains? And, if so, what sectors are you putting the money into? (marijuana farming does not count!). And something else that's been bugging me for about 10 years now, why do they call you guys "Generation X'ers"? Y'all look pretty normal to me. Seriously, if you want to make good returns off us boomers as we get old, then you have to join all those other yahoos that are trying to figure out what we'll be doing in our golden years. Here's some tips: 1.) Condom manufacturers (yes, your parents still do it and they'll have more time on their hands!) 2.) In-line skates. 3.) Body piercing jewelry as it will take 20 years for us to figure out it's fun. 4.) Rolling Stones memorialbilia as Rock and Roll will never die. 5.) Levi Strauss as they've been cool for the last 50 years, why not 20 more? 6.) Stockpile wood, it'll all be gone by then. 7.) Anything that aids in tracking down terrorists. Best of luck!
