401k PLANS ARE ROOT OF MAJOR PROBLEMS to come. It was created to enhance our cash infrastructure, put money back into businesses. However, too much capital has now built-up. This is what is causing inflated stock prices. The monies from the 401k plans are growing out of control. This has caused numbers to grow exponentially. Without 401k the market would be @ or below 5k. 401k was created as a vehicle for growth, but this vehicle is OUT OF CONTROL. Monies will soon flow out of the 401k plans (i.e. out of the market) an into national/international consumer areas. Money CANNOT be stock-pilied, it must flow. LOOK at WHAT HAPPENED TO JAPAN in the 80's. Same thing happening in U.S. now. It will get worse. 80's Japan was king. Too much capital built up internally, created a bubble and it's been popping since the 90's.

quote.yahoo.com^igpa&d=b Check out the results of the Chile stock market...they replaced their social security system with a do it yourself investment plan which allows people to invest their Social Security money directly. The point is that the bubble just gets bigger the more money there is in the pot. Or...the bigger they are the harder they fall. Regards, gw
