Wall Street Wobbles, Rocking Americans' Retirement Plans

AT THE PRESENT SITUATION,iNVESTOR ARE LOOKING FOR SAFE INVESTMENT..........ETF IS ONE........

After rate cuts: The Fed's new ball game:to print money

You are not too smart Johnny Ike. A lot of differnt ETF's out there. Good luck .........

WHY hasn't anybody gone to jail yet????? I want payback!!!!

PASSIVE IS BETTER THIS TIME BECAUSE OF NO CROOK MANAGER LIKE BERNIE WHO BUILT A $ 50 BILLION PONZI......BE SURE YOU KNOW WELL THE PROVIDER........OF ETF AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE HOLDINGS.............

Fed must help to Retirement Plans , to print money.

OF COURSE THERE IS A LOTOF ETF.... IT IS A MATTER OF CHOOSING....YES, SOME ETF ARE DOWN TOO LIKE, ETF RUSSIA,,CHINA, BRAZIL,GOLD ,GASOLINE,FTSE INDEX FUND,DOW JONES ETF FUN OF FUNDS , ETF TREAUSRY INDEX FUND.FUND , ETF BLUE CHIPS, ETF SMALLER COMPANYFUNDS,ATF OIL EXPLORATION, AND A LOT MORE.....CHOOSE WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOUR RETIREMENT FAR TOO MANY ETF....CHOICE YOUR PORFOLIO FROM THERE.............

Exactly! No question about "taking care of yourself." All these fund managers take care of themselves by keeping everyone fully invested. I have survived by changing my strategies and it is not ETFs. The action is in options because you can make money no matter what. TD Ameritrade is already a stodgy company with high commissions and NOT a user friendly platform. Try ThinkorSwim for low commissions and a platform with seminars you can understand.

The answer is simple. Don't retire.

Call your Senator or Congressman and ask if they are affected financially the same way as you. Keep voting the party line and watch everything you own go down the tubes.... way to going American voters.

Wall Street still don't get it---DON"T BUY ANYTHING--for several reasons: 1) No one trusts the street anymore 2) Until this economy deflates--it can not right itself 3) Be content with 1 or 2% in safe havens 4) Don't expect people to reinvest in risk related equities for a long long time. 5) Once bitten--shame on you--twice bitten--shame on me!!! IT HIEST IS OVER WALL STREET--GO LIVE LIKE THE REST OF US

Issue every retiree a color printer and a PC with stock currency paper. Every retiree should be allowed to print $10,000 per month. Look at the benefits of this scheme. 1. Printer and PC production will go up and create an economic recovery in the manufacturing, high tech and retail sector. Then the economic multiplier from these. 2. The money spent by the retiree will create an economic engine of growth. EVERY ONE WINS ha ha ha

Heard anything lately about capitulation :)

With Abe Lincoln Jr. at the helm and his Chicago entourage we are all in good hands. Our retirement funds are safe, our future is safe, our markets are safe, our nation is safe; the election produced safety and change; CHANGE ANYONE?

Well everyone bought into the BS and no one uttered a peep until the chikens came home to roost. I want to see some serious cage time too for the "supposed leadership" that had better business educations than me and who were very fully aware of the inherant risks involved with what they were doing. If a different stata of society were to be involved in similar activities fraud charges would be filed. I fail to see the logic or the fairness of the average American being expected to have to maintain a higher standard of behavior than the business and govermental leaders. I was under the impression that thhis was supposed to be a government by, for and of "the people". If an average person fouls up their credit worthiness, they get cut off. It seems to me that the same should apply going uphill.

If you have extra money, pay off any outstanding debt. Minimum, you save 5%. Good, solid safe ROI. Why would anyone invest, when they owe?? 1/2 of American millionaires have a second mortgage. Guess what. If you have a second mortgage, you aren't as rich as you are trying to portray.

The financial markets are in a turmoil do to the governments meddling in the free markets. The bailouts are not working. After January 20-th the messiah will start the second "new deal" and it will prolong the second "great depression". "Buddy can you spare some Change".

Wall street is the worst of the wild wild west, with an absentee sheriff (Dubya) and judges and commissioners in the pay of various groups of outlaws (SEC, Paulson, Fed Reserve, Congress, Cheney). And everyone else (the rest of us) are sheep to be fleeced, suckers to be bent over and driven. Even without Wall St's turpitude a system with huge net ouflows of the hundred of billions in the form of trade deficit has never been sustainable -- this is what killed the British empire -- running out of gold. Maybe the trade deficit won't be the main cause, but all leading empires are eventually driven into the ground from the inside after they reach a certain age and size. This is not prophesy, this is historical fact. Is our time finally up?
