If one looks at the long term trending over the last 100+ years, the market could hit about 4-5k a stabilize at that number. If one looks at the trending that is where it should/would prospectively be without the explosive growth of the 80s and last 8/8+4 years of Clinton/Bush & Reagen.

...It seems many of these numbers & the market as usual, stop looking at the long term and keep glaring at the short term.

Rally or not, "where should we be?" SHOULD be the question that really gets answered. Plan for that to be the bottom.]]> Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:27:30 -0400

Even with market fluctuations like right now, if I was retiring now, and saving moderately in a 401k, I'd still have more in the 401k even after this MASSIVE market collapse than I ever would in social security. Aside from that one can save 3-6% and have it doubled by their employer and retire good on a 401k. However the Government backed social security at 7.5% out of pocket (by force, no choice given) and 7.5% taken from the employer - even small business, is insane. One can't even retire on that.

15% lost, not able to retire.
6-12% taken by choice, retire comfortably.

WTF? That's a no brainer, why are we still paying into social security.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:12:56 -0500
