Most investors, especially in or nearing retirement, seek to
reduce risk while growing capital prudently in the stock market.
Gains are nice, but large drawdowns are sickening, especially in
retirement when you don't have an income stream from a full-time
job and time is no longer on your side.
When time IS on your side, and because most bear markets tend to
last only six months to two years at the most, you are able to
rebuild the value of your account simply by staying put, and not
rushing for the exit. FACT: The only people who lost in 2008
and 2009 were those who sold at the bottom. The market has some

safe money side of your plan? Today, we'll examine why Warren
Buffett says that bonds are a terrible investment. Then health
insurance and Medicare Specialist Shelley Grandidge joins us.
