I always said that the US economy was too important to the world to

Now you're going to screw a lot of people all over again.


More like "American politicians" Don. The 'mericans have been getting
screwed by their politicians for almost the last 100 years.

Getting scary.. don't want to take another loss like 2008.
Have to find a safe place to invest my little retirement fund.
About 40% should be safe in a modest 4.7% yield provincial bond but
I'm concerned about the other 60%. I don't trust the bank financial
people to look after my best interests.

You didn't take a loss unless you took out cash during that time. Even
then, the balance bounced back. If you aren't capable, or willing, to
manage your own finances on a regular basis the 4.7% yield is not bad so
you should move it all there. My 401K/IRA portfolio was up a little
over $4500 today. I watch it closely and change positions as needed.


Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
