I am still not sure what they do these days Except for two stocks, we got out of the stock market years ago and don't really pay any attention to it, except to chuckle over its vagaries and the belief anyone pays to its "integrity." What a silly generalization. Perhaps you believe in the "generally accepted accounting practices" of listed companies. We don't. OK. What investments do you use which have consistently stayed ahead of inflation? I never bought stocks, and any profit sharing stocks were quickly liquidated and put in my 401k money market fund. Poor interest, but not much risk. As soon as I could pull money from the 401k it went into federally insured IRA CD's. Decent interest (+5% for the last two years, and hardly any risk. Now, how did I stay ahead of inflation? Simple. I kept my salary inflated. --Vic As long as the 401k money market was your choice, not your employer's, I guess you're happy. Hopefully, there were other investment choices with that 401k. Companies have been taken to court and beaten up badly for offering only what they considered "safe". |
