I do mine own investing,, I am not school trained,, just inquisitive,, I win & lose, dropped 50% on the 2001 fall,, rebuilt and lost another 60% this time,, but I'v recovered 50% of the loses. Last year I netted 28.76% growth,, not the best,, but I beat the market..
I retired in 95 and rolled over my 401k into an IRA. In 15yrs I have 10 times more than I started with,, and that's after the fall(s).. Was I lucky,, probably.. Can I do it again,, why not..
I'll play my luck rather than let Barry steel my savings to pay for his Wealth Redistribution Plan..

JJ_BPK,
I also do my own investing. Some with IRA funds.
I also have been “lucky” with my investments, but am concerned with exiting my “sheltered” investments. The taxes alone would decrease my investment pool by 25%.
I do not own any bonds or T-notes, as I think most are poor investment choices.

I will burn my money before Øbama gets one penny. I’m just looking for the least painless way to move cash.
