I think we need to agree on what we are trying to accomplish before proposing programs, or else we will have no idea if those programs will accomplish our goals or not. If we cannot articulate the goals or cannot agree on them, then whatever programs are proposed are unlikely to accomplish what we want, since we do not know ourselves.
I bet I would enjoy reading them, provided none of my mistakes from the past were part of it.
I can't imagine what he was in that dropped 70%, now THAT would be helpful info - maybe others could learn from it.
Honestly, these stories are long on emotions, angst and "Oh, poor baby" comments, and very short on details on how he managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (or at least the jaws of a tied game.)
I'm curious just what the OP has in mind with these threads.
(S)He's getting exactly what (s)he wants, which is discussion about the topic. IMO, some of this is good for the community, but doing it excessively while failing to comment or direct the thread discussion by explaining the relevance can 'muddy' the board.
“We lost more than 70 percent,” he complained, even though a highly recommended investment firm was managing his 401(k). “They’re very risky.” "
I like the idea of a compulsory contribution to more rigid 410k plans, with restricted and much safer options than equities.
Not sure where you read in my post that I want to impose on everyone not to buy equities. For the record, I am not imposing or even wishing to give anyone the impression that they must do anything with their 401k plans.

Original posters are not obliged to moderate threads, we are all free to comment or move on. Looks like a fair amount of interest in the topic judging by the 80 responses so far.

Thank you Michael for confirming. If some here don't like my posts, please feel free to put me on "ignore" - and done. I have more important things to worry about in life than this - like going back to Central America in a few weeks' time to save patients' and kids' lives. Of course, some here will prefer to use their own time for more petty things like criticizing others anonymously on websites. And that's fine I guess.
