YrsToGo, with your comment about the tortoise and the hare....didn't the tortoise win the race by being slow and steady? Yet you commented that "Cash sitting in a bank account may feel very good today, but it has about a zero percent chance of getting me to the finish line 60 years hence." So---maybe in this crazy new economy, we need to rewrite the fable and let the hare win....albeit after many sprains and dislocations and time-outs?
Yup, the analogy is a little backwards with respect to who is "fast" and who is "slow" but the tortoise is where you place your bets for the long hall. If you want the apparent "sure thing" you'd bet on the hare.
The tortoise is behind right now, but I have faith he's gonna cross the finish line whereas the "sure thing" never will.
