People with money are sitting on it or holding it in cash, gold, bonds, or other "safe" assets. The stock market is hardly doing fine. We have had a decade of zero growth in the market, with the very real prospect of another big drop in the market over the next two years. The people doing really well in the market are traders, investment advisers, and people holding individual stocks like Apple or Google that have outstripped the market. The average guy with $200K in his 401K plan is just treading water at this point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:326739 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
