Midwestdiva,
Your statement has a lot of people that would normally invest in the stock market, cds, roth iras, mutual funds thinking the very same thing. I'm really watching my mutual fund carefully right now and I just told my advisor to proceed with caution because we cannot trust corporate America. The good old times of the late 90s is gone because of a few greedy Corporate executives at the top wanting it all for themselves. Congress and the powers that be need to step in and monitor these firms very carefully or we will be in another great depression.
