Comments on: Hard Truth Week in Review – Easter Weekend Edition http://toughmoneylove.com/2009/04/11/hard-truth-week-in-review-easter-weekend-edition/ The Hard Truth about Money and Personal Finance Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:37:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: kitty http://toughmoneylove.com/2009/04/11/hard-truth-week-in-review-easter-weekend-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-3852 kitty Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:22:59 +0000 http://toughmoneylove.com/?p=3162#comment-3852 Interesting. "I agree with the proposition that you can’t beat Wall Street but I’m not so sure about abandoning it altogether." I am with you here: I am not ready to abandon Wall Street. What he suggests instead of Wall Street isn't exactly risk free: land value fluctuates, the majority of businesses fail. Even cash is not entirely risk free - what if we get serious inflation? Ditto about T-bills. Do we trust government inflation numbers for TIPs or I bonds? I am turning 50 soon and AARP sent me a package. Is it worth it you think if I am still employed and plan (or rather hope) to be so for a while? Interesting.
