The masses of Americans with 401ks and IRAs were in the stock market (in their retirement accounts), which for most people is one of their greatest remaining stores of wealth) or buying stocks with their payroll deductions into said accounts.&nbsp; That is why the crash of 2008 hurt so many regular people ... When the masses noticed that their retirement accounts (401ks 403bs IRAs) lost 1/2 their value in a few months most freaked out and sold (right at the bottom) ... since the crash most regular people have been putting their retirement money in bonds ... this has only just begun to reverse as in the past few months the inflows into stocks has started to rise. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
