Got this from the Yahoo Finance page: http://finance.yahoo.com/columnist/article/business/8167 BEST COLUMNS OF THE DAY Boomers won't sink stocks Don't listen to the doomsayers, says Robert Powell in MarketWatch.com. The stock market won't crash as 77 million baby boomers retire over the next few decades and sell off their holdings. Pessimists say everyone will sell en masse, creating "an insidious bear market" and sending us all into "soup lines." But a recent report by the Government Accountability Office says most boomers "don't have any assets to sell." And those who do are more likely to "spend down their money slowly," as retirees do now.
I like the "don't listen to the doomsayers" comment the best... This person and the GAO are examples of why money generating opportunities exist in our "efficient" economy. -D
