Bingo! Here is KnowNothing last year:
"I am very afraid of the stock market, and always was. It keeps shooting up, but I can't take a chance with money I suffered so much to earn and save.

I had decided on CDs."

i rest my case . why do they bother even coming to the investing section when they have no interest in investing . makes no sense to me . would you go in to forums you have no interest in just so you could post negativity ?

I know you don't want to hear about it. But there are lots of experts, in mainstream journals like Fortune and Forbes, for example, who are warning about the stock market, for all kinds of reasons. You want to keep your head in the sand so you don't hear anything negative.

if you are a long term investor what they have to say is likely meaningless . there is never a good time ever according to many talking heads . there is always some disaster ready to drive us in to chaos . all they get for their predictions over the long term is poorer.

no one says you have to be 100% equities but to avoid markets will have a serious effect on your longer term accumulation .

I think it may be best for me to avoid watching the stock market. This day-by-day watching the market depresses me. I need to invest it and forget it. I shouldn't over react to any dips.

Right, you can't make as much money with bonds or CDs. Is there some law that we have to make as much money as possible, even if that means taking big risks?

Not everyone loves gambling.
