IRAs and the market

As I watch my IRAs rise and plummet on a daily basis with the result of lost investments, it’s a shame the American people have been misled to investing their retirements in the stock markets. What a cruel joke on most Americans this has been.

Imagine if Social Security were tied to Wall Street. The only ones I see making money are the Wall Street executives. Time to rein Wall Street in and reduce the risky behavior. I am feeling the Bern on this one.
