Dead cats bounce. Not very well, and it depends upon the height involved, but they DO bounce.
- At least in investing terminology.

Dead 401k's and dead retirement plans, well...they don't bounce all that well.

IF you trust and believe Berry Obama-Soetero, Ben Bernanke, Congress....ad nauseum, then stop reading right here. Do NOT buy any gold or silver. Go very long on Government Debt (aka Bonds).
- Timmy has SUCH a "deal" for you! Or, talk to Ahnold about Kalifohnia bonds. Maybe some nice Greek action? Iceland (real opportunity now I hear)?

Boomer 'retirement plans" aren't doing so well. Not "bouncing" at all so far.
- No job creation
- Decreasing housing values
- No 'gains' in investments
- Higher taxes coming
If you were a typical investor, followed the typical financial advice and were properly "allocated" and long stocks, bonds, and mutual funds for the past decade then you were a LOSER. Your boomer 401k's are now 104k's. Maybe. If you're lucky.
- Don't have one? Pick out a nice dempsey-dumpster before they are all spoken for.

Almost as big a LOSER as the fiddy-two percenters in the last national election.

Yeah, that whole "hopey-changey" thing is REALLY working out just swell!!!!
