Over 15 years of investment growth evaporated in a matter of weeks. Now what? Is there not some remedy? It seems ironic that the Federal Government sat and watched this happen to its millions of employees and retirees. Now the Federal Government has a huge problem on its hands that could have been avoided if rules and regulations could have kicked in that would operate like a stop/loss. It is one thing for an individual to play the stock market and lose. I believe this is different. Retirement savings accounts must be regulated. Its a win win.
