No - this is what is called a myth - the number of money that is projected to be put into the stock market over the next 5 to 15 years is expected to increase not decrease as a larger percentage of Americans and foreign investors invest in the US Markets as they become more global in their nature. Also - since people are living longer people are going to need more growth in their portfolios. That is why the best place to put your money right now are US Multinations that increase their dividends annually like GE, Exxon-Mobil, and Pepsico. What baby boomers want is continued growth and income and you should be investing in such stocks as these.

Good Luck!!!

for the record I have holdings in GE, XOM, and PEP.

Not to mention the amount that will be filing for social security. Has there been a worse time in history to be in your 20’s?

To pull large amounts of money from the market would mean paying huge capital gains taxes…I don’t think it will effect the markets at all…

Perhaps invest in retirement homes or products of that nature!
