I lucked out. Bailed out of the market when I retired. Sold everything on the west coast and moved to Missouri two years ago. I did see this coming two years ago. Thought I might be wrong as I figured it would fall apart a year ago.
Sorry for everyones losses...It's got to be tough. Don't divorce yer wife now. You'll have even less...

I got my RRSP statement (like the American 401K aka a retirement savings plan above the "pension") I don't got much in it but I only made .65% last qaurter in "no-risk" savings. Overall made 2.85% since November.
None of the high risk/return bonds for me thankfully.
