I heard about this 2 days before the downfall of Lehman(mid-end of September).......something told me to bail out of the market and slap those funds into the Retirement Money Market account.
Luckily, I saved a 2000 pt loss. We just shifted from Fidelity to Wells Fargo, so we had a shutdown period for 2 weeks.
Feel sorry for those unable to change, but I HAD A FEELING.
Money Market for now, but will soon be plowing back into this mess in another week or (2), VERY SLOWLY.
