My networth has been going up as I work to pay off what I owe. It is true that the less you have, the less you lose. Given I didn't have anything, I haven't lost anything either!

Even if one had $1million in cash, he said most would put 700K or more into the market. Doesn't sound great.<br /><br />IF i had $1mil cash, i'd put 70% in a 5% then yielding CD. Wouldn't you? Or is this just hindsight speaking?? Interesting, spoke to a client and he said most people he knows, including himself put a majority of their liquid assets into the stock market.
