The past couple of years have proven tough for most retirement accounts. Diversification provided some respite, but, overall, most portfolios got mauled.
In recent months, the stock market has rebounded, but most of our nest eggs have still lost a lot of money since the market topped out in 2007. And all of us have lost a lot of time.
