Thanks to everyone who has responded. I do agree with all comments !

Investing choices really depend upon your: Risk tolerance, Age, Investment choices...

I lost a lot of money in the Market crashes back in the 80's, then again in 2001-2001, and tried to ride out the storm, but never recaptured. During those times, I and invested in moderate risk level Mutual Funds. Lessons learned !

I'm at retirement age, have been collecting Social Security for two years now,
however, still working, as my Corporate employer, has those golden handcuffs
on me, and it's difficult to walk away. I have however, decided to hang the job at the end of the year.

I should have enough money, between Social Security(wife & me), Pension, Cash, and most likely a part-time no stress job, without tapping into my IRA/401k money.

Thanks again, for your comments !
