6. I have zero tolerance for risk

That's why I went with a retirement fund that was targeted to 2020, not that far away.

If they can't keep it from losing vast amounts of money during any financial situation, then what use is fund management?

I'm glad I got out when I did, had I stayed until now, who knows how many more thousands they'd have lost?
