The nightmare on Wall Street got you gobbling antacids and wishing you'd left your life's savings in a cozy little low-interest, FDIC-insured savings account?
You're not alone. These days, investors great and small are feeling sorely used by the market meltdown.
Throughout the Roaring '90s, the only real risk associated with the stock market was the eyestrain you might experience from reading the fine-print disclaimers at the bottom of a prospectus. Sure, it said you could lose money, but who believed it?
Lately, however, it's as if someone suddenly switched the movie. Instead of "It's a Wonderful Life," we're now quaking in our seats watching Hannibal devour our portfolios with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Some investors are not waiting for this stock market horror flick to end. They are walking out of the equities theater and exploring other investment features.
