The well know (or maybe not) strategies of "retirement savings/investment" evolving as an investor nears retirement, was missed (a claim but maybe there was no plan to retire) by many of the O60. So a quick review for those here; If you are thinking about retiring within the next 5-7 years, remove your ASSets from aggressive growth funds/stocks and into bonds and money markets for security...
