I think everyone knew guys would stay past 60. The big question is what would they do at 62.5 which is when if makes sense to bail out with regards to retirement accounts, Medicare, etc. I think we will see alot more guys start leaving between 62.5 and 65. If the market would rebound a little more that number would go even higher....I think that is what is keeping guys around. Nobody want's to leave when all their investments are still down.
