They are faced with some really hard choices. Many won't be able to retire as comfortably as planned due to loss of their portfolio values. Some might have to work extra years but many will not be able to recoup their losses. i feel badly for many folks but they knew the consequences of risk. Many Seniors should have rolled their money over into safe money vehicles since they were nearing retirement. Since time is not on their side should some recoup great losses, they should have opted for a safer return on their money. Many Seniors have seen their investment portfolios dwindle in value.
