Exclamation U.S. retirees try to keep cool...

...as stocks tumble.


An interesting article...applicable to a lot of us.

"I have not looked at my numbers. I'm afraid to do it," said Farrington, who recently moved to Charleston, South Carolina, from Boston. "We've been conditioned to stand pat and not panic. I sure hope my advisers are doing the same."
