Over the years Whitaker slipped into higher and higher risks (they pay higher commissions) until we arrived here with losses well over $100,000 and growing. Some we cannot get out of because of restrictions. He is still saying we haven't lost any money until we take it out. At 79 what are our chances of the market coming back enough to put us in the green?
