I am a private investor with assets of approximately one million and I now do not own one share of corporate america. Until the rules of the game are changed back to where they were I do not intend to participate in the markets except in gold,bonds and real estate. Also have invested in some collectables. I feel I do not have a chance when competing with the so called experts, when the table is tilted in their direction. They have always had an advantage but nothing like they enjoy today.
