I lost 4% of my net worth in the stock market the past two months on risky investments, about the same amount that JP Morgan lost. Should I worry about being investigated by the FBI and DOJ?
huh?

When you lose 5% its not important.

When JP Morgan loses 5% of the bailout money its very important.

Most people in stocks lost about 5% over the past two months, as that's about how the market averages have performed.

Well, if some in Congress have their way and turn social security investments over to individuals who will then invest with the help of financial institutions, I'm sure we'll read a lot posts like this and even worse. Maybe then the public will realize they got royally screwed by Wall Street and its Congressional stooges yet again.
