So, Uhm, What's the Fuss

I'm a Pensioner, need to protect my capital/assets. Uhm, the TSX has done much better than this puppy so why would I bother? If I've lost $50,000 on some stocks, I can't recover it, even if I'm a WalMart greeter for the next few years. Usually, to me, "fixed income" means "no income."
