Thanks to all for the info. I'm not to slick on this stuff and I'll take all the opinions/thoughts I can get. I'll be talking to my financial advisor next week. If he can come up with something that stops the bleeding and keeps me from getting hurt too bad tax wise I'll listen to him. If he says ride it out with it the way it is. He's gone. I've got other investments but I'll be eighty next year and don't want to be losing any more than necessary of what I've still got in the IRA.
Good idea to talk to your money guy. This assumes he actually has your best interest at heart. Some do not. Your age (80) absolutely affects the way you should invest. He should be able to explain the “why”, not just the “what” to do. If you’re not comfortable, you can always seek another opinion elsewhere. It’s your money. Always remember, ALL investing involves risk. Best of luck to you.
