You speak as if trading equities and derivates on Wall Street is the only game in town. First of all, most of those retirement funds are based on wildly inflated values that simply do not reflect book value of the underlying assets at all - so they are really worthless right now. Just that the loss has not yet been realized because the Greenback lives in a la-la land where inflationary pressures are masked by the temporary phenomenon of singular hegemony.
I wouldn't make such a statement without at least providing some evidence.
