Executive Director

About one in three Americans aged 18 to 34 said that they plan to transfer investments out of stock and into money market and savings accounts, saying that they expect to "sit on the sidelines" in the next six months. By contrast, only 11% of older Americans expect to do the same. These figures come from a survey conducted by Koski Research for Charles Schwab.
