A special message for 2009 from Tom McFarland, President of The Darrow Company

2008 was an extraordinarily challenging year for investors. Like most people, you are probably asking yourself, What do I do now?

• Your retirement savings are greatly reduced. Can you still retire, and maintain your standard of living, as you planned?
• Your broker's firm has been swallowed up by another, or gone out of business. Who do you turn to now for independent advice and asset management?
• The recent market volatility has made you wonder if your risk tolerance is as high as you thought. How do you decide what's right for you?
• You've been laid off. What's the best strategy for your old 401(k) plan?
• The road ahead, through 2009 and beyond, looks uncertain. What is the economy going to do, in the US and internationally? What about deflation, inflation, oil prices, tax rates? How should you respond?
