How Could the Current Market Volatility Impact Baby Boomers' Retirement Portfolios?

If you're one of the millions of Baby Boomers getting set to retire this year, how can you protect your nest egg from potential market volatility, at a time when it is the most vulnerable: when you're making withdrawals from it! Boomers getting ready to start drawing down their retirement assets could face a double whammy if the market diminishes the portfolio's returns at a time when they need to capture the most income it can generate. Not all Boomers will have the luxury of time to ride the market volatility out. Not all Boomers plan on working in retirement. Still, they need to create an income stream they won't outlive, and one that won't vaporize during a rapid market decline.

And, what should you do if you're still saving for retirement via a 401 (k), or other workplace savings plan, and the market takes an unexpected turn? If you're in the accumulation phase, where can you find the greatest potential for stability?
