Elderly Caretakers

Elderly caretakers - from retirement home caretakers to hospital staff and everyone else - will be expected to take care of the stock market.  Someone has to buy the stocks being sold off by the elderly (so they may fund their retirement, if they have stocks).

Not only will there be not be flying cars in the future but there may not be as many people to buy stocks in the future.  Which one has you more disappointed?
