<p>For the affluent members of this board whose family strong work ethic
have dictated that savings for college is the only appropriate method
for paying ones child to attend college as opposed to seeking government
hand-outs, how many here have contemplated liquidating their 529 college
savings account prior to the end of this year as permitted by IRS statute ?
Financial conflict in the EU nations appear to be spilling into the US markets
and this may adversely effect your 529 college accounts.</p>
<p>My good sir,</p>
<p>Before responding to your magnificent query I must humbly apologize. I fear that I cannot be certain if my level of affluence and work-ethic rises to a point where I may speak with authority on such grand matters. </p>
<p>If I may be so bold, I would go far as to predict that aside from the possibility of short-term turbulence caused by the unwashed masses withdrawing their coppers from the market in response to a monetary phantasm that would only frighten the unlearned, bleating, hoi polloi, your investment should be safe in the long-term provided that your holdings are sufficiently diversified. </p>
<p>I must confess that this response only constitutes my own opinion and should not be taken as investment advice from a learned, professional financial advisor.</p>
<p>You’re fricking kidding right? </p>
<p>I noticed in your post history you have a thread about this in the UCF forum as well, and didn’t exactly get the replies you wanted there. How nice.</p>
