How the crash is rewriting investment rules

They said we would get 8% return on investment in our pension plans... Ha! Madoff level returns.

Now they say 4%.

I think we will be lucky to get 1% because the last 30 years of "normal" growth required 10 dollar a barrel oil, and we will never see that again.
