So they invest shorter term with risk.

Now they are worrying about a 2020 type 10,000 DJ point drop.

If they were investing on a long view - the dow was 10,000 in 2010, they would have cushion to lighten risk in the dj 30,000g to 35g range, and would be better off now. Long bonds would have gained for some more cushion.
