Our small company had a Defined Benefit Pension Plan for the 3 of us back in the late 90s.

So we sold everything and put 100% in treasuries. The Dot com bust happened about 3 months later.
The distribution from that Plan after it's 10 year life was the seed money for my current retirement plan. #Lucky
