    I realize it's just funny money

    well sort of ...

    Just a props to Bryan. Since taking his advice less than a month ago, my 401K is up almost $10K ... and I'm sure I've harpooned my destiny.

    Very true. It's just nice to see the bowl fill a little instead of swirl down the drain.

    its amazing how much age affects your outlook - I was selfishly glad to see things be down since I'm putting ALOT in right now... means I'm getting more bang for my buck. Oh well...

    I dunno.
    With everything at or near 52 week highs?
    Why are they at this level?
    No one knows why that I've spoken to.

    Double dip?

    Good luck.

    Part of the battle is consistency and taking emotion out of it.

    I'm having lunch with my guy tomorrow and will give him the "we're taking a lot of MY money into cash if we see the DOW at 9600" talk.

    My 401k doesn't allow for expedient position exchanges.

    For the longest time, neither did ours. But we have about a dozen or so choices on how to dispurse funds.

    We are limited to 4 transaction/year and one a quarter.
