How does the current stock market level compare to highs in history? Is the market to high for the economy?

#1 Todd -- talk with someone qualified to answer your question -- I'm almost positive that PROPERTY is not allowed in a SEP/IRA/401 investment vehicle.
I own part of an apartment building in GWEN'S IRA -- and only because it is a partnership and LLC... and it's been absolute HELL to have it in there. Most institutions won't hold "private paper".... and because it's not a qualified investment - we have to file income taxes on it every year - and the taxes have to be paid out of the IRA -- and try to get that done... it's just a total PITA. To the point that last tax filing season I had a discussion with my accountant about just "buying the investment outta there"! Turns out - that can't be done either...
RE: Market question
There is no way anyone can answer a question like that... it's just GUESSING. And or "market timing" - which doesn't work. The market - like housing - just goes up over TIME.... You'll never get in at the right time. The minute you're in the little man in wall street takes everything you bought straight down.
