My little homemade 401k is up 40% in one year. My Bank of America has almost doubled since I bought it. Wish i'd bought more but hindsight is always 20/20!

I'd be up more --- but I SPEND my dividends and bond income..... so they don't get rolled back into more shares.

Excellent....The number one problem in marraiges is MONEY....So talking with your Wife about your plans for the future is critical..

Laying out 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year goals really keeps the bond tight between a Man and his Wife...

I have friends who won't talk about their financial futures with their spouses and they are always fighting...

Good Job Jose...

It's really fun watching the recent stratospheric rise of the market from the perspective of a 102 reader. Most of my previous "shoulda/coulda/woulda" day-trading anxiety is gone, and I feel much more secure knowing that the path I am choosing is the right way to proceed for long-term gains.

Actually, while most of the country is rooting for the market to keep rising, I'm ready for a correction because it's hurting my dollar-cost-averaging.

A good read this morning... shows some "numbers" on the whole timing the market question..

Obviously, buying during a crash is GREAT. but just getting in whenever you can for us long term holders, will still be great. Looks like about a 1% difference in "timing it" which isnt that big in the long run. and you may have never bought until weeks/months later when you finally gave in, and lost even more money..
