Hi Dave,

Let me guess, were it not for EXSO, you'd have retired at age 46 !!!!!! LOL !

Fidelity Growth & Income was good to me from 1992 - 1998. I don't mind having to work 5 more years than you before I retire. <g>.

You are right, the market is the only game in town right now. But if my 401K takes 2 years off from it, I'll be fine. The key to my retirement is my pension. Makes no sense for me to retire before age 52, even if I had $2M in a 401K.

Hmmmmmm ..... I'm looking at a 2 year chart of the DOW .... up 10% - 12% over 2 years. Same as my 5 1/2% money market fund.

Hmmmmmm ..... S&P 500 ..... up just 10% in the past 12 months. It it drops to 1370, my money fund will have out performed it.

So except for the crazy NASDAQ, I haven't missed much. And if we take one more dive down to 2800, my money fund might wind up outperforming it too !

What do you think most Americans will do if it occurs to them that they could make as much money in money funds/short term bond funds than in the S&P index, and without any chance of stress ?

Regards,
Chris
