Lindy - - - Thanks for your candid remarks. I was just curious and I was surprised to see that you invested in most of the companies I just happened to say didn't exist when I started my career.

I am retired about three and a half years now and I did enjoy the good market for the past three years. I am for the most part out of the market at the moment and I intend to wait awhile before getting back in.

At my age I can't be as aggressive as I'd like to be. Before the summer started I was considering investing about $100K into the market but things started to slow down and now I'm glad I didn't.

I moved a small TSA account of my wife's into two Vanguard Funds and by the time the money was transferred and the account set up everything started going south. Right now she's out about 18% of what she had (which was only earning a little over 4.5%). I'm sure that she'll make out over the long haul, but as I said, it wasn't really that much money.

Lots of luck on whichever direction you decide to go.
