Bob just opened up his show with discussion of a triple headwind that the market is up against: 1) unprecedented operating P/E for S&P 500, 2) overexuberance and 3) speculative mania as is evidenced by stocks like KTEL and other internet stocks. He still has not changed his overall outlook for the market. Thus, dollar cost averaging his still the way to go.

kirk, thanks for clarifying the issue. i don't want any of your money and i'm disappointed that govt is so d*mn selfish that they will ruin the country so that a few in control and their buds prosper mightily. willie brown has got to be the epitome of this. disgusting. what i don't understand is why people vote for that kind of useless crap. we need govt but we don't need senators paving their roads multiple times as workfare - welfare. reason ought to take over (it won't). forbes is clear. forbes plan isn't about simplifying, it is about rduction of his own taxes. don't let him mislead you. eliminate cap gains would be a windfall for him. a flat tax would lower his avg rate. he would pay 100s of millions in less taxes. you and i would end up footing the bill. either that or we will bury our children in financial ruin. forbes wouldn';t need to worry about his kids, though. isn't that convenient ;-) good luck. you sound very reasonable. i do my own taxes which included rental property and corporate move. my w2 was changed 2 times andf it was still wrong. i know the system sucks. reducing forbes' taxes isn't the solution. as you point out, simplifying the tax code is.
