My only reason for posting this old thread is to encourage those who need to prepare for their future retirement to take advantage of this once in a hundred years opportunity to cash in on this bull market. The dollar cost averaging recommendation is something anyone can do. It doesn't make any difference how much you start with, just get started and don't miss this. Call Fidelity (or any of the the other big brokers) and talk to someone about your options. This thing is going to be big.

"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
