Joe, the future is based on the past, and not the present.

Overanalyzing today's market about how long a bear market MAY last can get you into big trouble.

You are fortunate in that you are still young and have more years to gamble away on chance of success. My experience with this website is that the average member here is about 20 years your senior.

I remember feeling just like you at your age and thinking that the world was 'my oyster'. SADLY, life is not so accomodating.

Regarding your comment...
If not from the stock market, then from your 401k at your job. If you have a decent job with a company that gives stock (some companies even match stock)

.....perhaps you should poll the Enron employees as to their feelings on your belief in this ??
