[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 369983, member: 4653"] I'm 34 and have been directing 5-15% of my pay into stock funds (100%) for the past 6+ years. I was doing really well for a while. I started investing near the bottom of the last bear cycle (Jun of '02) so I didn't experience the nasty bear market of 00'-02. Now, I afraid to look at my statement, where before I would check it online on a weekly basis. All I know is the DOW is dangerously close to where it was when I started investing (within a 1000 pts.?) :sick:.I'm staying the course with 100% stock funds until I make my loses back (I have 25 years to retirement, it has to rebound, right?:sad-very:). I'm hoping this occurs before my 40th birthday at which time I plan to ease up on the stocks and put a little in cash and bonds (like 15-20%) at first. I'd welcome any opinions or advice if anybody would like to respond. Thanks in advance, Brownie [/QUOTE]
