Maybe we need to look really long term. On a very long term view the S&P should test the under 200 range by 2025. I would certainly think of another tap at the 1987 low at least. If it doest do that then that will be because an ice cream costs $1,000 or more. There is a mention above of long term graphs of stock prices. Maybe we need to look really long term.

Just go on automatic, choose wisely, and hold on.

As soon as I fund my IRA for 2007, I'm putting it in the market. I've got 30+ years for the economy to shake this off. And big ups for looking into ethical investing. A good 1/3 of my 403b is in TIAA-CREF's "social choice" options. I'd love to make a killing in the stock market, but not at the expense of someone else's life. Buy low, sell high!

I've been following the subject for around forty years. Despite the gaining popularity of ethical investing, I've found insufficient good information and media coverage on the subject. So in 2002 I started a website to fill this void. In the past year or so, I've also been covering the latest global green and ethical investing news. Interested readers can see my site at http://investingforthesoul.com Good luck and best wishes, Ron Robins Good to see you are going to review a book on ethical investing!

I suppose we copy almost everything else America does, so it's not surprising. I'm looking forward to that book review. Hi Mrs M – our market in the UK always mimics the dow.

I wouldn't pay off the car loan yet since you'd have to drain your emergency fund to do it. The interest on a car loan isn't great and it's certainly the debt I'd tackle first, but if you drain your emergency fund to do it, you raise the chances that you'll have to take on credit card debt instead, which is worse. As for the student loans, there's an excellent chance that you shouldn't pay them down any faster than you're required to anyway. The interest rate on student loans is usually very reasonable. (I've got student loans locked in at 2.625%. It would be foolish to pay them off when I can make 4.5% on my savings account, never mind my investments.) Nicho is also mistaken.

As as your UK friend, Plonkee has pointed out the chances of your investment tanking to zero is just next to zero. And if the reasons that made you buy the investment are still the same, stick with it. And incidentally Nicho must be having a bad day. Let us hope it gets better for him. Mrs. M,
