I know you'll almost certainly be proven right about now being a great time to begin investing in broad indexes, but hardly anybody thinks that way. I think of all these people plunging into their 401k's and IRA's right now; talk about digging a financial grave. Warren Buffett gives me some hope though. He amassed his fortune buying when nobody else would, and lo and behold he's at it again. That's encouraging. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Blakes last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/youngdough/~3/408305197/">Tracking My Expenses:</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> What a fitting time for us to be studying the money supply in macro 366. lol.

I know you’ll almost certainly be proven right about now being a great time to begin investing in broad indexes, but hardly anybody thinks that way. I think of all these people plunging into their 401k’s and IRA’s right now; talk about digging a financial grave.

Warren Buffett gives me some hope though. He amassed his fortune buying when nobody else would, and lo and behold he’s at it again. That’s encouraging.

I actually meant that it would eventually fall on someone to pay back. Whether that's my kids or my grandkids it's hard to say. Inflation is definitely a big concern right now though. Thanks for the comment! Allan,

Just this one bailout would buy hundreds of gallons of gas for your car, all bailouts together are thousands of gallons of gas, or months of rent or mortgage payments. Don't worry if you can't afford it - your kids and grandkids will have to pay the tab - with interest.
