<p>[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 3920821, member: 100720"]Okay. I get it. It's a bad idea at my level of investing ability. Thanks for all your input.

You can get a heads up on what the market will do based on if I'm about to put money into an Index Fund. I should charge for this information as it is almost like a legal form of "insider trading"!
