Great chart! I have some friends and co-workers that I need to show this to.

I've been wondering if I should start investing or not and this blog really helped me decide that I need to start investing really soon. I think I'm going to wait a little bit until the market stops going down.

Kelly,
Thanks for the comment and we are thrilled that our post helped you out. We would recommend spacing out your initial investment amount to protect yourself from a drop in the stock market. If you do this you can start with a portion in the market now and just add to it over the next few months or over the year. Look at our first post in the series “Market Timing, When to Buy Stocks.” We talk about watching the short term market, which you are doing, but we also talk about Dollar Cost Averaging which you might find very beneficial.
