Retiring at 35 with $1 m cash in hand

I am sure to see more happy faces here by Q4, but sadness aplenty come 2013.
expect to see your investemnt to go down by 70% by 2013, dont say this is not possible.

Did you ask yourself why today mkt is up when dow was down last nite 25 pts, it is not because it is down only 25 pts, at time 100 pts but we end unchanged. Why??
Thses are harsh time, value invester will hestitate, confuse and wonder why???
But if you are still doing and not vested in the market, you will buy at higher price, i am sure

to the guy who wanted to retire at 35 with $1 m cash ---- hey hey, don't! search your heart and mind for a good way to contribute to society. last night, a girl came around to various homes in neighbourhood, said she was from CDAC. She had a badge to support her statement.

And there was a teenaged boy with her -- he is from a single parent home and needs support. He had a cooler box and was selling boxes of Magnolia ice-cream. I paid S$18 for 1 box -- just to help this good cause.  Our society has many people in need of help from volunteers. U get the drift?
