What's the Potential End Game for this Move?

http://feedproxy.google.com

A famous saying on the Street is the market will do whatever causes the most pain to the most people.  With dip buyers relentlessly using every 20 minute selloff as a chance to buy stock in egregious fashion (once more this morning), I am trying to think how this move finally relents.  If this were any other year than 2009-2010 where low volume, V shaped moves have crippled any historical analysis I would have the easy answer ... but since the way the market now acts is completely foreign to me, I feel like a guy without sight... in a dark cave no less.

Best Places to Invest for Retirement

http://www.fivecentnickel.com

A reader named KC recently wrote in with a question about investing for retirement:

I’m 28 years old with a wife and a six month old baby. We’ve always been money-conscious, but would really like to focus our efforts. We both have Roth IRAs, but are not satisfied with them. They are heavily loaded, and we weren’t that familiar with them when we were advised to set them up. My question is where you would recommend I go for a long-term investing vehicle? I always hear to go with no-load mutual funds but would like your opinion.
