Unless you are a day trader, IRA and land should be viewed as long term investments.

I saw a report yesterday that said 60% of Americans are invested in the stock market. I would have guessed more.

I personally have not substantially been in the market since 2008/09... Yep, missed out on a lot of upside for sure....

Thinking about jumping in with some dollars. I know you can't time such things, but maybe wait until another 5-10% shaved off the market would be a prudent time to jump in if one isn't invested today? Maybe ladder in those dollars starting now, then every week or 2? Not sure the best approach. Will be buying something like VOO or FXAIX. Thoughts?

I am a big fan of FXAIX. Like many index funds, the fees are so low that they don't really amount to anything. Most professional traders can't beat the SP500 on the long run

60% of americans are in the market from what I have read also BUT the amount of investment is HIGHLY slanted

93% of all stocks are owned by the wealthiest 10% of investors

The bottom 50% of Americans in terms of net worth only own 1% of stocks.
