Perfect timing. Now is the time to do it. There are going to be a lot of people come out of this much wealthier than before. Seems tailor made for those wishing to invest and have the extra money. :)

"The road to recovery is likely to be a bumpy one," Kleintop wrote in his outlook piece titled "Time to Opine on 2009."
