Yes.

82, 500 point rebound the past week or so. I did expect about a 1500 point adjustment this spring, which may still happen. Many believe is will hit 20,000. It honestly doesnt matter unless you are a day trader or about to retire. If you are 20-50, set it and forget it. Max out your roths, 401s, hsas and espps and youll retire wealthy. Ive been doing it since i was 23. It takes a while and then.....ka-boom
