Good advice here. Invest in well diversified, LOW cost index funds and you will be all set. TSP is super for this.
I'm reading "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" right now, by Jack Bogle, who started Vanguard, and pretty much invented the index fund.
I recommend reading it. It is not heavy in math and makes many good points about low cost index investing.
Bottom line: invest in low cost index mutual funds for the LONG time period. Avoid moving your money around and high fees.
article is informative

I really hate to be critical but alot of this info is after the fact. Even John Madden gives a better play by play. I recommend technical and fundamental analysis to see how the market will do. For instance, how is the S fund doing now? Well it's tanking.
I tell you what, I'll stick my neck out and say we are at least due for another 10 percent decline in the market due to inflationary (oil, food, CPI, you name it) and recessionalry pressures (layoffs, reduction in equity loans, mortgate and construction sector problems). To fully realize a bear market, a minimum of at least 20 percent loss is usually in the cards and we have not capitulated yet.
