than the alternatives, for one simple reason. No one can judge the market short term. And WS is hard to beat, partly because, IMO, there is a lot of chicanery going on, short term. I went to a Roth, and I'm 70. Stick with it.

Now, I like dividend stuff. There is a lot out there, at 5 to 20%, in ETF's and MLP's. Mine is in mostly energy, oil, gas, with some gold and silver. Because I am afraid of a BIG downturn, am looking to get out of the market for awhile.
