As an FBI employee, you would know of them through the Thrift Savings Plan.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I see, I'd ask if now's a good time to invest, but considering what the fund does, maybe that doesn't matter with this type of fund?Who wants DVDs? Good prices! I swear!

The old saying goes
Its not timing the market, but time in the market.
Get in as soon as you can and stay there as long as possible. If you are going with indexes, then all the funds will basically behave the same. Thus, the choice is to go for the fund company that has the lowest fees (both management and account). I have a lot of experience in this area and Vanguard has the lowest fees.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent.

I see. Thanks pchang and LS. The money is currently in CDs now, I think I might just take it out and put it into some mutual funds now.Who wants DVDs? Good prices! I swear!Comment

So, looks like I'll likely be going with Vanguard for the safe funds (2050 retirement funds and such).
Any advice from anyone about the more risky investments? Any regions/industries looking particularly good now?Who wants DVDs? Good prices! I swear!Comment

Don't chase
Things move in cycles - by the time you move into something that is "hot" it will most likely be at the top of its cycle. Most chasers end up hopping from top to top only to "enjoy" the ride down over and over again.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
