Tech Ticker is a video blog that's been on Yahoo! Finance for about six months.  Overall, I'm not their biggest fan as they're extremely pessimistic about investing and tend to take a short term approach.  But in their most recent clip, they're taking a long-term approach and saying that it's good time to buy stocks since things are so cheap.

I agree: I honestly believe that there has never been a better time for this generation to build wealth via mutual funds and stocks (I prefer mutual funds).  I wanna cover myself and say that you should get into the market only if you do it without borrowing money to do so.  Also, I think that you should do it if you have no debt and money socked away for a rainy day.

I hope they're right.  I've doubled my 401(k) contribution and I'm buying broad mutual funds in a taxable account to try to take advantage of what might be a sale on equities.  (Can't view the video from here, though.)
