I'm not saying rush into any investments. But waiting 2-4 years is the wrong move if you are looking to get in the market. A lot of very good stocks are on serious discount either right now or in the coming months. No one knows when the economy is going to stop declining and turn around (some economists are pointing to under two years). Be smart, do your research and try not to miss out on some money making opportunities.

And also congrats on your sale!
