There ya go
Loook at it from the other side of the fence - you are buying cheaper today than 6 months ago. That's the beauty of dollar cost averaging.
401K's and Roths are no brainers and I would continue with both at a level that you are comfortable with - at least put sufficient money in your 401K to get that employer matched contribution.
At 26, its a long road ahead and it is prudent and commendable that you are on the road and asking the right questions - it is surprising how many people are not and try and play catch up when it is too late.
(BTW - thanks for all of your input on the various threads on here - good to have a tech. on here from the belly of the beast so the speak.)
