Bob, this is one of the best threads ever.

Now for a few questions:

1. I have $1000 to invest towards some long term goals like retirement/house/etc. I'm getting married soon and we'll both be in our early 20's fresh out of college so time isn't a problem. I've been thinking that good market or bad, some SPDRS might be a good option as there's a relatively low transaction cost and maintenance fees. What other options are available to me (that you think are worthwile) for the $1000 range?

2. I'm currently working on a BBS in Finance. Once I graduate, I'll be doing 4 yrs in the Army as an officer. I plan on staying in the Army until retirement but just in case I change my mind, do you have any advice on getting into the industry?
