Is it a good time to jump into the share market, or have I missed the boat?
Every day when I get up and see that the stock market is up again, I think I have missed the boat with this rally. Should I wait for a big sell off, or get in and keep my fingers crossed that there won't be a big sell off? I am in my 30's, have a good job and my wife and I have a bubs on the way but my budget tells me we have $2,000 a month for shares. Should I jump in now? Roger, Newport, NSW

What advice can I give my children about creating wealth?
My son, who has just had his 21st birthday, asked me what he should do to ensure that he ends up having what I have got - a house I own, a holiday home on the South Coast of New South Wales and a super fund which is heading to a million dollars when I retire in five times. Also my wife will have close to $500,000 in her super but we lived through a lucky time. We both were public servants. Houses were a lot cheaper when we were young and the world was less expensive. Hope you can help. James, Penshurst, NSW.
