$INDU and $SPX are underwater for the year. Buy and hold now and regardless of what happens you will beat the market for 2009. Of course you may lose 1/2 your money. :lol:

I am betting holding SPX at current prices will effectively return 15% per year at end of 5 years.
And that includes the dividend play.
