...sweetie, you need something a little more hyper-sexualized. Dr. K recommends reinventing the robe. She is thinking: skin-tight robing. E.R. Moore has a new Kindergarten line called "Firstev'r"--it's regalia for small children (...don't ask).

...year, and that's a bear-market recipe. In such a period, better turn off CNBC and quit reading the stock tables. Stay diversified. Keep contributing to your 401(k) plan. Dollar-cost-average into favorite blue chips and funds. In five years, you'll be happy you bought cheap. Investing is a long-term game. That's been easy to forget.
