I'm not a finance expert (I'm one of those guys Evan talked about who pays a good one to do it for me) but I would highly recommend looking at some of the more exotic tax sheltered investments that are tied to several major international indexes. They are a pretty big commitment to buy in to and are definitely a long term strategy, but you don't have to mess around with trying to time the market. Guaranteed minimum returns if the market collapsed and every five years it compares the growth of each index and dumps the gains you would have had invested into the best of those three back into your portfolio. Guaranteed tax free income you can draw from every year until you die once you hit retirement, the rest goes to your estate / beneficiaries also tax free (I believe, I'd have to look back through the docs).
