., when you recommend keeping the  original hardwood on top, do you go underneath to add vapor protection?

Putting your money away in an index fund exposes you to the stock market but offers zero protection against systemic risk.

You get zero collateral in the equities markets.Either way you invest, just be sure that you have 'risk management' rules set up to protect yourself. 

Some great comments about reliability and expertise, which I am getting from these guys.

If it's the first that is foreclosing expect the second to protect itself given the apparent equity position.

Your newbie needs your expertise and experience. 

I appreciate in advance all of the expertise and different perspectives you all have to bring to the table but more importantly your willingness to share!
