| I am also interested in it, starting to read some books. I bought a couple of books by Cramer and Bogle and I'm hoping to learn some more. Right now I'm investing in some mutual funds that I chose based on their 5 year performance, managed by my bank (USAA) and of course they have lost money. But, as they say, a down market is a buying opportunity.
I am starting up an IRA soon also. I already give 7% to my 401k, I want to up that but this year I am buying nice furniture and shit, stuff I never had before. Silly I know but I want it, no point in making money if I can't have ncie things. My investment strategy is long term though, I am looking 20-30 years down the line. I plan on buying a house probably in 2009 using my VA loan so I am not concerned about a down payment. |
