I listen to the radio. When I want to be real fancy I listen to XM radio.

I don't know about worth.. I don't invest in single stocks at all. I think it is great to here a group of guys discussing stocks from different points of view and compare stocks with different metrics. I think it is worth it, but I don't put any of the info into practice. Not yet anyways.. maybe never too.. lol

I do enjoy a good conversation about stocks, but its pretty tough to find anyone interested

That said, I've done minor amounts of investment, but again I have such a small amount of expendible incoming that the 10$ cost to buy and sell eats roughly 4% of any money I could potentially make . So naturally if I wanted to actually get somewhere I'd have to get double digit profits and even then my starting nest egg is so small I'd have to double it many times to get a respectable amount. And the way I see it the risk needed to get anywhere is probably the same as going into a casino and pulling the lever however many times and continuing to pull it till I hit a jackpot.

That said I have 2 companies with 250$ into each. I bought Ford and Fannie Mae. I bought ford because its a solid stock with a dividend and I bought Fannie mae because its dirt cheap, it has previously been 50+$, and I doubt the government would ever let it fail. Not only that, but I am young and I can afford to wait 20+ years and hope that I will be rewarded with 137x what I put into it.

To any of you younger guys....

You can afford to invest 10% of everything you make.

The earlier you start, the bigger that cash pile will be.

I recommend a Roth IRA for younger people.

Correct!
The Eighth Wonder of the World!
The difference in gain between year 50 & year 51 is crazy, not to mention year 55 on $100/mo @ 8% Avg Annual Return! Don't wait until next year, start last year!
