Jeff Quinn, One point she tried to make is not to buy MF (or stocks) at once, but divide the capital and buy 1/3 or 1/4 at one time. Yes, that sounds like good advice to me. However, under current market conditions, I think the best thing for a beginner investor to learn is to ignore any adverts for any thing. I mean, why is something being advertised in the first place? Train to look at adverts in a different way. i.e. Are the suckers going to buy into that upgrade? If so, when is the best time to buy poots on it. And never mind all the guys with 7, 8 and 9 figure trading accounts that cruise the boards, only spend, invest or trade what your are comfortable with. The Bald Man from Mars is down to his last $250 and he's going to throw it all on one mad chance. It does make you despair for some -g- By all means go to a library or a bookshop and find some books on investing, but try not to get pulled in by the advertising, and learn to make up your own mind on where you place your money. That's my two cents worth. I am long on some stocks (chippies mainly) and will be buying them as we crash. It's us J6P's that will kill all the bears in the end, I see that as years off though. In the mean time I would be very careful indeed going long on anything, and of course going short is always dangerous. My CSCO short is showing red today (for once -g-) pearly.
