That's the catch with SI. 1) You get great news articles etc.. but 2) You log in every day and check the price. Investing is not easy. Before it was invest and check once in a while. Now it's constant updates and chatter. I love SI and what they bring, BUT it really screws with a person's mind. Did anyone think trading in individual stocks was every so complicated? No wonder the average Joe gets screwed. Sometimes when I talk with friends I'm thinking how easy it is for them to get nailed. It's scarry. Individual stocks are for high risk or semi/professional's. There is the occasional buy and forget shareholder - not too many bad stories from them - mostly bragging :-) Aloha
