Hi Mohan, thanks for the Fidelity link. I should have thought about getting the forms from online sooner. (I spend a least an hour a day at the fidelity site, but it's at the live quotes, intraday charts and trading screens<gg>). BTW I just got a message from someone who had seen my note to Linda saying that he had come to the same conclusion and pulled money out of funds and put them into stocks. It's all becoming clear to me. It's like being released from the sheep of the masses. Funds were set up for the average guy, who said "I don't understand, I don't have time, I want to be part of it (the market and make money..... like everybody has said can be made, but... but... but....). Brokerage houses have made fortunes off of the 'average guy'. Guess what? It's all going to change during the next 5-10 years. POWER SHIFT!!!! I recently read some statistics that online trading is the biggest portion of e-commerce, and it's growing the fastest. I know at work more people are starting to talk about their stocks and investments; the newbies and the folks that have been into it for awhile. With the internet and computers (DELL) , the availability of online trading and information, we'll all be better investors and something we'll teach our children. I know some folks actually do start their children at an early age at investing. My daughter had a class in high school that taught her about stocks and they did paper trading. But I need to get them really involved so the understand and take advantage of the fantastic opportunity early in life. Maybe have the oldest start managing her account. I'll have to trade her old CPQ in on a new DELL first <g g> :) Laura
