I've been thinking alot about how far I've come since I became serious about the stock market almost two years ago. If the market hadn't tanked in 2008, there's no way I would be where I am today. Watching my retirement get cut in half really made me want to be more hands on with it. When I started to educate myself at the beginning of 2009, I had no idea where to begin. There's so many "experts" claiming to have the answer it's overwhelming. I'm glad I found "The Market Guys" on Etrade. From them I've developed a simple strategy that I'm very comfortable with. Nothing is easy with the stock market, but if you can keep from making the big mistake, you can do really well. I'm transferring my entire retirement to etrade. It can't get there soon enough. It feels great to be in control of my financial future. Thank you Etrade. Thank you recession.
After yesterday the scoreboard reads:
Me 25.87%
S&P 11.46%
I thought I'd update my postitions today since I've repositioned quite a bit in the past week. Figures are as of around 2:00PM today.
