I really understand.. I mean I really got into the trading thing.. My dad even put some money in an Etrade account so I could buy stocks for him with it.. with his money!!! Very fun. Did all that right around the time of the crash.. Bought a stock ELNT (Elantec).. Oh my god.. that sucker quadrupled.. With the crash we were lucky to not of lost everything.. B/c of that one stock it held him up and we got out.. RFMD.. did well and then nose dived.. they were so volatile at the time.. I got to where I couldn't keep track and just got out and licked our wounds.. we lost some money.. but not as much as we could have.. but I just increased the monthly money to the mutual fund.. Though I think when I have some extra money to invest I will take a little more time with research and find some less volatile and more stable stocks to buy for the long term. You know like Coke or something. I watched my aunt buy Cisco near the peak.. for $300 a share.. then they split 3:1.. so they were like a $100 a share.. oh. and then the giant fall..I think it fell down to $3 or something like that.. though its back to the 20's now.
Oh.. do I enjoy money anything!.. I have a Bachelors in accounting and am a numbers person.. Just love it all.. my husband on the other hand is clueless.. I do all the money stuff in our family. which is more than fine with me.. I can always manage a way for me to go to Poland! hehehehe..
