I got my calculator out and no matter how hard I try 2500 does not go into 10000 five times...and you want me to take investment advice from you.

Honestly Greg I hope to meet you some day. You seem like a good guy.

Reading this thread has made me decide that I can't keep all my eggs in my 401k and employer's plans, especially at age 45. I plan to take $10k after the first of the year and get going in stocks. One question though, how do you identify which stocks pay dividends?
