yeah.. when i first opened my investment account in roughly 2008, i got $50 free. So i bought $25 of google. (well, 21 after commission).. its worth a whopping like 30 today. sure would of been nice to also get a dividend during those years.
on the other hand, i also bought $21 worth of Apple, which is worth like $100 now. heheh. got lucky on that one. but, not enough to write home about. but it was a "success" story for me. but, ive flopped some too. But that was before i understood what we're doing here now.
