I know history often repeats itself, "I think it will reach $_____," run baby run....
I finally opened my Schawb acct and funded it. I cant get all the basics down though. How to buy. I am going to attend one of the seminars on the basics, heck, i dont even know how to do paypal. I understand alot of whats said here, but buying things electronically i am still a newb. So hopefully this basic classes will help. I wish it was that easy, maybe it is, and i may be over thinking this. Its probably the "101" i need help with....haha.
thanx all, Mike

#1 -- Glad to hear you've opened up an account... AWESOME... that's a big step forward.
#2 -- Taking a class is a brilliant idea! You don't want to be playing around and push the wrong buttons and accidentally sell or buy something!
#3 -- I'm kinda kidding when I do the "in full discloser" -- and I certainly don't want people to invest in what we use as examples etc -- but I know dang well that they do - because it's easy. I just want people to learn the basics on their own - but I also feel some responsibility. We've talked about several names in here on a repeated basis... I want people to also understand HOW to think about their investments. That's more important than anything else to me. That they start to THINK about cause and affects - relationships etc.
#4 -- If I have 10 or 15 or 20 years before I retire -- I do and think DIFFERENTLY than those guys that are like me - living off their investments. There are all types reading these threads (cars - health - wealth) and I usually try to post accordingly. Cover all the bases so to speak. If you toss enough info out there -- someone will pick the nugget THEY need from it.
