AHHH ok!

Thanks John


Now doing research over the last week I have noticed something. The majority of the stocks I have looked at are all up. Is the market overall up and it would be hard to choose something stable that isn't going to be up? Just because it is up does that mean its not a good time to get in? I have mainly been focusing my efforts on dividend paying stocks and ones that I feel are products my family uses. Along with the TR that was brought to my attention

I'm going to follow your advice Greg and split the 1500 over 3 stocks. He actually has 1600 to start with so the extra were going to put in FB which actually is the less exspensive of the 3 I am leaning towards.

I like the mention of FB everybody I know and all businesses have a Facebook page. That is going to be the higher risk and the only one that doesn't pay a dividend.

I'll throw the other two stocks out there that I'm leaning towards and if anybody has information to add I'll take it. I would love to get started today but the up market worries me some.
