I'm roughly 400 pages through this thread, lol. It has inspired me to take control and have a better understanding of my own finances. I had started a Roth IRA a few years back, but the broker I was with only offered mutual funds, so the performance was lackluster to say the least. The paperwork is being processed right now to transfer that Roth over to Schwab, so I can at least control what I'm invested in.
Also, I was browsing google finance and found this article.

Not trying to say buy or don't buy, but it's a good example to think about, is their stock going on sale, or is this a fundamental change?
