I think I only had 1 change their Divvy, but it was WFC, who was in hot water anyways.

Was able to pick up a few things on sale, and get my parents on board with Div investing too. Happened to be at just the right time for them.

This thread has lost a lot of traction as of late, which is surprising considering the opportunities that have arisen this year.

The hunt for COVID-stricken stocks yet to bounce back has been a good one for me.

And on more of a controversial note, I started researching crypto-currencies somewhere in the earlier stages of the last bull-run. They're a roller coaster I don't hear much about here, which is odd considering the amount of crypto wealth I see poured into the car-scene.

It's lost traction because it's basically covered everything it needed to. Remember, I started this simply looking for investment knowledge. This was never about picking stocks as much as it was about learning what to do with money that's available for investing. That knowledge is still applicable today through all of these turbulent times.

I'm glad people are still checking in. Thank you. I hope this thread continues to help people the way it helped me.

I have no clue what i'm doing but on the prodding of friends. I opened a TD Ameritrade account and bought some GMGI stocks. Anyone else own any?
Anyone want to recommend some low buck "starter" stocks to play with?

Best advice I can give you is to go back to the beginning of this thread and read what Greg had to say. Reading and following his advice was a game changer for me. Retired early at 58 thanks to him.

Thanks, That was some good reading. I'm small beans right now but i've been putting about 20% in my company 401K.
I just dabbled a little and bought $500 worth of Kinder Morgan and $500 worth of AT&T. already had $1000 worth of the GMGI.
I know this is pretty much nothing in the real world but, I'll play more every week as I feel more comfortable.
If nothing else, my daughter might see some returns when she inherits my accounts.
