Investing 102

[MattA]

We are reading and learning from your "drivel". I personally want to thank you, Greg and everyone else that has contributed to this thread. I have changed my way of thinking due to this information.

I have recently purchased a home and am working hard to get the rest of my outstanding debts paid so I can begin to work on some investing. I recently established a mock portfolio on Seeking Alpha with 1k each of about 15 companies that I am interested in. I have been following my pretend purchases and watching the news stories just as a way of becoming familliar with everything.

I know I have a long way to go but now I feel I am headed in the right direction, only wish I would have started sooner.

Thanks again
