25 years? Are you crazy?

There are several people who make a solid livign trading the Four- Apple, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, which bounce up and down like a yoyo. Takes some education and research, but its not rocket science.

Stock investing is not for the risk adverse or the lazy. Investing in stocks without a knowledge of what the company does, its financial health, and its growth outlook is crazy.

That said, mutual funds, money market accounts, etc. are solid ways of growing your wealth, at least until Obama taxes it to death.

Sound advice, but I know next to nothing about the SM... I know, I should invest, but with capital gains taxes expected to rise in the next 4 years I don't think I'll really be able to rely on it too much for retirement...

Just to let people know, in order to Get 15% cap gain, you must hold for a year.
If you sell before then, it is invest income. Same rate as work income.

I agree, high volume stocks like those that you listed are great to get in and get out on daily basis. If you get in on the down slide all you have to do is wait a couple of days and be back in the black.

Thinking of jumping back in and playing the stock market again. Had great luck in the past and been tracking a couple of stocks. Beats what I'm getting on a money market account.
