Ha! I've learned my lesson.  Live and Learn.

[CrackerTeg]

I've never learned the lesson because my wife knows not to poke her nose in my business. Besides, she sees me on the forum and tells me I'm sick in the head because "it has to do with cars" so she quickly loses interest anyway.

[gargantula99]

You are sick in the head, but it's got nothing to do with cars.

I just made the stock market my bitch, relatively speaking. I love stocks.

This has me thinking.. I'm actually planning on going back to school for my bachelors in business with emphasis in finance (then on to an MBA), and I want to get into financial analytics or something related.  does anyone on here dabble in the stock market or the financial industry at all?  I could use any kind of advice you'd have for me.

[Mike]

I dabble but, I pay someone to make all my transactions so my knowlege is small.

[b_beau_09]

if you don't mind me asking, who do you go through, Mike?

[CrackerTeg]

my knowlege is small.

Among other things.

I do it all myself. One of my good friends helps me out, free advice, which isn't normally recommended but I trust him. I have an ETRADE account and have it linked to my checking account. I watch stocks and CNBC all day. I probably check the market 30 times a day and update my spread sheets constantly. I have been making decent returns off bank stocks here lately. My suggestion to you is do some research on companies that interest you, for me it's banks, and get your accounts set up and linked. Then take a small amount, $1000 maybe, and pull the trigger. I'll admit, my Dad got me started with mutual funds, but once I was comfortable with the market I sold them all and reinvested in stocks. There is soooo much potential to make money. I have a double major and they are Business Administration in Banking and Finance with a concentration on financial planning and Pre Law. If I don't go to law school, then I will bet my MBA. My main stock right now is Bank of America which is up $.84 for the day so far. I think I am about to make a pretty large purchase of CITIGROUP. At $4.90 a share I can buy hundreds of shares, aka more money in the long run, hopefully, haha. BE warned though, once you start it WILL consume your life. It did for me at least haha. I'll hopefully be entering a stock trading committee at school this semester. Basically, you and your group get hundreds of thousands of dollars of real money to invest. The school flies to all over the country to observe the world of finance basically. You get a lot of information from some pretty smart people.
