The stock market made my StepFather-in-law and his Brother both Millionaires. Too bad he wasn't blood, but he did leave us a little itty bit. Most of it went to charitys, schools, churches...BAHHHHH!!

And today I would be ahead $20. Which means a 10% profit. I think I may very well invest a little in a few months. Going to keep watching though.

The stock markets have been moderately good to us, but ya gotta play them a little. Like buy an S&P 500 index fund when the index drops below 800 and sell when it gets alot higher. But beware:

S&P 500 index April 1999: 1361
S&P 500 index right now: 1346

Not a very good long term thing.

I am an investor, and I have done pretty well thru the years. its work if you want to sit on it yourself and watch it go up and down, but once you reach a certain level, you can pay someone else to manage it for you. I love the penny stocks, its a great deal of fun.
