Thought I would take a sec to mention a company I found last Oct called Sharebuilder.com
It is an online broker like etrade and scottrade
It is really great for people just getting started in investing or saving. They have no min. to open account and you can buy stocks for $4 (at etrade you need to make 50+ trades a month to qualify for $7)
I have been happy with the company. I have found that most people think that investing in stocks takes alot of money to start. Wrong... I believe Sharebuiler is 6th or 8th biggest online brokers.
I will probaly switch when my account gets larger to a etrade type company but for now Sharebuiler is wonderful to learning and starting to save.
I see alot of young tradesman 20-30 that make a ton of money on production pay but do nothing but blow it every week because they don't know what to do with it.
I love that we all went to school to learn but they failed to really teach us about the one thing that we would spend the rest of our lives chasing. Chris

Like a oldtimer told me this trade retires you you don't retire from it.
