I know a fair amount about real estate but very little about the stock market!

How is that investment working out Kate? I just saw that the broad market indexes are up I believe over 40% since March. Looks like you chose a good time to get in!

Now watch the market crash tomorrow :)

It closed at 7.50 today (I bought it at 6.42). Fingers crossed!

But of course you're right. It's undoubtedly beginner's luck, and I'll probably lose it all by Friday night. :[

P.S. I only bought 100 shares, but it's still exciting to watch it fluctuate. :)

Well you're doing alot better than me! I'm still trying to recover my losses from 2008. Down over a thousand dollars in one of my funds. Ouch!!
