ooby_dooby: I'm just looking for somebody to talk investing with. I've been involved in Wall St since 1967.
Have you tried any of the online stock investor forums? There are several topics of conversation a lot of people find taboo. I know for me (raised long before the internet came to be so popular) I grew up in a family that there were several taboo topics. Politics, religion, finances and other peoples bussiness As I have aged I have discovered the whys of this.
I'm more into a chest full of silver but I'd like to know my options. Everybody is a capitalist these days you don't make much - with proportion - by going to work.
I stopped buying Corporate stock about 10 years ago, since then I have been strictly into Corporate and Municipal Bond funds. They are lot more stable pricewise, and they pay a higher dividend.
This comes a across as a repost. I say again what I said last time: my family members all lost money on it, so I actually agree with you that fond is just as well.

Yahoo Finance has alot of stock msg boards to join in and chat about your holdings or whatever you're thinking of jumping into, or got burned by or profited with in the past. It's a good place to get a feel for what other people are into.
It's kind of a shame that this has turned into a kind of a joke forum. I was prepared to offer you all some good info on making a lot more money than you might be getting from a savings acct or stashing your nest egg in your sock drawer
