makin' any money in the market?
Anyone making any money. I bought my first anything in the market back at the first of Oct. It's not actually stock, its ETF. I bought SLV at $11.69, it's at $12.91 now. I didn't buy much, but I'm up over 10% in 4 months. It was my first buy after reading "Stock Investing for Dummies". I'm still pretty much a dummy, but I'm learning. I'd like to put some more money out there now. I just have to get the "extra" to do that.

In a word NO…
I have my accts (2 IRA’s) at UBS and let them make all the wrong decisions at there discretion My retirement is with PURS, they seem to kick butt when necessary  I did however have my UBS agent buy Google at rock bottom and it seems to be up just a bit!

I've gotten killed along with the rest of the world as of late, but I don't need to touch the money for at least 20 years, so its all good. We're buying. Mostly blue chippy stuff.
