Thinking back about Stocks

After all the recent talks about the market, etc. I was thinking back to when I actually did some rather small online trading in my attempts to make some money.  Now I did make some but not a whole lot really as I never invested more than $1000, and after looking back over the years I probably should have just kept that money in the account and put it on some long term growth accounts, but I was younger and obviously I didn’t care.

Now I really should be looking into some type of retirement fund so it can start building over the next 30 years.  Crap I still have 30 years to go, wow, that sounds horrible, lol.  Anyways my goal in 2009 is to get back to investing somewhere so we are actually trying to earn something with our money instead of spending it.
