So I know the mutual fund side of the industry already.
So I decided I wanted to branch out and Invest into the stock market. So 2500 seems like some decent play money for stocks.
I do some research and then buy a few stocks. Most of them are up. A few are up quite a bit. But JRCC James River Coal Company was
already up 147% during the year when I bought it. Now it is past 200%. Man had I dropped 10k into it May first I would be +++ $7136.
But no I bought a measily 10 shares ---- laughable as an investment I know ---- I was just testing and learning the stock program a bit.
A part of me wants to liquidate a bunch of mutual funds so I can invest in stocks. Maybe 60% stocks and 40% mutual funds.
