Just starting investing three days ago. 70 years young. Ret nest egg
eaten by a drug-addicted son. Spent the $600 for Money Map. Was gonna ask for a refund, but even teasers can be leads. I have a current ”trader” portfolio with four stock choices…totaling about $3K initial capital. I use Gum Shoe (irregular member), Motley Fool and Google to size up my choices. I read everything I can find before pulling the trigger. All four of my buys are in the red, but it’s only been two days. I gain much insight from comments here. Not a long term type of guy. Actually, I’m just trying to keep my mind active.. Invensense (INVN) is my next consideration. Still reading. Any comments? Thanx for your time.
