I just made my first foray into the stock market.

Well, I’m in the middle of this introductory stock market class (which isn’t all that good, mind you), and I say to myself, “Self, you know, I’ll have a few extra dollars this paycheck . . . so what the hell!” On a part of this class, I did a little research and found a sector of the market I thought I might do well with and I know a little about—Industrial Building Materials.

So, I went through my bank and placed an order to buy this morning, before the market opened up. And what ho, there I have an executed order! (Currently my market value is $-16.45)

So yeah! I bought 300 shares at $1.45 each. This is cool! Pretty soon, they’ll be replacing that old guy on the Monopoly cards with me! (But not with my current market value. . .)

Hell, I hope I live up to my screen name. :smiley:
