I own stock in a couple of companies, and was just curious if anyone else here did.  Mainly this topic came to mind because one of the companies I a whole wopping 8 shares of stock with ATI, the video card maker of course, and their stock for a long time has just kinda sat around, not gone up or down much.  Then suddenly within the last week or so, it has gone up about $5 a share.  Good for them I say....but I wish I would have had some money to buy more shares when it was at about $13.

So....does anyone own stock?  If so, what companies?

Corning done pretty decent?  I thought about buying into them if/when I get the money.  Google would have been great to buy into when it first came into the market.

Right now I have Evergreen Solar, and ATI.  Ive got more shares with Evergreen, and they are a pretty average rate, up a little down a little.  Fluctuates kinda often which frustrates me, and makes me consider selling it....but I dont think I ever will, atleast not any time soon.  If anything, I hope to buy more.  Downside being it takes money to buy it lol, and I tend to be somewhat short on that lol.

And if anyone is wondering, I am 21.  I am financially independent considering I pay for all my living expenses (rent, electric, gas, cell phone, car payment & insurance, etc.).  Just wanted you all to be aware

I've been messing around with a Forex Practice Account.  Sometimes I think I enjoy it more than gaming.  Pretty cool platform, wish I had some real money in there....

I use FXCM myself. I've traded a few practice accounts, and I drove a few of them into the ground. I've spoken with a few people about forex trading and most of them agreed it was one of the most dangerous and toughest markets to be in.

As mentioned, it could be because AMD acquired ATI recently.

The wife and I don't have the time to research individual stocks, so we invest in an S&P 500 Index fund.  overall we've done well, though we're takign a beating right now.  Moving more into T-Bills until things in the Middle East settle down.

kinda hard to own stock when your below the age of 18 and your either a. restricted by age, or b. get the SHIT taxed out of you cos your underage and the government wants to stop you or your parents getting money off you. bloody annoying, cos i wanna get some stock. probably have to get it in my dads name till i turn 18.
