I've read a couple of good books, Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Richest Man in Babylon. Anybody know of any other good books leading to financial freedom?

No, what I meant is what is it that you invested in. A particular stock, mutual fund, a business venture, etc? How's it doing for you?

so you just joined an investors group by writing a check and nothing else? Do you know what they're doing with your money or are you just like whatever, and let the cash roll in?

Yeah.. go ask him.

On the other hand, everyone pretty much says something different.

I used to work at this place www.prosperlearning.com and they offer coaching in real estate.. stocks.. etc, etc..

You put down like 4k on you cc.. then they work with you personally, for a year, and they basicallly help everyone get back that orginal 4k in the first 2 months.

I'm going to do it.. PM and I'll fill you in with more details.. its the best way to get into stocks/real estate/online biz.. whatever..

yeah penny stocks are pretty gnarly.. about two weeks ago i bought 500 shares of this new company (achm) at 1.74... now its down something like 30%. two days ago i got 100 shares of siri(sirius radio) and 100 of tsm(taiwan semiconductor manufacturer) and both of those have been up. its too early to tell for all of these though
