I use a broker @ Edward Jones. I keep my stuff in 'blue chip' stocks that are relatively safe and pay decent dividends. The younger you are , the more risk you can afford to take. The more risk, the higher the reward. At my age 54, i am just trying to hang on to savings accumulated over 30 years. To make da cheese, you have to lay those nads out there...When I signed up, I filled out a form that asked me what my 'pain threshold' was. The last week has tested that(risk tolerence) very much..
