Not sure if you remember, but back in October Warren Buffet put $3 billion in GE @ $22.25 / share. Although he missed the bottom, I'm sure he will end up in the positive on his investment.

You definitely have the advantage at your age to benefit long term from the market. Now, in my fifties my portfolio isn't looking as good as it did a few of years ago, but I intend to wait it out as I'm sure it will appreciate in value eventually - and if it doesn't I'll be doubly glad I followed the advice to never invest anything I wasn't prepared to live without. ‘Don’t borrow on unrealized gains’ is the best advice ever – I hope people pay attention to that.

Obviously cars and houses are exceptions to the rule. On a side note, I use tradeking.com for dabbling in the markets. You might want to check it out.

I can't believe how many people I know that don't even have a savings account. I don't care how much or how little money you make, you should always be stashing some cash away.

You know him, he was a PPP blogger for a while and now he took his PPP money and is playing a weekly market game and blogging it in a segment he calls Financial Fridays. He still can't spell or string two words together without screwing them up but the dog can make some money, at least for now. As far as my investing strategy, I just keep putting money into my ROTH each month and waiting. If you did play the stock market you could learn a thing or two from Stephen The Dog.
