Opened an account at Virtual Brokers. A coworker was showing me that site. I always wanted to get into the stock market but was never sure how. Think I'm going to dump a chunk of my tax return into oil companies. For now I'll probably mostly play with cheap stocks. This will be just for fun to get extra play money. If I lose I lose, but if I win, then great. Not going to put my life savings into it or anything.
I have a lot of reading up to do on actual trading, as to be real good at it you need to understand the markets more and various concepts of how to know when is a good time to buy/sell, noticing trends etc... Not going to put any crazy amounts of money into it till I understand more what I'm doing. Should be a fun ride.
