be a DRIP, get DRIPS |

think you'd like to own a piece of the GAP, McDonald's, Kellogg's,
IBM, Hershey's, Sara Lee, AT&T, or your local utility company
and get back some of those dollars you've spent on their products

Getting
started with Investing |
|
You
work. You earn decent money but you don't think you can
afford to invest so you go to the mall and blow your extra cash.
You made a New Year's resolution to start investing but you
keep putting it off until you have $5,000 or $10,000 you can
afford to risk. The truth is, if you want to achieve your dreams,
you can't afford not to invest.

breakdown of the Stock Ticker |
|

the screen. If you're going to be a serious investor, your first
step towards learning the language of investing is to know how
to read the ticker tape.

How
TO INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS |
|
If
you're too busy to pick your own stocks but still want to get
into the investment game, buy a mutual fund. Think of a mutual
fund as a giant investment club with a few million members who
have all hired a fund manager and a staff to pick and choose
when to buy and sell their stocks. |
