I just look back wishing I had bought in on Google years ago.  At the moment I am trying to decide if I can justify paying $15 for the trade, I only have a very small amount to risk, just have to decide how small that small amount is.  Not sure if just buying one or two shares is worth the hassle or not, hell, I don’t even know if I can buy just one or two shares.  LOL  I’m such a stock dummy.  Wonder if there is a Stock Trading for Dummies book I could get from the local book store…. Need to go looking.  I don’t have patience to wait for Amazon or Barnes & Nobel to send me a book right now.
