Hi all--
One of my customers came into the club last night and was telling me that he just bought a UPS store here in town. I was appaled cuz he looked so young (he's 25!) So I asked him how he was able to do that at such a young age and he told me he started with 500 dollars when he was 18 and put it into the stock market on etrade.com. While hes telling me this im thinking damn, i've got more than that saved up, I could be doing that! But heres the thing my parents got divorced over my dad doing the same exact thing. Day trading. He lost almost all out family's savings, which I believe was because he never went to college or anything and jsut started "gambling" on etrade.com. So I'm kinda scared.
So my question is, how should I go about investing my money relatively safely. I am willing to take college classes so that I know what i'm doing but which ones should I take? Or, could i hire an accountant, etc? I would love any advice you experienced ladies could give me. Do any of you guys daytrade online? And how did you get started on making informed investment descisions? I live in SoCal, btw so if you know of any good resources i would be very grateful!
much love-
