So how many members here own stocks? I personally have 20 shares in AMD, and 50 shares in Microsoft. Who else here owns stocks? If you do, post which one(s), and how many shares you have.

Mostly energy stocks from oilfield service companies to large integrated refining/petrochemical companies. More humans = more energy consumption.

I put $3000 in the market just to play with. Was down to $2700 at one point. Today I made it up to $3190. Only been playing for a few months, so far I've made more that if it had been sitting in savings.

people like buying individual stocks to actively support companies they like and believe in. it gives ppl a better sense of ownership rather than mutual funds, EFTs, or similar

even though i own individual stocks, a majority of my investments is through diverse otions such as mutual funds and what not
