and end up no better off than they could do on their own. a lot of times you will do better to just buy indexes with low fees and not pay extra broker crap.

a friend of mine isn't going to school this semester coz he lost his tuition money in the stock market. ok so that's not advice but it goes to show: if you come to a point where you wanna buy a lot of stock and plan to borrow money to do that, think very, very hard.

I didn't know ecost had an ipo recently. I've followed the site over the years because I used to shop at onsale.com in '99 which they bought in 2000 I think.

I always had great experiences with ordering from them, but would rather see the dentist for a root canal than use their site. They have had a history of being very slow to advance their site, which is why only now they had an ipo. It took a few years just to add pictures to everything, well after everyone else went there. I think they are too inept/slow to be able to keep up with online market changes and advancements. If you're looking for the next amazon.com, look elsewhere - they are going nowhere imo.

Learn everything you can about Net Present Value.

If you can calculate the NPV of all future revenue of a company and it is higher than the stock price - BUY
