The HL Investment Challenge - Page 10

Thanks, we all seem to be having a good time and I thought it would be cool to have some sort of prize as well as benifit our forum. I figured a small monetary award was in order.

Taken somewhat from another thread but the idea is to get some of our younger members (like me) thinking about not so much investing in the market but at least starting to plan for the future. To start thinking 401K or IRA or anything along those lines.

Beyond the market we can also discuss investment options in this thread. Tech Geek seems to place some serious thought into this stuff and hopefully will chime in.
