The Investment Thread

AMZN? If you had got in on BlackBerry as recently as March of this year, you're looking at almost 70% return. They've really leveraged their acquisitions quite well.

I'd get in on Amazon before they eventually split or after this market has its long needed correction.

Honestly, I didn't even know BlackBerry was still around.

My investment rules for my IRA are simple. About half is in the S&P 500. I call it the "listen to warren Buffett rule". The rest is companies I know well, like, use, and think/know are doing well.

Currently I only own the 1 fund tracking the S&P 500, and two companies (it's not exactly a huge account). AMZN and LMT. I might cash out of LMT after dividend time and go on the hunt for something different. But for now, they're pretty steady. Not max growth, but I don't want to tie all my horses to growth.

My 401k is my far more diversified and somewhat less aggressive haven. But since I'm young, it is still aggressive.
