That's funny Stjames. I was 12 and my uncle bought me a copy of "How to buy stocks" by Louis Engel. I read it did research and told my uncle I think ATT would be a great investment. This was nearly 30 years ago. His broker sent me a prospectus with a big F- written on it with a red magic marker. A handwritten note was attached telling me that the government was going to be breaking up ATT and basically it would fall into the abyss.. I was so traumatized that I never dealt with the stock market until 3 years ago when I could open an account online with my checking account and not talk to an evil broker that broke my heart. hehe
