I hate the stock market with a passion. First, my mother got me into it and I lost money and got out. Then my brother got me into it years later and guess what happened. Yup! I sit on my stocks and pray that at some point, they'll rise to where I would have been in a bank before I die. In my dreams. Here's my investment advice: Don't buy equities unless you're an insider with illegal info on where a stock is going. It's a sucker's game.
