Any Investors?

I just joined and this was the only section with no post so I wanted to be the first one.

Anyways, Here's my portfolio. I've been investing for less than a year so give me some advice.

HomeDepot bought at $34.04
Cisco bought at $22.75
MAMA bought at $13.45

any input?

MAMA, is that the search engine website that Mark Cuban is ranting and raving about? I hear good things about them...

Yeah MAMA's too damn Volatile. I sh*t in my pants every morning when I check the market.

How volatile can a stock be? Gains/losses of 10%/day??

did live cattle take a big hit due to the mad cow scare?

don't bother me....I'm eating.

i've been investing for about 10 years. made a lot of money with the dot com bubble....lost a lot of money + more when it burst.

today? i mess around with stocks now and then to gamble. have retirement in mutual funds and stuff like that mostly.

if anyone is interested in a personal financial planner, i'd be happy to refer you to the guy that i use. i used to manage all of this stuff myself but it just got too time consuming to do it right so i like using the advisor.

some say it's not a good deal, etc...but i have IRA, Roth IRA, 401k, variable comp life, and some other savings/type investment accounts (instead of using a bank savings account).

did you know that at the current rates of increase, college will cost like $150k/year when our kids go to college?
