I am getting ready to do a little shopping as soon as I figure out about online trading. But I will not risk what I cannot risk. We are retired, and I do not hear anybody beating down our door to give us good jobs again.

I wonder what will happen to that relatively friendly cap gains tax on dividends and stock selling. It is set to expire at the end of next year I think it is. Are they stupid enough to raise it? (Ya think!!!)

Before I make an investment, I always ask myself two questions. Do I understand what I am buying? Will it let me sleep at night?
