Gecko, I have a starter investment plan of $20/mo going toward the ETFs I listed earlier. I am holding everything else in my portfolio. As of now, the goal for this account is strictly as a learning platform. Once I understand more I would like to have this taxable account supplement my retirement savings in my 401k.
Here's the rest of my allocations:
CASH - $83.64 - 17%
STOCKS - American Railcar Industries - 8%, Activision Blizzard, Inc. - 7%, Motorola Solutions - 5.3%, American Airlines - 2.6%, Google - 2.4%, Scripps Networks - 2%, Apple - 1.8%, Ford - 1.6%, Target - 1.3%
Total Market Value of Account : $463.35
KingCoin, I think I agree with you. I have a lot of money in other savings accounts but I'm holding the bulk of the money in those accounts for now.
