Ok so you turned $500 into whatever you have in 3 years thats good i'm happy for you but I find it unlikely that you didn't run way over expectation to do so. From what I remember I read a post with you saying that you depositted a small ammount via credit card.
so last week my dad wants to buy some stocks, and i say dont do it, give me the money and I will bet NFLx teasers. and my moms like we cant do things that risky. yea cause the dow cant drop 20% in a week.
