I just did something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but for various reason, was never able to do until now. Yesterday, I opened an account with Scottrade.com, an online stock broker. Today, all the money was in order, and I was able to buy my first stock. It’s actually pretty exciting.
So here’s what I want to do. I decided that I’m going to go against one of the basic rules of investing, which is to make sure that your portfolio is diverse, and I’m going to mainly invest in video game and tech-related companies. Also, I’m going to chronicle the events here in threevue.com, and tell you all about my wins (hopefully), and losses (hopefully not).
So here’s what I’ve done so far. I deposited $550 into the account, and I bought 5 shares of Sony (SNE) at $43.42 each (I know it’s not much, but I’m no Gordon Gekko). I feel that the PS3 is going to have a very strong year, and some agree with me.
If anyone has any tips or suggestions, feel free to let me know. Let’s see what happens.
