Don't look at it that way...look at it as a lot of the regulars don't have the money to lose ( ).

Best advice I can give is something I read in a book once: Stick to what you are familiar with. For me, for example, I work in IT, so I have a little more knowledge about things in that "world". (not that it's helped a lot).

So, before I go, let me tell you a little story:

Once upon a time, I bought 300 shares of a little company on the day it went public. Oh, it seems like 10 years ago or so. It did nothing for about half a year and the $4,200 I spent looked like it was doing nothing...so I sold at a loss of about $500 and left it. That stock was AOL...and today, had I left it, it would be worth over $100,000 (with splits and growth)...
