Making money on the stock market is definitely not easy...The big boys are messing with us. If everyone on the Main Street could make money, Wall Street would be gone in a couple of days lol..
2012 will be another tough year in my humble opinion. I have been buying high risk stocks from 2008 to 2011. My average for QEC is about 2. I should be able to afford it as I am young. I can't do anything but sit tight. I intend to stockpile cash in 2012 and/or put my money in 'safe' companies like Coca-Cola, McDonalds etc. as I currently own high risk stocks.
Good luck to all of you.
