HTSU- I agree with the Mutual Funds-
I still have many individual stocks that I have hand picked over the years (including Google)
Well! Google? You are now my bestest, bestest friend!
Investing in individual stocks is a lovely idea, but not for people with severe ADHD who work two jobs. I was halfway to work today, three hours late, when I realized that I was wearing my fuzzy slippers and had left my wallet with drivers license at home. If I have to keep track of anything more than my 6 little TSP funds and 2 little Roth IRA funds, I'm doomed.
LOL !!!!!!

Oh believe me, I remember that date well. 
Was having lunch with some coworkers, and they were wishing they could get in on the IPO. I told them they were nuts.
As a consolation prize, I did pretty well with MO that year. But I really did quit picking stocks after that.
Mostly.

OOh, that reminds me of my first year teaching. I had some purple/black skort/suit thing on. Somehow I put on brown tights with one navy shoe and one black shoe. Funky bad!
I want to play with stocks, real stocks, but I asked my financial guy and he said I could only play around with about 600 bucks. Shucks. MF's, err, mutual funds just aren't that much fun. I act like I don't even have a Roth IRA. It's much easier that way.
