When I got divorced and we sold our house I ended up with some cash that I put into the stock market. I spread it out over 20 companies or so. Like 4-5 K in each. It has been profitable for the most part but taxes take a large part of the gains. But still profitable.

I basically did it to make myself pay attention to the economy.

I agree that the stock market is gambling but if you diversify you can follow the basic trend of the market and maybe do a little better. My biggest winner over the years has been ARM. Bought a bunch of that five-six years ago and have been selling off pieces of it ever since.

PS: getting divorced sucks. I do not reccommend it unless you have a really sucky marriage.

Depends on the relationship. I asked my ex..."do you feel like being married anymore? ".... she said "nah". We agreed to split everything down the middle except I got the cat. Love the cat so I was pretty happy.

Sounds pretty amicable. I didn't get the cat when I divorced. Truth be told she was my ex wife's cat before we married so that was fair.

Having said that I missed that cat a lot when we split up. Sadly Ursa only lived another year and and a half after we split up.

Just got out of Microsoft a few weeks ago. Thankfully before this latest earnings report.
