Investing in the stock market is fun

I began investing in individual stocks in October 2005. By October 2007, I had doubled my money and felt pretty good about the choices I'd made. Now, less that one year later, I'm right back where I started in 2005.

I do own more total shares of stocks than I did then (due to selling shares at a profit and buying into other companies).

I am in for the long haul, so I'm not overly concerned yet. However, it would be nice to be at the end of this soon. I'm not in a position to buy at this time, but if you are, there are some real deals out there in some very good companies.
