My first post

Last year my mutual fund investments were down ~40% which as you could imagine was quite sickening to me. This year through 12/16/2009 my self managed 401K is up 15.1% via swing trading. So, I am thankful that things are going much better this year. Update: as of 1/1/10 here's what Fidelity says my return is "Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2009 to 12/31/2009 is 17%".

Some of the resources that I've used to learn are:

Cheers and good luck with your investing goals.
