[ale] OT: Stock Traders?

[George Carless]

There are stock trading clubs which you can join and play the markets with
'pretend' money, to learn the ropes.  I'd recommend doing this before
laying down cash.. and to be honest, $150 really ain't enough to make it
worth playing the markets.. stick it in a savings account or whatnot,
instead.

Of course, I'm British and don't really understand my own country's
financial practices, let alone yours.  But I would think that an IRA or
whatnot would be a better bet, first of all, than stocks.
