Ahh the Stock Market! Most common folk like you and I understand very little of it, and probably don't have any extra pennies at the end of the month to drop into a "portfolio". That being said, we've all lamented (or been told!), "If I had only invested in this company or that company when they first came out I'd have made a fortune!"

For instance, if you'd have invested $1000.00 in Starbucks when it first went "public", that $1000.00 would now be worth over $3900.00! That's a lota lattes!
