Day 27

More or less a continuation of yesterday’s discussion with more detail and emphasis on choosing individual stocks to invest in. You may want to stress that IRA/401k accounts are pre-diversified based on the goal of a particular fund. However, some IRA/401k accounts allow you to invest a portion of the fund in individual stocks. So, even if you currently don’t plan on purchasing an individual stock with our own money, you may as some future date still buy stock with a portion of your fund.
