Do you own any stock?

Yes.

No.

Only indirectly through mutual funds. In the past I dabbled in stocks from about the mid-80s until about 15 years ago. The stock market is a dangerous game to play. It's not much different than gambling - gambling when most people don't even know the rules of the game.

I took a class in college on it. I literally took out every book in the library on it. I read a couple from cover to cover, and at least a few chapters if the rest. But it still boiled down to one thing. I was guessing.

Mostly ETFs. Easier to diversify with ETFs. But I do have a much smaller account where I have direct stocks. I feel like it’s performance is worse than my ETFs tho. But I need to do another analysis of it to see it’s performance.

I own my home and it's paid for. I paid down my mortgage instead of investing in paper.
