Ben Graham, and the fundamentals?

[Choose Ye This Day]

Good idea. Pick up a copy of "The Intelligent Investor" by Graham, study it thoroughly, and find some well managed companies that you believe in. Buy and hold, and don't get scared out unless the fundamentals change.

Either that, or find a mutual fund where the manager will do the same thing, if you don't want to go through the hassle.

At $1000 to start, and another $50 a month, you've got a pretty good idea who is going to make money in this arrangement--and it's not the people who BUY the software.
