Default Re: Couple newb questions about opening an online brokerage account.

It is reckless. My advice would be to put the money in index funds and then experiment in a play money account.

It seems everyone suggest that index funds are the right way to go. So is that to say that real money making should be left to the experts? And I a play money account is the same as a poker play account. You never put as much effort into a play account as you would into a real account. Having positive results in a play account can be a recipe for disaster. Once again i just find it troubling, the common suggestion of "put it into an index fund".
