Index fund or sit idle
While I am studying up on stocks and the stock market should I just let my cash sit idle or should I throw it in an index fund? Also, how long does it usually take to get comfortable investing? I've read through a couple of tutorials at morningstar.com and fool.com and have read Beating the Street. I plan on picking up the intelligent investor soon. Sorry to start another "how do i get started in investing" thread.
Thanks |

Put it in a savings account like ING Direct or Emigrant Direct while you do research.
