Well, I have officially pulled the trigger and purchased my first stock. Have been reading lots and have tried to use as much information from not only this forum but plenty of other locations like podcasts, financial articles and such. Have stayed away from those popups about making my millions day-trading that appear on Facebook and Google though...
Still, I feel like I have just jumped in the deep end of the pool with concrete shoes on as I watch the stock price rise and fall in a never ending cycle of ups and downs hoping I made a wise decision, but I guess now it will just come down to time and how fast it will tell me how "wise" my choice was.
Am eager to see how this all plays out and have made a conscious decision to not constantly check the price every 2 mins as that may drive me insane. Thanks to everyone who had some input and I hope to have plenty more opportunities on the market.
