Doing it yourself and giving it to a trader are two different things. It is scary, you could lose it all. You need to be smart and know the company your investing in. If the stock is cheap you can just take a chance sometimes, otherwise you need to study study study, thats where traders come in, thats what they do. But you gotta trust em. Im not to worried about any of it, im not gonna make a billion dollars anytime soon. Most people dont even get rich unless they leave there money in for 10+ years...
