We CAN Do This!

Dear Crystal Lou

It does make my head spin when I see all those charts and lines and dots and abbreviations but as you pointed out, it can’t be any more complicated than knitting a Christmas stocking or putting sequins on a prom dress and you know how I can work a bedazzler, so maybe I can figure this out.

This blog is about us learning everything we can about the stock market, investing, bonds, finance, and more and then teaching it to other people who might one day stumble upon this nonsense.

That’s how I got good at knitting after all. It was just a bunch of us knitting together and teaching each other something after we learned it. I’m just going to do exactly that with learning about stocks and bonds and finance. Learn something, and then teach it to you Crystal Lou, and anyone else who wants to know. Heck EVERYONE else who wants to learn is welcome here.

So, if you are reading this, I just want to say “HEY” first of all and 2nd, You aren’t dumb, but you might be like us and ignorant.

I’ll bet there’s like 10 thousand things you can do really well and not one of those stock brokers would have a clue about ! So what, you don’t understand the investing world, it’s cause you never learned it.

Well dang it, let’s open the door and step inside that world. I mean if Uncle Larry can come out of the closet for being gay, and the grandma kissed him smack on the lips and said she already knows and didn’t die of a stroke, I’m pretty sure I can step into the world of finance without bringing down the economy.

So this is for all of us who have been quietly ashamed of not knowing what is going on, and mostly not feeling like we had two pennies to rub together to invest in the market anyway.
