re: How did you get into the stock market?

Just out of college and in my first real job with company benefits. My dad tells me, "this is the most money you have ever made in your lifetime to this point, invest no less than 10% in the company 401k plan, and increase it every time you get a raise until its maxed".

I listened to that advice, went to some classes that were sponsored by our employers plan provider, continued to network with investors outside of the company.. its been a slow, steady, but productive journey.. thanks to my dads advice.
