One of the best investments out there now that you're entering the work force . . . put enough in your 401k to maximize the employer match.

If you're looking to buy a stock low though, Enron is at an all time low!

With that said, asking relative strangers for financial advice is a questionable approach for success.

Totally understand. And yes, I'm entering the workforce coming June, with full intentions to maximize my return through profit-sharing and 401k match. No doubt.

My intentions may not have been as clear, but I kinda just wanted to pick some "stranger's" brains. I may have missed the Apple train, but who knows what's next.

And that's why I added that I will do my own due diligence. Not trying to make any blind investments in the foreseeable future.
