Hey, I love your blog.  Like you I am also in tech, also in Vancouver, and also working downtown!  And also in my 30s.. well thats just plain neat really.  

Anyways, I just started getting into the investment game in the last few months now.  Previously, all my RRSP holdings (which dont exist anymore for reasons not worth mentioning here) were just some dumb mutual fund that made me negative 2 frickin percent.  Anyways, got rid of those. A few months ago, I started off with Credential Direct for 1000 loonies and then jumped ship and took all my holdings to questrade where I had to purchase another 1000 loonies.  I started off with Activision which just recently lost me money but am holding Apple and Microsoft.  Apple is doing well. Problem is.. I have no idea what I am doing really.   I am just going by gut instinct and learning what I can about company activities..etc.  Luckily I have a Business degree majoring in Accounting so the financials are home turf for me..   I use Google Finance for my primary newsfeeds and stock tracking.  The questrade interface absolutely sucks.  And if I had things setup correctly I could have averted disaster with the Activision share dump.  Are there tools that automatically dump my stock when it drops?  I am also thinking I should look into IPOs and signed up yesterday to a fool.com insider's tips.  I have been smart though to only put up 2000 which isnt going to burn a hole in my credit card or anything.  

Help!  I feel like a small tuna in the wrong fish tank.  I need tools and education before I end up drowning myself.  O so many questions! 

Feel free to post this on your site.  I am a faithful reader now.  P.S. Can I buy you Artegiano's?

Thanks.  Any help you could provide would be great.
