Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 i LOVE this. Being only 24 i have never really had a good time or reason to get into the game. I plugged 1500 in on Friday and with the market going even further down i can start putting more and more in. When this thing rights its self in a few months or years i might actually have enough for a down payment on a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
