but also, people have gotten rich by suggesting stock picks on forums only because they already owned the stock and then people started buying it like crazy as word spread

Sounds like Cramer, well with the exception of Bear Stearns. Whoops!

I've done really well. I made 28% last year on my investments.

That's not really well, that's about average (SEE: "overheated market")

This is true, but you also have to remember that there have been enormous inflows of money from the bond market to stocks, which has also inflated stock prices a bit.

Same reasons though. Interest rates in this synthetic, phoney economy have only 1 direction to go.

Have you seen the trade proposals and prospect evaluation on this board, this is the last place I'd go for investment advice.

After seeing -12 to -30 % just a few years ago, I will take +22 all day long.

Thanks. I'm not looking to make any money quickly, which I know can take a lot more money and time than I have. I'm going to start out with investing not too much in handful stocks and just keep my eye on it throughout the year. Definitely not doing day-to-day type stuff.

If you have the stomach and like to gamble do a triple leveraged (3x etf) but don't hold it more than a few days or even hours. You can either get rich quick this was if you understand and have discipline or you will lose your shirt.
