After Friday’s big market panic I couldn’t resist the temptation to buy my last share of IVV. Today’s price was $146.38. Now if I would have only bought one share of IVV at 151 instead of two. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20. Especially when it comes to the stock market.

Remember, I have $506.00 in my Zecco free stock Trading account. I’m starting to move into the market now that it’s back down. On my last free trade I made $6!
