    I have $2000 to invest in the stock market, and I can afford to add $150 per week. PayPal is currently trading at 156.00, I was thinking of buying as much as I can, and adding as I go....however, I'm starting to think this might not be a good idea....

    Also, If the AAR of S&P500 is 10%, does that mean that if I invest $10,000 now....in 10 years I'll only have made an additional $10,000?
    That is a horrible investment over a 10 years period, isn't it? Please tell me I'm missing something here....?

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Only you can decide how and where to put your money. If you intend to be a long-term investor, than there's nothign wrong with adding on to a position you believe in as often as you can.

    If an investment returns 10% a year, here's what your $10,000 would look like after each year. Actually I did 30 years for you just for shits.
