it was a really smart choice for me at such a young age.... it wasn't luck either
my mom and dad used to play ford all the time. in and out in and out in and out... so just hearing them talk and being around it I picked up on how things worked and then I heard marvel was going to start making movies... and it just sort of clicked, and I dumped my small life savings on it (at the time 10 grand)
I've been shifting in and out of the valleys and peaks ever since..... just reinvesting and taking a cut off the top to put away for when I hit mid life crisis
Saw Ironman, and as someone who basically hates every film not named "The Shawshank Redemption," "Saving Private Ryan," and "Last of the Mohicans," I gotta say it was pretty damn kickass. As expected, Robert Downey Jr. was real sharp, altho I don't love Terrance Howard to be frank. Some nice references to the Marvel Universe (and a good post-credits scene) and I am not sure how no one mentioned this yet, but GREAT homages to Han Solo chasing the Stormtroopers from the first Star Wars, to Aliens "Getsum! Getsum!" and to Robocop smashing through the wall! How had no one mentioned this?!
SPOILERS (highlighted below:)
After the credits Tony Stark comes into his house, and Nick Fury from SHIELD is standing there (played by Sam Jackson) and he asks something like "Can we talk about... the Avengers Initiative?"

seeing as so many people have good things to say about it I'm uhhhh... "ordering" it right now, when it's done "being delivered" I'll put in my .02 of what I think about it
Great movie, thought it was a little short though.

Just got back from seeing it. ****ing awesome. Ending was awesome, left room for a (definite) sequel, but still a bit sketchy. Lol not exactly the smartest move on Stark's part (for those who saw it, you know what im talking about), but still awesome.

I guess that I will have to go and see it again.
