I've learned a bit about how cold calls work (and how to
deal with them, although I don't get any cold calls overseas), what a trade should cost
with a discount broker (about $ 30), why I really don't have any business
messing with options (too risky, too fast moving), why I
probably don't want check - writing privileges on my mutual fund (too many taxable events to report), and such things.
