New PP Investor

Just made the jump and became a PP investor.  I am a new to the investing world and have been trying to learn as much as I can.  Stumbled across an article about HB and bought "Why the Best-Laid Investment Plans Usually Go Wrong".  I was pretty convinced by his logic but was uncertain about how to get started.  Then I found the Bogleheads thread and then this forum. 

Didn't have enough saved up to start a TLT/SHY/IAU/TSM portfolio so I went with PRPFX.  Hopefully in a year or two I will be able to start my own.  Anyway, wanted to introduce myself and thank craigr and everyone else for the forum and discussion.

Glad the information was useful. Starting off with a passive investing strategy early on will almost certainly insure you outperform most of your peers that take alternate routes during their own investing careers.

I am still young and am in graduate school so most of my peers look at me crazy when I start talking about investing.  Which was good I guess because I was able to get started with few preconceived ideas about portfolio management.
