A couple of you have written telling me as to how loaded your e-mails are when you go in. Between Alerts and Newsletters, it doesn't take much to have a page or two of incoming investment info. More on "Too Much Information", at a later date.
The simple solution is to open an e-mail account dedicated to your Investment Experience. The BEST Site for this Windows Live Hotmail (and it's Free!). The good thing about opening an e-mail account with Live - it's indepenent of whatever carrier or browser you use.
After you create your new address, use it only for investment purposes. This has a great psychological benefit: you'll be in the right mindset to read the info when you enter. You'll know business is what you'll be doing and be ready for that topic. You won't be distracted by looking at those adorable baby pics your sister just sent you and go to the next entry to read advice on your investments.
Save your personal e-mail adresses for having "fun thoughts" with friends and family.
I've a friend who has a different e-mail addresses (14) for each "group" of his friends and family. He prioritizes which address to open to match his moods. Even I (a "Prince of Oganization") find that a bit obsessive, but DO have a dedicated address for your investing.
