That's just funny / sad

I bought AIG too, 100 shares this morning. I figured hey, for $3.50 its a good deal. At worst, it blows the sack and I lose $350. But for that dividend yeild and some potential of going up, its worth it.

BAC I wasn't so lucky, finally decided to get in at $28 for 50 shares, now it looks like its $20. I think I'll drop another 50 in at $20.

ETF's are something I'm looking to get into, but I'm not too sure where to buy them - funds from my bank (TD Waterhouse) ? From my (BMO) Investorline? I definately want to go in for ETF's or some sort of foreign investment into China/India, looking to go in a little more aggresively at 15-20% ... the only thing that scares me is China nationalizing companies I might own.
