Going into the stock market is like going into a candy store, once you are in, you can hardly pull yourself out.
I suggest you talk to someone qualify to discuss this. My other half convinced me to go back to the stock market as I have some money to invest in addition to my 3 months expenses worth of saving (emergency fund)
educated or uneducated people got burned in that one...so doesn't matter..LOL

your meaning of education could be college education
but a truly well educated investor would limit his exposure so that unless the world comes to an end, any market meltdown would not cost more than 10% of his capital
"""But to determine who is actually qualified, you need to know a whole lot yourself. By that time, you are probably qualified yourself."""
it is partly truth. other major factors are time & resources. how much time would you like to spend on monitor the markets & do your own research? the big co. have ton of people to do the research & analysis, do you have that much backup? so why not talk to some investors.
