How does one learn about buying/trading stocks, bonds, ect, ect?
 
I need to find the time to do some research. It looks like this is a great time to do it, and be ready for the next upswing.

Best thing in my opinion, is to start out watching a couple stocks of companys you like. All publically traded companies have a stock symbol Under Armour (UA) General Electrick (GE) etc. You can go to any stock / financial online page and type in symbol or search for symbol of any company.

Paper trade at first, just do a spread sheet, write on a paper whatever, write down 100 shares of a co, whatever the ask price is for that day and then watch each day. example:
8/21/2007 Company: UA Price: $66.91 Total: $6691

Then watch a couple more once you get comfortable. Check different sites for financials. Read alot about the companies, look at charts for past history, etc.

Once you get the hang of stocks, then you can research bonds, mutual funds, whatever.

Or, you could just buy a stock with real money and watch and feel the pain in your chest and left arm when it drops over 50% in a matter of days. Get alittle excitement in your life, for me I've had that kind of excitement and prefer slow and steady.

Once you are ready to actually buy you will have to open a trade account with someone: TDAmeritrade, Schwab, etc. Deposit money in account and then execute an order.
 
lately Cramer is as bad as Suzie Ormon , treads back on all he offer just a few weeks prior. I always love her as she was an investment broker and heavily into commisioned annuities, now she's against them even though they paid for her lavish lifestyle and the newer ryders with protection were never in place. TV is not where to learn about investing !
 
Who else made a ton off VMWare today? OH MAN they were up almost 14% today!!!
 
What do you guys think about CANSLIM? I have Oneils book, and thought it made a lot of sense.

Thank you :cheers: I gunna do some homework now.
 
Paper trading to get a hang of the concept will help, but its missing one thing that doing real trades has...."emotion", hardest part is knowing when not to get out and when to stop when your ahead, greed sets in. Have to avoid emotion tied to a stock, I'll cut my losses and cut my gains as well. And don't look back, if you say "wish I did this, or wish I got out at that point" it will eat at you,

I agree, greed will take your money. You have to realize at the start that you will never enter a stock at the lowest point and never sell at the highest point. You may get lucky once but never consistently.

Patience on the other hand will make you money. If a stock you are looking at takes off, be patient because it very well may come back to you.

My two cents again
