best way of learning stocks? looking to invest

[canadianhitman]

I've got quite a bit of money saved up, I am looking into invest into stocks?

or any other way to invest my money..

throw some ideas out!

whats the best way to learn stocks? I have no clue, and am willing to learn!

I learned a lot watching Business News Network, CNBC, ect. Watch shows like Mad Money. Now, I'm not saying jump on their recommendations...just watch and listen...look at what their analysts are evaluating when they are breaking down a company and whether or not it is a good investment. It's the easiest way to learn the 'lingo' and get the gist of things. You should be reading the business section of a quality newspaper daily also. Go from there.

LOL...yeah, right.

I'm starting to take a serious look at two stocks, Heckmann and Key Energy Services, two companies that make considerable money from servicing oil and gas fields that use 'fracking' through water treatment and disposal. Heckmann is the smaller player with bigger upside, while Key is the industry leader.

Fracking could lead to very bad environmental problems and there is a huge amount of Nat gas in the US, literally they can't store the stuff. Nat gas trucks??? That would get the price moving up. Commodities are the hardest to trade so I would stay away from them unless you trade short term and know what the Hell you are doing. Just saying....

BTW I had a bunch of silver under $15 an Oz. and sold it went over $46. There is a time and place for everything and silver will be a buy in the fall, mark my words.
