Online trading.

[gymrat]

I'm thinking about buying some stocks. Any suggestions? I am new to the whole stock scene, so any help would be great.

A suggestion to do so online would be nice too.


Cheers.

so you have decided to get into the market. now, the next step is for you to take the next 6months learning about investing. especially if you are planning to do your own trading on line. I manage all my finances online via scottrade.com and have done such for the last 5 years.

I was a student of finance at university which gave me the background I needed to be able to do what I do today. Despite that, it has taken years of reading and risk to be as successful as I am. online investing is not something you can just jump into (somewhat depending on your goals).

www.fool.com
www.thestreet.com
www.wsj.com
www.cnnfn.com

these are great resources that you should read daily. I highly recommend the fool site. It is great for people wish to know more about personal investing!

if you have specific questions about managing personal finances, please let me know

If you want to reap all the rewards of investing but don;t want to go through the hassle of learning the ins and outs and would rather other people place orders for you and invest it where thye think it should go, then go to www.mrswing.com and click the link on the left called qqq swings. Basically this guy and some other investors know set patterns for stocks called swings, and they make a killing on it. They have the patterns pretty much down to a tee. They have the track records ont he site also so you can see how they have done in past months. Granted some days yeah, you will lose money, but it all works out in the end. For example, whatever you invested on July 30th 2002..IN 10 weeks you would have got a 65% return on your investment. If you invest 10 grand, thats 6500 bucks in 10 weeks, and these guys pull this shit off consistantly. It's a lot easier to get into than daytrading considering I think the new laws state you need a 30k minimum in your account to daytrade without penalties or whatever. These guys will let you in at 2k, since it's not daytrading, and they will also give you margin. Check it out. I am dedicated to working for the next however many months to save up 10g's and let them take me to the promised land.

Can you explain to me what a bond is? What are the benefits and disadvantages of investing in a bonds compared to putting your money in a stock?

You have to be joking.

I hope you're not planning on trading anytime soon.
