what is the best way to learn stocks?

Answer 1

Start off learning the basics with free info from websites (such as Yahoo Finance or www.youngmoney.com). There you can learn all the fundamental concepts and terms.

You might want to check out a few virtual trading websites too. A couple of good ones are FantasyStockMarket.com and Investopedia's Fantasy Stock Market Simulator (simulator.investopedia.com). Several online brokerage sites also have simulators you can use if you sign up for them. A good one for options comes with signing up with www.optionxpress.com.

You can browse through the trading and investing section at your local B&N or Borders, but that's usually just a tidal wave of information. One of the better ones I've seen, if you already know the basics, is surprisingly Jim Cramer's "Real Money."

But by far, the best way to learn about stocks is to join an investing club. Just by being around others who love the stock game and hearing what they say, and how they think, it is the easiest and fastest way to get to know what you need to get started.

Hope this helps!

Read lots of books. There are good and bad ones. Ones that are simple and pragmatic and brilliant; there are ones with a lof of stats and complex math formulas like Fibonacci numbers with wave calculations. Stay away from the heavy math ones. They try to trick you into thinking that the more mathematical and complex the explanations are, the better the methods and approach. It isn't, the simpler ones are actually better. Know this for sure - most people think that that 99 percent of the battle is picking the stock. It isn't - learn about money management too!!! For instance, would you put all your eggs into one basket? (i.e buy one stock and pin all your hopes on it). It's not rocket science but it is one of the hardest pursuits b/c it involves human emotions which complicate the decision making. Greed and fear play havoc with stock traders who know all the rules and yet they still break them because of fear and greed (weak discipline).

Good books? - Market Wizards, New Market Wizards, Remiescience of a Stock Operator, High Probability Trading, Trend Following.

Read these - especially the Market Wizards series b/c it is like a mentorship program where the traders tell there stories of how they learned through trial and error - becoming practically bankrupt before becoming successful. Learn from them!!! There are common themes on why they lost and common themes of why they became succesful. Also, never believe a system that you can purchase, plug in the numbers and it spits out the stock to buy and you will retire in 2 years!! That's bullshit and I would swear on my Grandmother's grave that it is. Always keep learning and keep informed.

There are many sites online that provide excellent stock trading education. All you have to do is use Google or Yahoo and type keywords like "stock education" or "learn stocks". A really good one is http://www.fool.com

That said, trading stocks might not be in your best interest. I recommend you read the following articles written by Mark Cuban. He basically says unless you have some information edge (read: inside investor), stocks are for suckers. Check them out. They are good reads whether or not you agree but what he says is the truth.

I personally used to trade stocks and options, but now I solely trade currencies. The foreign exchange market is much bigger than the stock market and can't be manipulated by Wall Street.
