websites, books, magazines, etc.

Answer 1

Books:

The super classic is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre, the story of one of the biggest stock traders ever.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel is also a classic.

The Millionaire Mind by Thomas Stanley is a huge classic, really amazing.

Don't forget The Cashflow Quadrant and Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities, from Martin Pring, is the best for technical stuff.

You can learn a lot by reading interviews of successful investors in Jack Schwager's books (Market Wizards I & II and others).

Jack Bernstein's The Investor Quotient is very, very good.

Answer 3

I went this route when I was younger. Don't waste your time.

I, surprisingly ended up making more than I lost, so I was ahead, but it wasn't worth it. I could have done better, without all the work and worry, by just buying CDs and letting them quietly earn compounded interest for me.

Now I understand why old retired people in Florida have CDs instead of stock. Stock has no guarantees, you can lose your money, all of it. CDs are guaranteed. You can't lose your money.

Over the past 100 years, stocks have averaged 7% gain, or so I'm told, and there was always the worry of losing your money. In addition to that, you have to pay fees. So your net is less than 7%. CDs, on the other hand, averaged 5%, with no fees, and no worries.

CD's are the way to go in my opinion.

Answer 4

A great site to look at is http://www.top10traders.com. The site lists out which investors are doing the best and what stocks they have bought. Just click on the portfolio of the best investors and you can see the stocks they like. You can also view most widely held stocks, stocks with most momey invested by investors, posts from the best investors and many many more.

This is a totally FREE site. You can create your own portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in 'play' money, and then watch how your stocks compare against over traders and learn.

Good luck !
