best source for learning about the basics to stock trading?

Question

Would like to learn the fundamentals of buying and selling stocks and the differant ways they are traded. I want to start managing my own IRA accounts and make some extra money if possible.

Answer 1

There is a website called Investopedia.com which is a terrific source of information as well as a site that will allow you to open a "dummy" account - no money - to trade and practice your strategies. Then you can move on to actually handling real money!

Answer 2

I think the best way to learn about the stock market is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling and why. You can find this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500.

Here are this month's best traders:
