2) Who do you trade through? or do you do it yourself through some site?
3) Where do you get your 'information' (I'd suspect you need to be on top of a company's policies and recent decisions in order to determine if they are worth investing in...)
4) Where can I learn more about trading? There isn't a http://www.stockmarketpost.com is there? (ok i just checked, there IS... but if you have a site that is somewhat more helpful than stockmarketpost.com, I'd appreciate it)
1) Penny stocks
2) Zecco, free trades (www.zecco.com)
3) All over the place. Yahoo financial, mainly.
4) Google it?


I would suggest looking into the FOREX trading market. A little more sane and somewhat more predictable since it moves in macroeconomic trends. www.babypips.com/school

When you trade on margin in FOREX, it's not like making a deposit on a loan like in the stock market, you actually get to use the trading company's money in ratio with your investment. You can do 1:1,2:1,4:1,10:1,50:1,100:1,200:1, etc. The higher the margin, the more you can make or lose. You don't pay them back the margin, you can only lose as much as you have in your account, it can never go negative.

Bro I'm telling you, this company has a bright future. That plus the Olympics in China and the need for disinfectants.....

Look at what happened in 2003/04 when the SARS outbreak happened. Shot to a $1.

The market is still extremely volatile, therefore performance of individual stocks are going to be tough to predict. Why not diversity a little bit and look into ETFs? The DJIA is below 13 after hitting 14 in October.

Emerging markets ETFs are a little shaky right now also. I'd actually probably recommend holding off for a while before jumping into the market. Investors are showing signs of anxiety and insecurity. It's almost one step forward, two steps back every three days. There could be more potential downturn in the future.

Retail was good these past two days, but that's by no means a surefire sign for a positive economy heading into Christmas and the holidays.

If you want to play it safe, buy something like Procter and Gamble (PG) which you can't go wrong with either way until the market shows it's heading for an upturn.

Most analysts are pretty bullish on large cap value.

Stock market safe for the day

How about that! Only a 100+ points lower, not too bad. Beautiful fade from the gap down. 3/4 pt rate cut helped. Thanks, Uncle Ben.

Who MADE money today?

I'm not so upbeat but if you think the Fed being so worried they did an intra-meeting cut a week before their regular meeting is a good thing.....

I think the next few months are going to be pretty rocky.
