Stock Market
Who here dabbled in the stock market? I thought it might be fun to start a sub thread in BS where we can share our stock tips, long shots, why you think a company will do well, etc. etc.

there's already a section for that. it's the BS section. this aint forums.stockmarket.com!

Me. Be prepared to lose all your money or make some on mere luck. I strongly suggest reading a few books before betting thousands of dollars without reason or a pre-planned strategy.

actually a good way to start without losing any money is to use google's igoogle portfolio. you can put in "fake" investments and track them to see how they perform.
it's a fast way to learn how bad you are until you're good enough to know why. |
I suggest you buy: "One up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch; fun to read and it has really, really good suggestions.
I really enjoyed it. |

As for books I recommend
Trading for Dummies A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading - very good book on analysis and trading in general |
anyone who knows anything won't tell you. and i'll tell you that you won't make anything with the time you're willing to invest, it's like a full time job....unless you're wealthy

It is a fools game. No one will ever end up on top. Yes, I play the market and have had periods where I have made crazy money. I have also had many times where I have lost my shirt. After 20 years of playing the market I believe betting ETFs are the way to go. Individual stocks can be a lot of fun but can kick your ass too...
FWIW, I am pretty firm in my belief that doing a double the dow or s&p fund is a pretty good bet for the long term (20+ years). Not as sexy as buying MSFT, etc but it is a lot safer. |
