Where to learn about investing and the market?
 

Hi All,

We have invested in bonds and the market and have a great broker that we have used for years. However, I only know a little here and there and really want to learn from the ground up. Recommendations?

Only real advice please and keep the stupid comments to the titty threads.

Thanks, Mitch

"Economics in one lesson", by hazlitt.

This is not the place... lol

Read up on LEAPS if you want to really make some money - higher risk = higher reward

www.updown.com is a fun way to learn and practice on your own. They give you 1 million to invest and your results are based on the actual market.

Sweet link. Thanks for the share, man!:thumbsup

Thanks Jill!

Hope to see you soon. Punch Bobby for me.

It's important to have a understanding of what products will always sell and what products are hot currently.

Toilet paper will always sell.

john deere has been doing really well.

If you're into day trading, that is.

Here is the best advice you can get on here, ASK YOUR "GREAT" BROKER to give you recommendations on where you can go to start learning. You obviously have a good relationship with him and are happy with the services he has provided. He is going to be able to help you more than any one here.

All you going to get from GFY is that you should be buying gold, silver, stock "abc" that is in an emerging market or something someone just heard about on cspan and is regurgitating it all of GFY like they know what the hell they are talking about.

Short SBUX and wait till that shit stock gets close to $10 before you cover.

Thank me later.:thumbsup

For Investing:

The Easy Way

1. Read both of these books

2. Read the WSJ every day. When you don't understand something, check Investopedia. It's geared towards beginners. If something piques your interest, research further. Preferably by reading an actual book that was published by an actual publisher. IE, No e-books lol.

The Hard Way

1. Try to at least get through Level I of the CFA.

Also, stay away from CNBC. If you're a TV person, watch Bloomberg

Actually, buying DITM LEAPS with a high delta are not much more risky than actual shares

You obviously haven't read my posts. Here are some from another thread.

If after reading them, you still don't think that I know what I'm talking about, I'd really like to see you try to prove it.

Thanks very much for all of the advice everyone.

I would check out the Vice Fund / VICEX. Not for short term trader but more for long time investment.
