Any help from people knowledgeable on the subject is appreciated. Don't take any advice from NT. Not even when it comes to commodities. First of all, figure out if you're going to be an investor or a trader. There's a big difference. Once you figure that out, develop a plan with a real professional. "The Corporation" "Money money money money money...$$" Follow me on Twitter Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. - Henry Ford

Or at least professional resources and tools if youre looking to learn yourself. The biggest question is what are your goals? You say long term trader. Thats kind of a confusing way to word itAs in building money for retirement? Or you just looking for a way to make some extra money? Cuz like dude said, thats a HUGE determining factor about how to invest. And also what % of your money your investing

And also what % of your money your investing I know right, it basically means I buy stocks with potential and sit on them for a little while until I can turn a profit. I'm not investing any of my money, but I have about 5,xxx sitting around doing nothing so I would like to reinvest in the markets. I already consult a professional, just wanted to see if i could get anything off of here. TeamS.Carolina What's a sneaker boutique?

I'm curious. The quote was an exaggeration but they will still go with a specific allocation regardless of the economy. I'm going off experiences of friends, family, and talks with financial advisors that I know.

Stop speaking right now then. Yea, feel free to do no research and put all your faith and life savings in the hands of some "professional". Let me know how that works out for you. Charles Schwab settles SEC allegations that it misled investors about risks of bond fund The brokerage agrees to pay $119 million in settlement. Its YieldPlus fund lost hundreds of millions of dollars in early 2008 when the value of the many mortgage bonds in its portfolio collapsed. January 12, 2011\|By Walter Hamilton, Los Angeles Times Three years after a supposedly safe bond fund plunged in value, Charles Schwab Corp. agreed to pay $119 million to settle government allegations that it misled investors about the risks of the portfolio's mortgage-related holdings. The Securities and Exchange Commission's suit against Schwab, which was filed as well as settled Tuesday, depicts a microcosm of the mortgage meltdown and financial crisis, with plenty of blame to go around. http://articles.latimes.c...a-fi-schwab-sec-20110112 Last Edited By: cguy610 10/08/11 6:46 PM.

There are a few high quality research firms I'd suggest checking out: Morningstar, Valuentum Securities, and Bronte Capital (actually a hedge fund but he actually posts a lot of his ideas).

It's a lot less of a hassle and until you get more capital (or capital appreciation) it's tough to invest in individual companies while making a solid yield (all the while balancing the risk of ONE company versus the market as a whole). Good luck. ...and the Golden State would never paper hate...
