Good place for investment ideas...?

Question

Hello,

For a couple years now I've avoided dealing with publicly traded shares due to the stresses of the stock market. Now I'm looking to begin investing again, as there hasn't been a better time. The problem is, I feel lost about where to put my money in. I know I want to put stocks into my portfolio, but I've lost my feel for the market.

My question is, what are the best websites I can go to for investment ideas? Has anyone tried using the indexes or top stock picks on some websites, and were you successful?

Answer 1

I like small cap mutual funds at this time.

In times of economic recovery small cap funds tend to do the best. Most investors want the best returns in their portfolio as they can obtain. Stock picking in small cap funds is more critical to getting handsome returns than large cap funds. In the early stages of an economic recovery and even well into the recovery small cap stocks outperform the total market.

Pick up a few books and read up on stocks. Go for low risk, low yield stocks first since you are new at this. Read as much as you can and watch youtube videos and documentaries. If you find the topic interesting then open a brokerage account somewhere and start buying stocks. Don't open a forex account, I know lots of ads are out there promoting forex but trust me stocks are much better and safer to start out with.



Step 2. Sign up with an online broker. (you can do this the same time as step 1 as long as you don't jump the gun and start trading without some basic skills)



I recommend a low fee brokerage like sogo who charge $3 a trade and also give you 100 free trades to start so make your first few trades really small ones.

While you are learning about stocks also read up on options. That is a must if you want to be an investor. Take a look at LEAPS, you will be glad you did.

If the idea of sitting at home in your PJ's, and making one trade a day online that nets you $200 per day is appealing. You can go to this website and watch a free video that explains the trading strategy:

I signed up for the free training and generated over $1,800 in income over a two week period and I worked maybe only 2 hours trading. Talk about earn while you learn.



I suggest you look at these two, and since they are free to try you can't lose.
