Good luck investing.

Hey investment gurus... i am a newbie in this.. where should i start...
which is the best place to open an account...
scottrade, ameritrade, etrade, fedility, ...? any other ones??

hi mukundo, if you are a true newbie you should start by reading Benjamin Graham's book "The Intelligent Investor".

and we'll go from there...

I'm backkkkkk!!!!

It's good to see you guys talking about stocks.

Goodluck with your holdings(y)

Any new picks? Any undervalued stocks?

Yo u_dayyyy waddd up dude? long time no see. where did you disappear? well its good to see you back as well.

how are your stocks doing? hope you are still holdin onto TIE...i still got all mine. and looks like we are finally on track to cross last summer's record highs.

stocks in general seems to all have peaked after the summer correction but inflation, oil prices, war of (i mean on) terror, still seem to be keeping $$$ away from the market. most are still predicting china to have robust growth in 07 but then lately you've had few pessimists predicting a market crash for 07 in chaina. i guess nothing out of the ordinary to have these two opposing views in a growing market like china.

on a sad note, NFI has lost over 78% of its market cap in less than 6months as the housing and sub prime industry is having major issues. everyone should keep them in your radar for 08 because if they can survive 07, they should provide an opportunity down the road.

so uday, what are your own current holdings?

I see endless knot here is a fan of Jim Cramer. I have been reading his book and I must say I like what he says. I guess like is the wrong word, as it is very subjective and subject to interpretation. I think what he says is true. Anybody here read Jim Cramer's books and watch his show "Mad Money" in CNBC regularly? If so, what do you think of his prognostications?

Riten,

my opinion of cramer is that he is more of an entertainer than an investment advisor. his simple choice of financial lingo makes him real appealing to the general mass. at best his recommendation are good for short term play. so take him for what's its worth!

boooo yaaaaa LOL

hey there BACK-AGAIN guys,

I juss hold MRVC for the time being. Wanna buy some more tech stocks for long-term ie at least a year or so.

Any tech holdings in your portfolio? Plese let me know.

Cheers!

So I am almost done reading Jim Cramer's book. Not sure how true this is, but I do feel I now have some grasp of investing fundamentals. Now what? I still feel I need to learn more. I need to augment my basic knowledge to a higher level, if that is possible. Yeah, some will say, "well boy'o you've gotta get your hands dirty. Learn from doing." But since it's my hard earned minuscule amount of money that I'm talking about, I'd rather arm myself up to my teeth with knowledge before I put my bet in.

Can anyone here recommended a more advanced book, preferably written recently, on investing?

In my quest for more knowledge on investing, I just got a book called Rule #1 by Phil Town. Has anybody read this book? I enjoyed Real Money by Jim Cramer and now would like to learn more.
