http://www.schwab.com is how you find the Charles Schwab website. Good firm, by the way.

http://www.investopedia.com is the best all-around website for learnings about investing. When I was a beginner, I would spend hours on there. It was a lot more productive use of my time than looking at the porn sites.

I wrote a book on retirement investing, which can be downloaded for free at http://www.invest-for-retirement.com . However, the book is a bit long and not nearly as interesting as the investopedia website. That’s what happens when you get to be my age … you get long-winded.

Yahoo is garbage for a beginner. Go to marketocracy.com. You can run a paper portfolio there and learn the ropes. There’s a forum section there that only allows members who have performed in the top 25% post anything. You can learn a lot there.

Also check out fool.com. They generally have some good reading there.

Once you’ve become more knowledgeable, street.com is a favorite amongst many traders.

What you really need to do is read. Read, read, read. Here is where you begin:
http://www-scf.usc.edu/~tycoons/reading.htm

This is the reading list that we gave to all members in our investing club at USC. Start with a random walk down wall street.

If you’re interested in learning more head over to the discussion section at finfo.com and post a question.

Good luck!

Comment on Best on-line broker with good customer care & low brokerage in India for trading of Mutual Funds & shares? by New to investing

it largely depends on how you want to rate these broking house, by that i mean what are the parameters that you consider important as an investor. in my opinion the basic and fundamental parameter on which you should infact make a decision is not really based on the brokerage, its more about the Research and the reports that you would gain access to. if the stock market was that easy to decipher we really woudn’t need brokers rite ? ..
besides the point i would strongly suggest Kotak Securities for the simple reason that their reports are more than adequate, and the interface of the portal is simple and extremely functional.
you could check out their range of services at http://www.kotaksecurities.com/smartstart

Freedomrocks! The reason that some predict that Mark Vincellete will be on the cover of Time magazine is because of his brilliant strategy he developed for the Forex market. He is revolutionizing investing for the average investor. Making huge amounts of money and retiring young is not just for hedge fund managers. Investors who follow this program have been making unheard of returns. Due to compliance issues I cannot reveal the returns on investment but when you demo the program you will see for yourself. Once you see the power of the program you will confidentially tell everyone you know about it. That is why the company is growing 40% a month with no advertising. This is a Forex hedge strategy that reduces the risk in the market and anyone can do it because of its simplicity. It takes about 10-20 minutes a week if that. You can follow the strategy with play money until you see how it works and are comfortable with investing. Don’t take me word for it though. Try it out for free. Watch the video presentation on the site below. It will explain everything through the video. http://www.demofreedomrocks.com. Take care

RULE OF 72
5000 @ 12% a month = 1.6 million in 4 years. 19 million in 6 years.

I use ICICIDirect. Reasonably good balance of everything. you can go for it If you are not a very frequent trader. However IDirect is introducing a new platform for high volume/day traders.

For ZERO cost mutual fund investing read this: http://thecommoninvestor.blogspot.com/2009/12/zero-expense-mutual-fund-investment.html

Comment on Any experience with on-line trading? by king1914kingdom

It does not matter which places to trade. The problem is this one : Do you have any experience in day trading , by scalping the market?.

Any knowledge in TECHNICAL ANALYSIS? Do not be mislead, you will have to cope with big players on the market fit out with the last technology in trading platform.

Since you are eager to lose money, well practice with a demo account with SCOTTRADE.Practice yourself before you get caught in a domino spiral.

I was a trader ( forex, futures, bonds ) for 25 years.

Be careful.

I will give you a good tip… never take tips on the market.
be independent, use your own judgement, research the stocks, buy low, sell high.. you will find as a lot of people do, when people want to sell stocks, then buy them, when people want to buy stocks, then sell them to them..
The true investors really watch the odd lot sales.. as they go up (meaning the little guy is getting in) they will go short or get out.. the little guy (you and I) are always the last to get in, and as usual, last man in buys the beer!
think of it this way… two guys are standing on the corner, selling an item to each other, each time they trade it, the price goes up, as they do this, you watch and wow, the item is really going up!!!! so you walk in and buy it from them.. but when you try to sell it back, suddenly they don’t want it anymore.. so there you are, stuck with an item you really didn’t want. So watch out for the "quick money" and "good deals" trust your own judgement..(until you are proven wrong!)

Find some good individual stocks in different sectors with good p/e ratios and look at what the analysts say about the stock. Don’t just look at the short term numbers either. A good website for this is either msn (for the analyst ratings) and morningstar (only website I have found that gives you the average p/e ratio for the different sectors).
