stock trading education?
This is the year , I want to learn how to trade on the stock market.I am looking for sites that are educational in this area. I am learning alot with Vectorvest.
NOTE: Robots are sometimes good for highly experianced(successful) traders. They are not good for anyone else.
VectorVest has some value…. but I wouldn’t consider it "educational".
I listen all day to the "ShadowTrader" on the TOS platform…. If you’re not a TOS customer… check out the free weekly video;

My best suggestions would be…. start reading a new trading book a month.
Some suggestions would be;
The WallStrip Edge, Howard Lindzon
Trading In The Zone, Mark Douglas
Mastering The Trade, John Carter
Market Wizards, Jack Schwager
What is the best book to read about investing in stocks for beginners like me?
i’m currently reading the one by William O’neill but i found myself lost once in a while… i just can’t understand a lot of terms! is there a dictionary for stocks or something? or is there a book that’s more intended for beginner investors who’re not very familiar with most stock market terms? Thanks!
"Investing For Dummies" is a good starter, to be followed by "Stock Investing For Dummies", which goes a bit deeper into stocks.

What stock should beginners invest in and how?
basically ive got a few more questions and itll be helpful if you can answer ten 
:
1) What stocks should beginners invest in and how?
2) Why do some companies dontshow their p/e ratio and dividen yields?
3) What are the other methods in determining whether a stock will be successful or not?
4) How much money should i invest with. I’ve got £500 – £1000 to spare
5) How do you diversify your portfolio
10 points for the answer. Thanks
(1) Its better if you don’t know much about investing to go with a mutual fund. They have professional managers to run them.
(2) Stocks won’t have a PE ratio if they aren’t making a profit. EPS or earnings per share, need to be positive. Also there won’t be a dividend yield if they don’t pay one. That is very typical of speculative or growth stocks.
(3) You can never fully know if something will be successful.
(4) You need to start with enough and give enough time for growth to offset any transactions fees.
(5) You need to own at least 7 different stocks in different industries to be diversified, or get one mutual fund. A mutual fund can be broke up of different stocks, domestic and international, bonds, currency, and commodities.

Anyone have virtual stock trading tips?
My son is doing a school project, where he establishes an account on http://www.howthemarketworks.com and invests $100K. At the end of the semester, the person who has mad the most wins. Any tips on stocks to buy would be appreciated. I’m trying to encourage him to do research, but we have to make some purchases – he currently has AEO, EBAY, GOOG, KO, KSS, LUV, MSFT, TGT and is down by $3 overall.
Now is a really bad time to be starting to invest… everything typically starts to go down this time of year.
I would recommend buying some FXI (China index), EWZ (Brazil index fund), EEM (Emerging markets), EFA (Europe and Far East), NCX (NOVA Chemicals), ATT (AT&T), WMT (Wal-Mart).
If you think the NASDAQ is going to go up between now and the end of the semester, buy QQQ. It’s an index of all the biggest stocks on the nasdaq.
If you think it’s going to go down, buy QID. QID is a short so that you make money if the stock markets are going to go DOWN. I would recommend buying lots of QID.
Check the charts and explain to him why you think my suggestions are good or bad ideas.
If you can invest in Canadian exchanges, I would recommend also including PNP (Pinetree Capital) and BBD.B (Bombardier) (both on the TSX)
If you want to really go all-or-nothing and give him a huge lead, and if he’s allowed, buy some options instead of stocks. This will give you a lot more leverage and you can potentially make a lot more money.
