thats nice to know that you are in the same position as us...what are your secrets?
investopedia.com is going to be your best friend to learn all the ins and outs...
i would also save up a little more money if you are saying 'little money to invest' if you are under a certain amount its not even worth it becausethe commissions will eat up all your profits

lol no ones focusing on long term anymore? we always talk about penny stocks and short term stuff. we gotta focus on the long term blue chips that pays nicedividends!
i seriously think we should open up like some sort of aim chatroom so we can discuss stocks. that would be cool as hell

only reason im short term right now is because im saving up to get those long term stocks
once i feel like i have enough $ to throw into a long term stock that will pay more than what im making in the short term, then i will do it.
im down for the AIM chat also, let me know if you do anything with that andy

^i asked this question earlier. people in the thread told me to pick up Essentials of Investments by Bodie and start reading stuff on stockcharts.com andinvestopedia.com. that's what ive been doing for the past couple of weeks. Also, I feel one must be well read to do well long-term in the stock market soI've started to read the WSJ online and also just kept up with the stock market news lately. I think I'll start dabbling in trading after a couple moremonths of study.

i agree....i may get back in on a dip and let it run for a couple weeks rather than selling after holding it for a lil over a week. i just happened to put mysell on those stocks at the right time. I feel like this company will be able to hit close to .002-.0025 on some news very quickly...by the way, i LOVE thedaily volume on this company!
