stock market....

Hey. I am interested in investing in the stock market. I already have a ScottTrade account with funds in it. What sites would you reccomend me to reccomend me what kind of stocks to trade and what to look for in a good stock? Thanx!

it is actually fairly hard to find a decent stock tip site. that's because everybody is so biased about which stocks they choose and why. you can check out http//www.fool.com for the motley fool advice, and there are some online investment places that allow you to look up "tips".

but, to find advice about investing, i usually turn to books. i know you really aren't wanting to spend months on learning how to invest, but the more information you have about investing the better.

i basically try to gather a broad look at what the stock is like. the more you consider about a stock, the better chances you will know about how strong it truely is.

good luck!

fatwallet. go to their finance forum

Buy stock in AOL and FreePay they are sure to do great in the near future.

Buy NYSEELN [Elan] And hold it. I've made quite a bit off it. And i'm still holding.

? are you joshing me like Goooogler or do you really think this is a good investment? btw, that stock is a little more expensive than I was looking. I was thinking maybe something along the lines of $4-$6 a share. please insight me on this and let me know if there are any others you reccomend. thanx

haha, i thought Gooogler was serious for a second. i was scared....very very scared

Well, I was serius. I can't garuntee anything, But I have around 5k, Sitting in ELN right now. The share price doesn't mean anything because you're looking at the percentage gain every day. When google moves up 20$ in one day its only 5% Gain. if ELN moves up 20$ its over 100%. ELN is not a "Safe" company. Anything could happen. I've done some research and believe its worth a buy. Also keep in mind. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Meaning, diversify a bit.

i suggest that you read finance forums and talk to people who do this for a living (not to take away from anyone here). do you have any retirement packages? a matching 401k is a great way to put money away for later in life. instant 100% return, of course u cant touch it for years but it is SO worth it.
a solid return over the next 5 years will be the various oil companies...

actually, i'm young, and I want to invest now, and put it in accounts growing interest, so by the time I'm 30-35, i can retire D

read the book automatic millionare if u wanna have alot of money when u retire if your starting early by simple savings
