Guys, I am very interested in entering Foreign exchange trading. I believe there is big time money in that. I am very keen to learn how FOREX trading is done and stuff. I believe there are companies which are selling software’s which act as GUIDES and tell you when to buy or sell a currency. I saw ads of such software producing companies on TV and was much impressed. thye were also giving free demos in near by cities, but I missed out…) Could you pls let me know how I can find a company which sells this kind of software along with other training stuff????

I am looking for some really good books on investing. I’m talking about investing in stocks, bonds, forex, and options. But, I am looking for emphasis on stock trading( like trends and portfolio allocation). I am open to reading biographies or any other recommendations. Thanks!

For Beginners- "Investing for Dummies"
For Advanced- "The Intelligent Investor," "The New Buffettology."

If you’re a rookie in investing or stocks, go to

www.finance.yahoo.com.

Open up a portfolio without using real money. You can give yourself as much or as little money to try out the market. The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody’s got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.

That’s the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won’t lose money. It’s just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too.

Then once you’re comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They’re excellent for beginners.

If you’re new to stocks, DON’T DAY TRADE. You’ll a rookie in a world of professionals. I tried day-trading with Citigroup and AIG when they were a little bit over $1. I had some luck at first, making about $30 a day but I was way over my head. My luck didn’t last long and I had to rethink my strategy.

Day trading involves A LOT of commissions to the broker. With all the commissions deducted from each trade, you’ll be lucky if you only lose half your money.

I would just day trade using Yahoo! Finance. Open a stimulation account, give yourself $100 worth of fake money and play it in the stimulation format. You’ll see what I mean by losing money every easily.

Good luck.
