Recently I have been trying to learn investing and financial thins. I want to start investing in the stock market and a whole lot of other related stuff right now. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable nor do I know much about investing or anything about finance that well, so I am sort of a newbie in this. I was wondering if you guys could help me by giving me any tips for starting with baby steps since I'm a complete noob, any advice, online links I could use for help and learning etc, thanks.    | ||

there are many different investing plans that focus on a large number of stocks, you have to do some research to find out which would be the best for your cash range edit: you might want to wait a few weeks though till the market chills out : / | ||

Poker is the new investment game, and it's not all that different from playing the stocks... But you still need to be smarter than everyone else you're playing with. I say you invest all your money in a pirate ship and sail the seven seas for treasure. | ||

Usually when a certain sector of the economy isn't doing so well. So when the economy comes back up, you sell big and make a profit. Also, diversifying is important. But, the most important thing is to have a plan and stick to it. | ||

Since you only make money by selling unpromising stocks at a high price, and buying promising stocks at a low price. So asking for public opinion of where you should start is pretty ridiculous... Not to mention everything you could want to invest in, in the United States, seems to be a pretty slippery slope down from my perspective. Think Black Tuesday.

Asking for public opinion regarding how you can train yourself to learn the basics is not. | ||

Invest in diverse and many portfolios. Have patience and above all have a sense of discipline. Don't make rush decisions, be informed, do your own homework. Everything else can be learned and told but what i said above is easier said than done. | ||

Diversification is a good initial strategy because you have less risk, but it also limits potential gains. Also always make sure to save some money into "safe" investments, like bonds and such. Going straight stocks is a recipe for disaster. | ||
