Getting Started In The Stock Market

Nothing is more critical for anyone thinking about investing in the stock market than research, research, research! Remember when you are investing in the market you are playing a game against the smartest people in the world. If you win you get some of their money. If you lose they get some or maybe even all of your money. They are going to do their homework, so you better do yours.

BYIA is not, and never will be, a premier research site. You need pros with years of experience and tons of expertise, and below are few places you should look at if you are serious about trading.

Investor’s Business Daily is a mainstay for market pros. The site has a great page for new investors with an eleven step program to teach the basics. Here’s a link the link to that page: http://www.investors.com/howtoinvest.asp?tn=top

Market Watch is big a mainstream site run by the Dow Jones Company. It doesn’t offer the same level of analysis as some of the other sites here, but it has a lot of tools and information especially on international markets. http://www.marketwatch.com/

Morningstar is another big full service site. http://www.morningstar.com/

The Motley Fool is a great site for ideas. It has lots of interesting strategies and ideas about where, when, and how to invest. http://www.fool.com/

TheStreet.com is Jim Kramer’s site. It is loaded with great info and a lot of original strategies and ideas.

Bloomberg.com is another great site: http://www.bloomberg.com

And if you haven't been to BYIA's front page check it out too: http://incomeandassest.blogspot.com/

This is really just the tip of the iceberg. There’s tons of good info out there if you want to take the time to do your research. The idea is to compare and contrast you ideas with information from the various news sources.
