No problem. Also, do yourself a favor and sign up for John Mauldin's weekly update (it's free). I find him to be very insightful and knowledgeable about markets. He is also very instructive so you can learn a lot by reading his newsletter. There are plenty of other good resources out there that are free. You can go to Pimco's website and read the monthly updates from Bill Gross and Paul McCulley. They are extremely well regarded and knowledgeable about quite a bit (though reading their commentary can be a bit dull at times). Check out Berkshire Hathaway's website and read annual letters written by Warren Buffet. Many people take his word as gospel. Basically, just dig in and use what's available to you.

1) John Mauldin's Throughts from the Frontline

2) PIMCO --Plenty of great commentary.

3)Berkshire Hathaway letters to shareholders

Lastly there's certainly no harm in getting a Wall Street Journal subscription and/or a subscription to Barron's.

Cheers.

Originally posted by metalgearsolid shit today was a real bad day. $3,125 and one of my comanies went bankrupt so I lost $700. Shit man the worse thing is ETRADE won't let me fucking sell they allowed me to buy but I can't sell. ******s.

i hear theyre selling some really cheap cardboard boxes for people like you looking to move out of home. with such an awesome display of market savvy you should be laughing at me and my desk job any time soon.

i have about $4K in the bank, i earned 15c interest last financial year. so im already doing better than you, and i didnt take any risks at all.

oh, did i mention the additional $10K a year im receiving from rental income? and i cant wait to go see my accountant and work out how much of a tax break im gonna get.

if you go back to the start of this thread, youll realise i was trying to help you out when you posted this thread, and you were rude and sarcastic. so for the record, you started all this lovely abuse between us. and you are yet to score a point. tsk tsk.

You made a mistake that was like over a month ago. I am doing fine and actually a lot better. tsk tsk I am earning dividends and my net worth has increased dramatically from when I was doing bad.

nobody ever made any real money investing such small amounts.

The point is to grow over time, and yes people did make a lot of money with small amounts. Warren Buffet just to name one and if you did any research you will find out that there is more.

and i could put forward some names of people that made it big with lotto entries. it doesnt make it a viable method for making it big though does it?

the "growing over time"- how long do you think it'll take a $4k investment to show any real fruit? youre wasting your time

Take it to Vegas and blow it on hookers and booze!

Why? Your odds are about as good and at least you go out like a rock star.

Metal your confidence in the market is astounding, especially when it seems you're only a one way trader (although I realize I could be wrong).
