I'm looking for resources (books, websites, etc.) to learn how to read/interpret various stock charts. I would like something simple and concise that is geared towards the beginner/intermediate level. Only professional/expert people need respond. Thanks for your help!
So far I know about http:/www.stockcharts.com.
PS: If this is in the wrong forum section... oops |

Simple and concise is exactly what investing isn't.
In the most simple terms there are two ways to make money investing.
1. Buy a stock, hold it, get dividends as the company does well.
2. Buy a stock, hold it, sell it at a higher price.
Beyond this it gets confusing, long winded, and debatable.
Every person is going to give you a different theory about how to invest and why.
I come from an engineering and clasical economics background, have experience in international resource trade, and read way to much about macro economics, politics, and international relations. This makes my thoughts on "stocks" longer term and rather general. I might be able to tell you elements of what you are looking for in a company, such as which countries are good, which currencies look sound, which industries are stable, but not which company to buy. |

Thank you for your quick reply, but unfortunately I was looking for resources specifically geared towards learning about stock charting (and the like). Not a basic lesson on investing. Again thanks for your help! |
