I just wish I could buy/sell stocks during the pre-market. |

Also read this thread and there are some others out there...
I agree with the others, start small and don't expect to not take some hits. They help you learn.
Heh, I remember thinking what a dumb move it was for me to buy Lulemon ages ago only to have it drop over 75%...and now it's recovered, I'm glad I didn't bail but I'm surprised it recovered the way it did. |

I don't know too many non speculative stocks that have increased 1000% (from $4 to 44) in essentially the last year. It is an incredible story (that investors are paying a lot for at current levels, unfortunately). |

Any tips for first timers? |
high yield bonds etfs
low fees, steady income (at about 3x the inflation rate), and most importantly you won't lose any sleep or suffer from insomnia/depression |

I just checked with Google Finance, there was only 20 stocks that went up 1000% in 52 weeks. |
