you can use MSN money and buy and sell mock stocks and see what gains/losses you "could" have. I did that for well over a year before investing.
But it also depends on what sort gains you're looking for, long term or short term. Just do lots of research and see what the trends are.

Yea mean how much money you have now after investing 10 years ago? What was the original price you bought it for?

10 years ago today it was trading at roughly $29. In sept 01 it split 2-1 so if you had around 34 shares you then would have 68. I remember reading something about another 2-1 split in may of this year so you would then have 138 if it went through. So you either have 68 or 138 shares at roughly $80, I'd say you made out pretty damn well.

Open a Schwab account online. There is a wealth of information on there include research and analyst opinions. I use this for all of my trading. Do not buy anything unless you've research the company to some degree and have researched it trends to know when the stock is low. Its not difficult.

Pick up the wallstreet journal, ready a couple money type magazines.

teh DIRT · 05-04-2007, 08:54 PM

stocks are jumpy, thats how i describe them.

I made 200% increase one day and lost 50% the next. Gota be quick and smart if you want to be a day trader. IF your goal is long term investing than its a different story.

do you have an ING savings account? if not, i would start there, then work your way up. have you looked at mutual funds? money market accounts? i suggest you read this first http://money.cnn.com/magazines/money...101/index.html

another good site is www.bankrate.com

check out this link for info on mutual funds, most are $1000 minimums.

Why don't you just pick a stock and watch it and just think if you put 1000 dollars in how much would you have gained or lost within x amount of time. I have sirius stock and I regret not selling it last christmas but I will never be down to were I bought it so it will be ok, just how much I gain.

Stock market is doing amazing right now. But, now the only place for it to go is down.
