IBD also has an interesting article on the top 200 Tech Stocks today. But I TOTALLY disagree with that $10,000 trade one or 2 stock advice. If this was the way I traded when I started, I'm sure I would have lost it all by now. My best trades ever have been on approx. 100 shares - sometimes less on the expensive nets that are over 100 dollars. It's much safer as a newbie trader to buy smaller lots until you are more sure of yourself. And when you have 50 or 100 shares you don't totally freak out if they drop a buck or two - or FIVE. But with 500 or 1000 shares, it's harder to manage your emotions and you usually end up selling at the bottom in a panic, only to see it recover the next day.
