Well for beginners I tell them to learn how to trade mutual funds ( no loads ) before they try to out smart the market and pick stocks. Better than Funds are the indexes such as QQQ..in fact I trade it a lot more than I do stocks. The SPY or DIA might be better for a beginner. The QQQ has more action but can set a person back more if they slip up also they need to be set up with a margin account so they can short it. It shorts without needing an up tick. Jim PS I just updated the NDX 100 weights using a 10 day avg volume X price. And posted it on that thread.
