I would recommend a couple things: 1) Read Midas Investing by J Steinberg and How to make money in stocks by William O'Neill 2) Get Individual Investor Magazine 3) Sift through what you read on the threads, absorb the facts, throw away the hype. Dan S.

I would recommend that you do not read Midas Investing or How to Make Money in Stocks. They are two very misleading books to read as a young investor. A good beginning book is Value Investing Made Easy by Janet Lowe. Reading any of Peter Lynch's books, especially Learn to Earn would be great as well. Good luck, Mike

Daniel, I would echo Mike B on something by Peter Lynch, also you posted "I started with 500$ and lost alot of it in Startronix which I bought because someone in a thread said it was good. I know it was stupid and I didn't research it enough." This cost you $200, if you REALLY did learn a lesson I believe you will find it was a very cheap lesson. I've spent many thousands for that same lesson. Good Investing to you.. Scott
