Hang out at some stock market forums, ask questions, listen. We're just a bunch of dumb motorheads. It's a whole new world and language, and as soon as you figure it out it'll change and ride ya hard n put ya up wet.
Buy at maximum pessimism...Wish I could take credit for that but I can't. When is that? Only you can decide.
Never, EVER, invest money you can't afford to lose...NEVER!
If you've never played the stock market before, try some paper trading. (Imaginary money) ... When you start using your hard earned bucks I promise you this...It's gonna freak you out when it nose dives, you better have serious big cahoneys. Sometimes I think rich cats follow me around and sell immediately after I buy, dropping the price.
Be careful when you read about someone hyping a particular stock, especially pennies, they may be pulling a 'pump-n-dump' Hype the stock saying it's gonna quadruple, folks buy in, it shoots up, he sells, it drops, you're screwed.
You still want me to recommend a stock???
