The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
If you have a yahoo ID, you can use yahoo to create a portfolio, and it will track the stocks for you. You can put in any categories you want. And a few months ago they actually added in "Streaming Quotes", that shows you each movement the stock makes based on the volume that is being bought / sold.
In my portfolio on yahoo, I have the stocks / mutual funds that I actually own on the top. Then underneath them I have ones I am keeping an eye on to see if I want to buy them for the future. If you watch a stock long enough, you can get a good idea what its all about.
Man, just buy a damned mutual fund. Save yourself the hassle of tracking individual stocks. :P
Seriously, it's your best bet. Stocks are gamble. Work a regular job and invest extra income in a Fidelity or Hartford or something.
I'd actually suggest an index fund based off the S&P 500. Mutual funds are a good idea, but they're only as realiable as the poor sucker who has to pick the stocks.
If you're actually going to be buying and selling stocks, I would imagine you would want to pay for something that doesn't delay the prices by 20 mins.

This is a fallacy. The only reason you would need "REAL TIME UP TO THE NANOSECOND QUOTES" is if you are a daytrader, and if thats the case chances are you're not doing it right.
Investing in stocks is about the long term. You pick a stock that you think is undervalued at the time, but which has good growth potential. Then, you buy some of it. Then, you take a look at it once a day AT THE MOST to see what is going on (This doesn't include news updates about your stock, those you wanna get as soon as they are released). Then you wanna set a target price for your stock, and sell it if it reaches that price. This could take a month, 3 months, a year, or even longer, but if you picked a good stock chances are it will hit its goal at SOME point.
Or you could just get a mutual fund like the other guys said, I have some money in those as well. They are much easier to invest in, much less time trying to follow them, and they almost always go up over the course of the time you have them.
Well, he is going to a class. Maybe it's a daytrading class. Ever think about that, smartypants?
Though seriously, daytrading doesn't work except for the extremely lucky.
Correct! Daytrading is just a classier form of taking all your money, going to a casino, and gambling as your job. You may win a few times, but surely enough you'll slowly descend into bankruptcy.

yeah, then that up to the second quote does your 0 good when you put your sell order in and it sits in the queue waiting to be filled for 5 hours
and never does because the price window you put in is long gone

Serious note, if you have huge amounts of cash, invest in Boeing or Airbus. Planes man, planes.

Except for when your mutual fund invests heavily in a company that's burning their books, and you lose everything.

God I hope this is a joke because that is the worst advice possible.
