start investing

I decided to hold off until after the holidays, just in case. The things I’ve learned in my research have been very helpful. The Stockquest experiment was going extrememly well. I learned a lot through that as well. Can’t wait to start making some REAL money.

The stocks I’ve picked on Stockquest are all making money, and I’d be ahead of the game if only I had started investing real money already. I worked 72 hours last week, so I should have enough to start investing now. Hopefully, the startegies for picking stocks I’ve learned so far continue to pan out.

.. and have started tracking them. Thanks to the lessons I’ve learned in William O’neill’s book, I’ve even had some mock success at Stockquest.com ( a great site for anyone who wants to dabble in the market without losing reak money). After payday (this Thursday), I’m opening an account with Scottrade and am going to start investing some real money.

Using the tools I’m picking up in “24 Essential Lessons foe Investment success”, I thonk I’m ready to start. Now to pick that first stock.

Personal FInance for dummies and 24 lessons for investment success. The latter suggested to start investing right away, so i’m going to do it with only 5 hundred dollars. First step is to research some stocks and find the right ones.

Once we get $3,000 in our savings account, we will take $2,000 and invest it. Time to start studying up so I don’t lose my hard earned money.

I need to start by learning.
