Stockmarket?

[JackoliciousLegs]

If you can sit in front of a computer watching for news reports about companies and you're willing to make a huge gamble, you can make some money. I watched Apple very closely and made some money around one of their events, but because of trading fees and such, I've had better luck just investing in (0/0) MFs. Sign up with a company that has a good track record and a good interface. I chose Schwab and I've had a great experience with them. Their stock trade commissions aren't as cheap as the others, but they're really knowledgeable and they've got great research info all over their site. They've got TONS of no load, no commission MFs. You can do basically every type of investment account, and they're super friendsly.

My advice is to open up a Schwab (or other investment firm) account, then just start putting money in. If you want, buy some stock, but depending on your goals, set up a diversified portfolio and let your money do the work rather than pulling your hair out over when to buy and when to sell individual stocks.
