So you are looking to invest some money and you are thinking about the stock market.
There are some fundamental questions that you need to answer for yourself first.
How committed are you? Are you going to put the effort in? Once you know the answers to these you need to think about learning the basics.
In this information age you will be able to find a lot of literature of stock trading.
You have the traditional books, you have the stock trading newsletter, and you can go to classes or be taught by a mentor.
If you don't know a lot about stock trading then you should first get a book on it.
Look out at your library as they are likely to have one but if not then buy one yourself.
They will give you a great introduction to the stock market and you should be able to get to grips with the basics this way.
Once you have completed the book and have a decided that you start trading for real then I would suggest trying a stock trading newsletter.
With one of these you should be able to see how experienced investors are selecting their trades.
Remember to do your own research and don't just buy the tips.
This process is about learning from them.
Now you are at the stage where you should consider doing a course.
Courses are a great way to meet new people who are interested in what you are but primarily it is a good chance to see some trading in action.
Make sure that you now exactly what to course is about and get some testimonials before you purchase.
If you can find a mentor then that would be a great way to learn.
You can use their experience to guide you to avoid making costly mistakes.
Not many people have this opportunity so if you are lucky enough to get one then take it.
I hope that you are eager to get going.
Don't do too much at the beginning.
The stock trading newsletter and courses can wait until you have mastered the basics.
