Stock Market Information

Forbes Special Situation Survey Newsletter
The Prudent Speculator Newsletter
They advertise rarely. It's been around 50 years. The successful people already have it.

Much of what is printed on the internet with regards to stock market information is regurgitated. Seven or eight guys who actually understand everything about the stock market each produce a stock market information article once or twice a week. They rarely take baths, dress like monks, and eat only bread and cheese once a day, even then not taking their eyes off the never ending parade of numbers marching across their computer screens. Occasionally you'll hear a cackle or a sigh. More often, the sounds of loud cheese chomping. These are the men who produce the bulk of the known stock market information, and have been for centuries. They are the latest generation of the Stock Market Knights Templar. Replacing scrolls and candles with keyboards and flat computer screens, it is they alone who provide new information for us all on the internet. Everyone else just regurgitates. Thus, it becomes an imperative that you not only take advice, (even such as this noble work) for what it is worth, and instead sally forth to find and accept advice from the masters of the monks... Introducing the Prudent Speculator by Forbes, and the Special Situation Survey by Forbes as well. Whatever it is in the stock market, they have already been there and done that. Your task is to not re-invent the wheel. Your task is to greatfully accept the stock trading knowledge that these two fine newsletters will impart to you. Saves a lot of time, let me tell you!

The wealth generation part of the stock market equation is dead simple. Buy low and sell high. Easier said than done most days. "Playing" the stock market is like an infinitely more complicated game of chess. Many more moves. Many more pitfalls.

So what's a humble son or daughter of the land supposed to do to enter into the serious sideline, of stock trading? This question is easy. First, get some stocks....but wait, you musn't get a stock portfolio going until you master the lingo, theory, opportunities, and pitfalls of your new avocation. In other words, learn what you're doing before you do it. You wouldn't hop in a stratojet and turn on the ignition without knowing how to fly, would you? Certainly not. So must you learn your stock trade craft before you start the engine of your success without knowing where the gas and the brake are.

It's telling that generally speaking, in the stock market world, you need a lot to make a lot. Unfortunately, most days, you need a lot to make a little as well. In the meantime, if the stock market itself turns fickle, you can lose a lot, with only the opportunity to make a little. It doesn't balance out, you see. So, before beginning your StockTrek, it's best to have all your ducks in a row, and best of all, learn how to get out of trouble quicker'n than you got into it.

In the stock trading sphere, like the battlefield, or the McDonalds Drive-Thru, knowledge is power. While it's not likely that you'll have access to insider trading secrets so as to quickly make yourself a pile of money right out of the door, there are plenty of places to otherwise get the news you need to use.

Naturally, our favorite is, once again, The Prudent Speculator and The Special Situation Survey. Using these simple instruments, and the information they provide, sooner, rather than later, you'll be able to take to floor, place one hand strategically in the vicinity of your mouth, and, cupping the other one, raising it to your mouth, make rude noises at your competition, or those who urged you to some other kind of hobby or career. When you are riding at 47,000 feet in your very own luxury edition G5 Stratojet, you'll thank me! Thank you, you shall say, and in the same breath, oh flight attendant, bring me another slipper full of champagne, won't you? And pour one for yourself!

Of course, there are two ways you can do your part to do your utmost to insure stock happiness and that is to invest in The Prudent Speculator, a Forbes Publication, and the Forbes Special Situation Survey. As investments go, this is pretty much a no brainer. Buy at a low cost, and reap HIGH rewards!
