Stock Markets Exposed
Did you study the stock market in school ?
Did it do you any good ? Do you understand that value investing is how the pros like Buffett get rich . They do not even teach Buffett and Graham investing except at Columbia U.

- Degree in maths then a master in finance. Although I was not taught the above in school. I took an unusual interest in the stock market (unlike pretty much everyone else) & read all the books & advice I could find. All I can say is "Now who's laughing!"
- Most schools teach nothing about investing (That's a shame) Most of your education comes AFTER you get out of college. Here's a good place to start if you want to understand the stock market and investing http://www.FinancialSense.com
- You don't need to study finance or investing at a university level unless you plan on getting a job with an investment firm. All the information you need is available online for free.
- There are no courses in the Academic world as part of the school curriculum you have to educate yourself. Although Buffett has been successful, but he started in an entirely different market, this is not to say you don't buy value, but the buy and hold mentality is getting passe. The markets are different now then they were, Buffutt never had to deal with hedge fund investors, a larger number of mutual funds or computerized trading. Here are some books for you to read, yes one of them is a Buffett book but you shouldn't got too hung up on him The first book you should read is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki Then try some of these What Works on Wall Street by James O'Shaunessey Beating the Street by Peter Lynch One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch The Warren Buffett Way by Robert Hagstrom Mastering the Trade” by John Caster How to Make Money in Stocks” by William O’Neil Here are some websites that will definitely help you and will give you a good education http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp http://finance.yahoo.com/ http://www.investors.com/?tn=top http://investorshub.advfn.com/default.aspx http://www.thestreet.com http://www.brokerage101.com/ http://www.1source4stocks.com/ http://www.decisionpoint.com/TAcourse/TACourseMenu.html http://stockcharts.com/ http://www.grahaminvestor.com/ http://www.thestreet.com/ http://www.morningstar.com/ http://www.dividenddetective.com/
