A good place to start is at the local library. Check out some books onstock trading and financial management. That's what I did, just a poor boywanting to get rich. Read me some books and bought some stocks. Paidattention and got rich. Retired after only 35 yrs working and startedbuilding airplanes. Life of luxury and interesting things to do. Feed thedeer, go to the post office once a day, take a few pictures, sit in front ofmy PC. Life is good.......... Good luck.John WRW-6KR-2SKerrville, Tx----Original Message-----________________________________________________________________________________

I tried stocks after my Dad passed away and turned his stock broker ove rtome with money, I did ok in Mutual Funds but I got scared when I dumped 5 Kin one day on one stock, I am not a gambler so I just could not keep doingit, Now 9 yrs later I see if I would of kept the stocks I would be more than100K better off. BUt I retired at age 52 after working hard for 35 yrsanyway.I want to try DayTrading sometime but would go into it with money I plan toloose like going to Las Vegas.I had a big thick book on stock trading but it was a boring read. Guess Iwould never make a banker.Gordon----- Original Message -----________________________________________________________________________________

Steve,A low impact way to get into the market is by using Dividend Reinvestment Programs. These are setupswhere the company will reinvest the stock's dividendsin more stock at little or no cost to you. The goodpart of these setups is that you can usually add moremoney to buy more stock at the same low price. Somecompanies want you to own at least one share beforeyou participate (Paychex) while others will sell youthe first share (Mobil). Do a web search. They are also known as DRIPs. Notfor the quick hitter but more for the slow and steadytype - like a Piet.We have Mobil, Proctor&Gamble, PayChex DRIPs. It doesadd up if you send a little each month and you don't get killed by the broker fees.Dave>Please forgive this "Off topic question"!>>I need someone to teach me how to use the stock market.

I recommend a book entitled "Making the Most of Your Money" by Jane BryantQuinn; about $27.00 at your local Borders book store. It covers theentire spectrum of personal financial matters, not just the stock market,offering a more balanced perspective than just the workings of WallStreet. Also, it's written in common sense language for the novice.Enjoy.Ted Tuckermanvistin(at)juno.com wrote:> Please forgive this "Off topic question"!>> I need someone to teach me how to use the stock market.
