The Stock Market

[AroW]

Who here invests in the stock market semi-actively?

I've been reading a lot about it but do not plan to invest until a few months more down the road. What are your favorite resources to read/talk about these things?

The Motley Fool and investopedia are just some of the places I found most helpful. I understand there's a lot of BS out there and too much random info, but being smart, knowledgeable, and having common sense goes a long way.

I work for a hedge fund, honestly stay out of the market unless you know what you are doing. Look for those who were up 20% last year and are up now, then sign up for their funds.

I am personally up only 4% this year I made a bad play last week Monday and gave up a good bit of gains.

The type of news most anybody has been waiting for

Last year, the best move was not to play in the markets. Now it seems the higher risk is not to be in the markets.

April is about to end with the highest gains in the markets since the year 2000. I went all in since February

Time to cash in some of the gains
