like iban and me had a thing where i was telling him a little about how to do stocks. he was so pushy on me telling him exact stock quotes and exact details on when to buy or or sell. thats usually a bad idea no matter how lucky i may be sometimes with stocks.
but its a LITTLE more then buy low, sell high.
you study the date-charts of a stock, predict a good low point in it's bouncing cycle to buy in.
then predict yourself a good backing out point.
penny stocks are great to learn with, at little risk.
but there are many (usually pink sheet types) of qualifications to buy or sell them, that you may be hindered when you are ready to rock.
stay at 1-5 dollar a share stocks. prepare to lose at least 100-200 bucks when you go in. you never know. dont dump your inheritance of 10grand on a new thing you arent experienced in yet lol.
