• Interested in learning about buying stocks, but clueless.?

  I’m wanting to learn how to ease my way in to buying stocks. I know that there’s a lot to learn. I’m wanting to find inexpensive ways to invest. I am disabled and live on a fixed income, so I have to start out small (very small) and work my way up.

  I know that a lot of people recommend certain books, but I can’t do that. I’m visually impaired, and even have a hard time reading large print books. Are there any sites with easy to understand instructions/guidelines/tips, etc for beginners?

  Also, what are some good trading sites to use for someone wanting to start out small? Little to no fees, no minimums, reliable, etc if any exist?

  Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
  And to a couple people that replied. I do not plan on investing more than I can afford to lose. That’s why I said I need to start very small. (I was thinking – just to start with). I wouldn’t dare invest so much that I would be screwed if I lost it.

• Stock market nightmare?

  I’ve been investing in the stock market for the past seven years. This has been a horrific year for investors, and my portfolio is down 40%. I will not need the money for about 15yrs. should I stay in the market or sell? I’m invested in fixed income and mutual funds. The fixed income part of my portfolio has been holding ground, but the mutual funds have taken a hit. Your thoughts?

  3. "refi" my personal mortgage
  4. buy investment property

  or any other situations where credit card interest is tax deductible?
  Thanks for all you responses. Just to clarify –

  Say I borrow 0 from my credit card at 10%.
  I owe 0 at the end of the year.

  I put this same 0 into a stock (or some other investment). It goes to 0 and I sell, gaining .

  1. Do I have to pay taxes on , or ( gain minus interest)?

  2. If I didn’t sell, can I deduct the interest against my other income?
