Is there a resource to evaluate stock investment schools like investools?

The Investools seminar makes the whole thing seem plausible. They don't promise to make it easy, and do promise tro provide exstensive and in-depth research. There are other such companies. The problem arises from the inability to evaluate whether or not they actuaqly provide the research results and evaluations that are promised in the "seminar" sales pitch.

i find this website resourceful, especially for beginners:

first of all, you need to understand how the stock market works inside out. from there, pick yourself good stock that have profitable business behind it. though there are thousands of stock listed in the stock exchange, only few are worth investing.

after discovering your hidden gem, investigate how much the stock worth. it is just like a company sending someone to investigate other companies before they merge or buy them in an open market. their due diligence is very important to ensure the purchase or investment is worth every single cent.

savvy stock investors simply don't rush into the market, even to buy the profitable businesses. you'll be paying premium price if you buy the stock on the 'high side', which in return, you can expect lower return from your stock investment. this is where, margin of safety factor come in. you have to unlock its fair price, so that you'll be taking less risk in case something goes wrong.

I hear that you can get Investools education for a very low costs at http://www.phoga.com/investool... Found this site on the internet. Has anyone tried it yet? Just curious. Report It

A lot of these are data aggregators, which gather data from public internet sources (like finance.yahoo.com) and present it to you in a convenient manner and charge a lot for this. You have to decide if it's worth it.

I would google the schools you are interested in, but in reality, I don't think they will help make you money. Watching shows like Mad Money on CNBC are a good start not because I trust Jim Cramer's stock picks, I don't, but because they help you learn what to look for in a stock and how to know if a stock is cheap. Once you know what to look for, all you have to do is find the information (easy to do) and listen to the conference calls. If you do this you will kick the crap out of most investors. Doing this helped me buy Apple earlier this year at 85...

Also, many online brokers have investment tools which help you evaluate stocks. I am with TD Ameritrade, and I like them, but their investment tools aren't that strong and are probably not going to help you unless you already know some of what you are doing. I have heard Fidelity has good tools though, check them out. If you are not comfortable, there is NO SHAME (unlike what others say) in buying some solid mutual funds. That way you are diversified and you have someone managing your money as their job, plus if you shop around the fees aren't that bad, about 1%. Good luck and I hope that helps you some.
