Sixpack - from a beginner's point of view I think the best you could do is take the free stuff on the web.  When I first started I visited some of the US broker sites - not to register or trade but to get their free information.  Because they are so keen to attract the day-traders over there they provide heaps of "How To" info that's all free.  I pulled most of my stuff off E-trade (www.etrade.com?) - outlined all the abbreviations, all the stuff about reading spreads, puts and calls, short-selling , margin trading plus a review of all their markets from the Dow to the OTC pinks.  None of this is directly usable in NZ but I think you'll find it helps to understand how things go on- from there you will be able to work out "why" things go on.

Subject: [sharechat] Need to learn more

Can anyone tell me how I can learn more about the stockmarket.  I love reading the forums and checking out different sites but do not feel I'm getting the information I need.  Any information on seminars or any training or courses on trading.
