    My advice to you is to never invest based on what you read on a NFL message board.

    Dude, it's super easy.

    Once you just kind of click here and there the money basically makes itself.

    I honestly wish It'd stop coming now, because I'm going to end up in a higher tax bracket. I clicked too much without realizing the consequences.

    I think investools is a good PAY service if you want to devote the time it takes to learn their system. I found the setup very user friendly and valuable information presented in one spot. They heavily promote options trading, that trading is where you can really make big bets / big money.

    The main reason I quit using them is they were pretty harassing with sales pitches for you to sign up to go to conferences or buy some other products they were offering. It was ridiculous. Maybe they've wised up about that now?


    www.fool.com "The Motley Fool" is a free website with stock recommendations and public chatter. I had a family member that found some user on fool that would post his stock picks. He did really well so my family member just copied his stuff and made some cash for awhile.

    McD was one of my home runs. I held for almost 20 years.

    Personally, I recommend mutual funds over individual stocks. The reason being you have a professional investor managing the fund who is paid to know the companies, the markets, etc. You can choose funds from various categories if you want or choose them based on the level of risk/growth.

    If you are just getting into investing, that's where I would start. Some require, at least, a $500 investment to start but some are much less. And many also allow you to set it up so it pulls whatever you wish, per month, from your checking. You can find their histories on many sites.

    And I agree with the advice of thinking long term.
