Free stock picks in the Initial Investments Stock Portfolio is designed for anyone who is learning to invest in stocks. It starts each year with $10,000 in capital and it is designed to help stock market beginners learn how to invest and trade without risking substantial capital. Access to this stock portfolio is free to anyone and we hope you take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to invest and trade, as well as make some money.
The trades for the Initial Investments Portfolio are posted at the end of the day after the market closes. Only Premium Members receive email notification of trades, access to the Stock Watch list, use of the Strong Sectors and Capable Companies Portfolios, and access to the Energy Semi-Automatic Trading System. Also, most of the stock and option trades in the Premium Portfolios are not replicated in the Starting Out Portfolio.
Before spending money to buy stocks, it is a good idea to learn stock investing basics. To begin, I suggest you take some time to Learn to Invest by reading a couple of articles that explain what is the stock market, how to buy stocks, how to evaluate companies and some investing rules to follow. you might also want to explore the Investor and Trader's Library, as it lists some of the best books and investing research sites that are available.
I expect the market to move higher over the next several weeks, though it is best to wait for a move to begin before committing capital. If the opportunity presents itself, I will look to buy for a short term trade. Otherwise, I will remain in cash until a more definable trend is in place.
These selections are for demonstration purposes only and should not be considered as recommendations. Please consult your financial advisor before committing your capital.
