just getting my feet wet in trading, very new to the markets and all their wonderful glory. would love to hear from new and seasoned traders alike.  Im here looking for supplemental income along with a way to eventually siphon savings into a couple low risk nest eggs for my families future.

im most readily available in google chat most of the day and night as: i t z m i k o

Ive been doing a lot of reading for the basics, such as terms, acronyms (geez, i thought the IT world was bad), etc. doing some free trading over at investopedia.  looking for stocks to buy and researching what little i know to look for.

would like to hear from some of you about what books you have read, or sites you use.  any advice for a small starter (few thousand), on what kind of strategies i might look into, or other tidbits of wisdom?  Or just to bullshxt.

I'm very new to trading and have wanted to try my hand at it for some time now.  Always too busy to learn and it finally occurred to me to just do it.  So, here I am, learning as much as I can while I wait for TK to get my ACH up and running.

Watch the videos in the Rookies Corner. You will find that under the blue "Education" tab.  I have learned great things here in the past year. I still got a long way to go, but I suggest learning all you can here, whether you are going to use it or not. Just keep expanding. Watch videos and read. Buy books and lean to have fun. Do not get too attached to any loses. They are an important part of learning.

How's everybody's luck?  I'm currently waiting for my account to fund.  Only starting off with a couple hundred or so, until I learn the ropes.  Any advice is welcome.
