Default Re: Wall Street Gurus

Good points. I assume that Tgoldman is a novice investor hoping that by following an analyst he'd make money which most often means he'd be the last one in and the last one out. Figured the most important thing he should learn is why stocks go up. ONeill's work covers that, imo. Fundamental analysis is good if you've got deep pockets, time, and can ride a stock from 16 to 4 and then back up again, technical analysis will hopefully put you in the stock during its most dynamic move. Either way he needs to park at least 3 months living expenses in a money market, start with mutual funds, and then move into individual equities. JMHO.
