Re: Couple newb questions about opening an online brokerage account.
lol @ taking advice from Magazines... how do you ever think this is current and not all the smart money is already there....
I think you can play around with some real money.. just don't gambool everything. Put 80% in some diversified index fund like VTI (Vanguard Total Stockmarket index) and then go try your luck with the rest.... applying what you read in your books... but be careful about your first line...stock market and economics are not immediately related - there is about a 6 month lag between stock market and the economy, so make sure you keep these 2 separate... or you will always be early or late...... GOOD LUCK !!!
