So, where do you get news about investments? When it comes to investment news, there are no short lists. It is everywhere.
So, where I start.

In addition, I usually watch or listen to CNBC’s Fast Money or Jim Cramer’s Mad Money.
Before I invest through I do my research (homework) on any investment that I purchase or I am thinking about purchasing.
I haven’t even mentioned the countless paid subscription newsletters that you can purchase, investing software you can buy, or the investment clubs you can join.
Before buying any investment.
1. Buy what you know
2. Buy what you understand
3. Know the risks involved
4. Research...Research...Research\
5. Buy what you can afford
6. Diversify (Don’t buy one industry or one stock)
7. Keep with the market and the news
8. Know when to sell
