First, watch all the free webinars you can, i made it a point to try to watch at least one a day when i got serious. they are usually about an hour each so its not a lot of time to commit. Watch it at night if you work before you go to bed, TIVO all that gay stuff you watch on the Bravo channel if you have to. Sources for free webinars are:
a. your brokers website.. Trademonster has dozens, Ameritrade has dozens, etc
b. try Optionmonster.com , lots of free stuff there. some sites might require you to login but who cares..its free.
c. also http://www.optionseducation.org/ , lots of free webinars, podcasts, online classes... you can download to Ipod and watch whenever..probably on ipad / iphone as well
d. you dont have to pay to get educated so if you are thinking about signing up for a $599+ class...well you are probably the greater fool..too much free info out there
Second, you should read a few books about it.. my top 3 list is here
Investing books to read
all are available either at libray or free pdf download.
Third, follow successfull traders on twitter.. look for ones that mention their losers along with winners. Avoid the ones the are cheerleaders, constantly humping their stocks. if you watch a trader carefully and after a while think "this MF'er always makes money" he is either a paper trader or very good at being a hindsight trader convincing his followers he was in it all along. The best ones will post their technique / methods for getting into trades, post their entries and their exits.
Take the successful technique and apply it to the stocks you like.. dont keep asking "what do you think of this trade" .. paper trade it first until you are comfortable.
no she doesnt have anything to do with options
