Ask: Know any good community site about online investment?

9 points by poshj 18y ago

I'm looking for HN-like sites or conventional forum that gives us reliable advices on getting up investing online and reviews of online brokers available. I found a few, but most of them flooded with spammy and scam articles. Please suggest a site or an online broker (with review if possible). I know that it may not be relevant to ask this kind of question here, but I'm not very comprehensive in internet and HN is the only site that I think has great community and reliable contents. on a side note: I've been a lurker here for long time, and don't see the search button. Is there something I missed?

there's isn't a search feature. try google "site:http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com <your_keyword>" or http://searchyc.com http://searchyc.com

  hehe good old google :). I wish HN adds [save] link so I can read submissions later.

not quite what you're looking for, but try www.newmogul.com and www.thinkorswim.com

  thinkorswim is a brokerage. I suggest investopedia.com/ and books. Figure out what style of investing you want to try: value, technical etc. Then go buy a book on the subject. Other people have told me that they learned a lot of investing info from just blogs and books

    I read some books about fundamental and technical analysis. What I need is a community, some place you can share, and compare the outputs whether I'm doing it wrong or I'm in the right track and debate about the best technique or discuss currents news etc. Thanks for all the links.

trade2win.com/ is a good forum for technical analysis
