I strongly agree with what you said. It is imperative that we focus all of our efforts on finding the true "fundamentals" of stocks before we buy/sell. With todays struggling economic situation, it is hard to judge what is "undervalued" because almost everything is, but make investments based on the long term. That is, if you buy cheap today, hold for at least 3-6 months because it will take time for stocks like Apple and Microsoft to turn around! I was using www.swiftstocks.com this week in order to follow these two stocks and it is amazing how quickly bad news effects stocks. The minute negative news came out for Apple, the stocks price plummeted because people are scared! Anyways, buy and hold long. You will not be disappointed! Cbrown

ok so my paid online broker (scottrade) is not working so i am using
www.swiftstocks.com site too. this is the only free one that i could
find that is actually reliable! anyone else having problems with their
online brokers?

I'd love to win that!
