Newbie to the investment world

HI everyone I am a new person to this site as well as to the investment community,
I have obtained my first broker designation and I DO NOT as of yet work in the
investment field or the finance industy as of yet, right now I am doing my series 7
and I am getting out resumes to finacial firms for an internship, I wouuld like books,
other than THE INTELLIGENT INVESTOR , and A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET. BOOKS that focus alot on tech analysis, I dont watch the markets alot
right now with studying for my S7, and I KNOW THAT I should, but I feel like I
am just studying in vain I should know alot more about the markets and what indicators,
to watch and how to use them, SORRY for the long post. THANK YOU

Welcome to TL and best of luck with your studies. Learning the markets is a life-long process so stick around and get involved - there is no better way than to learn from others.

Re: Newbie to the investment world

You're not really going to need technical analysis for the series 7 exam. You may want to know it for your clients, but you're really going to be looking a lot more at fundamentals. Yes, It's going to be great stuff to know in general, and it can improve a fundamental's portfolio skills, but remember, your main job is going to be a salesman, and you're probably going to forget a lot of this stuff you're not going to use. Your firm will have their own analyst and let you know which stocks you should sale, or based on your kickbacks what mutual funds you should push. If you try to use technical analysis for your clients, you'll should probably expect a call from your compliance department. Remember, at full service firms they charge a full service commission. Day traders didn't exist until discount brokers!

Re: Newbie to the investment world

YES you are right, PONY - I know that I WILL just be a sales man, for the investment industry, but I just want to know more tech analysis for myself, my true objective is to open my own firm, that is why I am doing all of this B.S - just to get the experience in the field and open my own firm.

I didn't mean to offend. I am in the exact same boat, except that I have no desire to open my own firm. I just thought with you starting out, that you would not know exactly what your job would entailing. Mine is more of eventually not wanting a boss.

Probably more true than almost any other topic area I have come into contact with. It continues to amaze me that the more I learn the more I realize I don't know, but really enjoying the journey!
