Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not too worried about accumulating enough to resources to start trading with a sizable account.. However, I really want to learn all i can so when i have a chunk of money to invest i'll have a comfortable place to start from. I'm open to any other resources you can suggest to better educate myself. Thanks! Dave

Howdy Folks! Let me start by saying I'm a complete newbie to anything trading related. I will preface this with the fact that i have traded before but was ill informed and didn't know what i was doing. I do have an account with scottrade that i've had for the last 11 years, however i've only ever bought and sold 4 times (due to lack of time and a thing called life getting in the way). However, times have changed, i've gotten life under control and I've found a career that allows me ample time away from "working", and I have a fair amount of downtime between projects. My main reason to want to trade is to be come more knowledgeable, as well as to supplement any income I have and give me something to do when I'm not on a project. I don't have a huge amount to invest but i have a nice steady income that has some extra to dabble with (1k to play with atm). So with that said, eat me alive and give me some pointers! I am completely open to any idea so long as it exposes me to the ins and outs of something more than putting money in a savings account. Thank for your time. Dave
