Business/Investment-related Magazine/Newspaper

[chenchow]

As we can see, there are a lot of ReComers who hope to eventually move into the business world, be it as an analyst in I-Bank, or in various other divisions within the banking and finance world, or as an investor who would invest in stuff, like stocks, bonds, real estate etc.

So, I believe that it is good to start early to try and learn as much as possible. Hence, I would suggest that ReComers use this thread to recommend some essential online newspaper/magazine, which would be good material for various ReComers to read.

As a start, I would recommend, Wall Straits Journal.

Ideally, that would be a very good start, however, if you do not want to subscribe it, I would recommend, read through some of the free articles available there.
WSJ.com Free Articles (http://online.wsj.com/public/us)

Another good resources would be :-
Business Today Magazine (http://www.businesstoday.org/magazine/magazine.php?id=5). This is produced once every half a year.

This is published every fortnight, published by Wharton Business School. Click here (http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/)

You could check any keyword that you have heard and do not understand at Investor Words.com (http://www.investorwords.com/) or any other website.

Hope ReComers could share and learn together.

Thanks for posting. What you really mean? You mean whether we are actual investors?

I would look at all those resources as information and platform for all of us to learn, and frankly, there are tons more websites that would be good knowledge learning sites for us to gain more knowledge and understanding in this field.

I believe some of us do read the news and play some stocks & fx....investing is not easy to teach so I suggest that you really put some money into it to learn how it works, etc.

practice makes perfect, and I think one thing about investing, is to be aware of the risk. Do not go too much by your emotion, and do reckless investing. Invest what you can afford to lose, that's my two cents.

[shangzheng]

That's true

Invest what you can afford to lose, that's my two cents.

That sounds like HYIP style thou.
DD study before invest and get some advise from senior friends who are experience in asset/online or real-time forex/share investment will help in reducing the risk.

I was involved in Studio Traffic several months. It looks good lol. Any one would like to share their experience in any good return and still paying online passive investment, please have your favorite comments here. Thanks.

In my opinion, only the "crazy " and "optimistic" crowd make one's investment a success.
:D

[Salvation]

Erm, is there an online country blind reputable company that lets people invest ?

[shangzheng]

mictiong85,

I would suggest you read my post with regards to "Personal Money Mag".

There are people who are perfectly normal and have ways to access the IPO, real estate investment, special projects funding, energy trading, forex ..etc ..... the insider information is the clue.


In my opinion, only the "crazy " and "optimistic" crowd make one's investment a success.

I totally agree with you that there are people who are perfectly normal and ways to access the investing.
The words that i said may refer more to investing in share market.
The defination for the "crowd"that i meant is the other buyers of share.When they are optimistic , they will pay higher for a share . Or when they are crazy , they will pay high for the share too.And if you are the wise one, who know the intention or the way they move of this crowd, then, you can earn a lot.If not,you can just earn several percents in the return of your investing per year,like receiving dividens,and a little bit share price premium.
Let see in US market, there were a lot of crazy crowd who bought in net company,despite the earning.In 80s, in US, there was a crazy toward the biotech company.And even several hundreds years before,there was tulip crazy too.
In Malaysia, we still can see many this type of cases. In bursamalaysia, we can find out a number of shares, which post good earnings , but doesnt woe the investors,like Ajinamoto...,,. Company...But when the price of share is getting higher and higher without any good fundamental reason, but mostly because of the "action " of the big share holders, the crazy crowd go in to buy the share.Look at the Liqua(2534), the share price getting higher and higher as the company was doing its promotion greatly. BUt this company is heavily debt.Despite of it, the investors were optimistic with it, and reach a high price aboutRM2.37 at October last year.Now, only RM0.25 only.
My point is that , human has emotion,and the buyer of share is human,therefore the human emotion is one of the big factors in share market.. :D

By the way , i would like to recommend about I-capital biz.
http://icapital.biz/english/
Now, there is a promotion going on. IF you are interested, you only pay RM99 per year for the journals. :D

Good stuff, but for beginners, perhaps it is better to understand and build the foundations first, get books like for beginners so that you can better understand what is in I Capital
also, do not take recommendations blindly. These analyst, are analyst! Meaning - they based their analysis on certain factors and assumptions which are not always true or will materialise in the real world.
If ur tight in budget, i suggest second hand bookstores like Pay Less

Sorry, is it Pay Less a second hand bookstore in US?I am not studying at US :)
In concern of I Capital Biz,the one that attracted me is the economy lesson and
data so too the latest news on the Malaysia and Foreign Countries economy situation.It will be a good supplement for me as i am not a business and economy class student.
Regards the analysis made by I capital biz on the companies, probably i would only read but not believe.
By the way, how long have you invested in share market ?Please do share some experience for your investing life . :D

[DecentMerson]

i think Pay Less is a second hand bookstore in Malaysia... Klang Valley to be exact...

er... i know there are 2 branches 15 months ago(August 2004), one in Carrefour Subang Jaya, and another one at Summit USJ.

[Maxforce]

They have outlets in Atria, Jaya, Summit
