Links from my online research as a beginning stock market student. Enjoy the learning journey! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sections (list started in 2006): Online Investment Communities/Message Boards Helpful Tools Stock Market Websites Education Online The Pro's Securities Law Terms & Words History Lessons Virtual Stock Boards Discount Brokers Exchanges & other items Publications Misc. old articles http://www.kaboodle.com/za/itemdetail?pid=AAAAAU99n4IUocKk-sovsQAAAAAAA6Yx&itemId=AAAAAU99n4IAAAAAAPL2TQ Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has. It is important to note that we measure the number of blogs, rather than the number of links. So, if a blog links to your blog many times, it still only count as +1 toward your authority. Of course, new links mean the +1 will last another 180 days. Technorati Rank is calculated based on how far you are from the top. The blog with the hightest Technorati Authority is the #1 ranked blog. The smaller your Technorati Rank, the closer you are to the top. Since at the lower end of the scale many blogs will have the same Technorati Authority, they will share the same Technorati Rank. The Technorati Top 100 shows the most popular 100 blogs based on Technorati Authority. The #1 ranked blog is the blog with the most other distinct blogs linking to it in the last 6 months. If your blog's rank is, say 305,316, this indicates that there are 305,315 blog ranks separating your blog from the #1 position.

I'm also a trader-in-training for the past dozen years or so. The best thing I've discovered along the way is interactivebrokers.com -- I've been using them for the past several years as my online trading platform. I always recommend them to friends (they should give me a commission since I'm probably responsible for about a hundred new clients for them by now ;-) They have extremely low commissions (like a buck per trade for equities) and are very reliable. You can trade stocks, options, forex, futures, bonds, etc. around the world. I wish I had discovered them during my first few years of trading -- they would have saved me thousands annually in commissions. So check them out if you don't already use them.
