My $10000 Dollars

Current YTD Performance: -$2063

This morning when the market opened, my portfolio soared by $700 in value. I was jumping in joy as I got ready for work swearing that today will be an awesome day. Then during lunch, I took a peak into my account slightly hoping my portfolio was up even further….then the atomic bomb went off in my office. I found out that the bears came back once again and nailed me in the a**, taking the value down by a whopping $400!

I recently came across a cool site through MyBlogLog called Feed The Bull. It’s a site similar to the concept of Digg where users can submit and vote on investing related articles.

Here are some of the great sites/shows I take advantage of for my learnings:

1) Morningstar.com - I love their front page. It easily shows the market status by different segments. A quick snapshot of most active trades, biggest losers and biggest winners. I use this site everyday for the front page.

2) CNNMoney.com - I love their stock quotes. Easy to search, easy to read, various information associated with the stocks. You can also check where the market is going by looking at the futures before the opening bell.

3) Mad Money on CNBC - I love watching Jim Cramer and his energy. He really has some great insight and I use him to discover investing options. He has various sections like “Lightning Round” and “Are You Diversified”. He is insane though. Who eats SPAM raw because his prior stock he recommended sucked? Only a madman..

4) Motley Fool - Good compilation of articles that readers can vote. You can find articles that you wouldn’t find elsewhere. (more…)
