My readers are reporting this week that they’re concerned about a killerpennystocks.com scam. I guess that this week they released another hot penny stock pick.

It seems everybody that visits my Stock Market Investing Today wants a list of great stock to buy. I discussed this earlier in an article called Great Stock To Buy Today.

Today I wanted to talk specifically about a question my friend asked me today which was can I buy stock with my Roth IRA. The answer is yes. A Roth IRA is just a special type of account arrangement with special tax treatment. While you can buy stocks in it, you can also use other [...]

A while back I had a reader question the Scottrade penny stock rules. There was a rumor that you couldn’t buy penny stocks through them any more. I called Scottrade and asked them.

One of the best reasons to buy stock is to beat inflation. I went to the bank the other day and I just can’t believe that interest rates are so low. Something that doesn’t bode well for the stock market in my opinion. Once interest rates rise, the market will probably go down as it [...]

While the market has undergone a couple of distribution days, the current outlook hasn’t changed. Remember that you’ve got to keep tabs on the current trend [...]
