    One of my new years resolutions is to teach myself to analyse the stock market better.

    I have the books and am reading them, but I could do with some help, so I thought I wld reach out to my fellow boardsies.

    Im looking for a website like the wexboy blog, where he goes thought individual shares and discusses how much they are valued at ?

    Other than seeking alpha is there anything else out there, Im sure there is but I havent been able to find it.

    In this day and age of ETF's and index funds, I think it would be easier for you to start on stock sectors. Once you are able to identify which sector money is flowing into/out of, it is then that you drill down in to individual stock selections. How you choose to value the company is up to you, with so many different strategies out there, you really do have to decide what your time frame is for holding the stock, BEFORE Buying.

    Do remember, that you will be up against some of the smartest and dumbest (fools and their money) people on the planet, so it is always helpful to know where you are on that scale.

    Thanks for your comments

    I did accounting for my leaving cert and got the highest marks in the school, got the highest leaving cert marks in the school actually, for all that means. I didnt follow up accounting for my career. Was I 22 again after college I would possibly try and do a post grad in either software or some form of financial trading. Im v good with numbers.

    I don't consider myself a genius or v v v intelligent by any means, but Im good at learning, the best mechanic I know never went to school but has a business with a 100k profit, not too many earning that in rural ireland.


    I have the time to learn about the stock market and the time to study things, I just need appropriate lessons if anything, and a good way to do that is via analysing examples I think.
