[quote=Anonymous]62 is not too old, with a life expectancy of 87, you have 25 years of time.    Lots of sources of info, some of it biased...they want you to invest in their financial products.  Find a mentor to help you get started.  If not, start watching CNBC, read info on stock investing, check out some books at the library.  I started reading Value Line Investment survey at the public library 30 years ago.  Still available with an online edition.  Still a decent source on individual stocks.   Most people follow this learning track if not in the business.  They invest in mutual funds in their 401-k for some years.  Then they  open a separate brokerage acct with Schwab or Fidelity or XYZ firm.  There they will begin investing in individual stocks after a recommendation from a friend or family member.  And they will have mixed success going this route.

Gain knowledge, start small and use funds/ETFs before you invest into individual stocks.   It is a learning process, the more you know the fewer poor decisions you will make.  Know the difference between a trader vs. an investor, and know which one you are.   [/quote]
