I want to learn about the stock market, and practice investing in the stock market.

I’ve seen a lot of “Stock Market Game” websites on the internet; which is the best? (Preferably free!)

Today, January 22, 2008 all the news channels were focusing on the stock market a huge risk of recession. They also said that the federal government reduced interest rates. I only saw bits and pieces of the news report. What exactly happened? What was the scare? What did the government do?

I can make educated guesses and research my horses at the race track, and you can get 20 bucks back from only investing 1 dollar, easily. You’ll be hard pressed to get that return in 1 day at the stock market. And who want’s to gamble in the long term? You invest $10,000 only to have the broker tell you that you MIGHT get a good return? Find me a broker who will tell you NOT to buy stock and I’ll give you a $100.

What was the PE of the stock market before and after the stock market crash of 1929? What I’m really wondering, was that stock market really a “bubble” crashing?

I want to invest but i dont know how much when & where…
Basically, I have little knowledge of how the stock market works, and I just want to get started. What I really want to know is how stocks and the stock market works, how to play the market - things like that. In fact, if there’s recommended reading on the subject for beginners, that’d be great too. Any other advice about particular stocks, or even advice about other preferable investment options, would also be greatly appreciated.

How about a poll to predict the stock market? If these pollsters think they’re so smart that they can predict the outcome of the presidential election weeks in advance, why don’t they do something useful and have a poll to predict the stock market or something? I’d be curious to know what the stocks will be weeks in advance.

does income made in the stock market get taxed the same as the income I make at work? I know about the long term capital gains stuff but what else.

Does it matter what tax bracket I’m in as to how much it gets taxed? Do I have to pay state tax, social security etc??

Say I Make 100 dollars in the stock market and I was in a 25% tax bracket and took out the hundred I made before a year what would I be left with?
so wait if I buy 1000 dollars worth of stock and the price of the stock increases to give me 1200 dollars worth of stock at the end of the year they tax it even if my money’s still invested in the stock? How do they differentiate this profit between a short term and long term gain then?
“Dividends are tax at your normal tax bracket, except for qualified dividends, which are taxed at maximum of 15% (5% for those in 10% or 15% bracket), and you have to pay federal and state tax, but not social security or medicare tax.”
so if I made 100 dollars in the stock market in over a year I would get taxed 15% + federal tax of 25% + state tax? Is that right? that ends up being over 40% of the income going to taxes.
