Hi Beloved, came in to sign your guestbook! So are you still going to school to be a doctor???
I like your notes about the market. It takes alot of research to keep up with the changing market. I have been staying away from the housing sector since January, because of the slump in the Economy. I am concentrating on Coal, Precious metals and Potash right now. They all are doing well. Have a good Thursday!!

I've decided to start compiling a list of sectors and industries which should be look at for investment.

One industry I believe in is retail apparel.
American Apparel is a great company with the right amount of contraversy. The CEO openly sleeps with significantly younger employees; not much different than most millionaires. But the company has had rapid growth and is a popular brand for  the 18-35 demo.

I also see how important energy is and Uranium stocks should be something I learn about. Uranium I think is long term play because environmentalists who once declared nuclear power as dangerous and even lobbied againsts it have come out of the woodwork saying that not all nuclear energy is used to make bombs. Nuclear also reduces the need significantly for coal and oil.

I am also looking at real estate companies because the housing slump isn't gonna last for ever. I really like my QCC pick which is a real estate corporation from canada. Canada has a much more responsible...conservative fiscal policy and has not been affected by the U.S economy woes like it was in the past. Canada is a good buy in this area because the bank of Canada is even able to pay back the deficit with its surplus budgets.

Minerals isn't something I fully understand and looking at junior companies I think the risk is far too high for my long term plans. Still for the sake of diversification I should look to an established junior company that could be bought out by a larger company. Something with the numbers to stand on its own and shows growth. With the way things are now, I don't think gold will ever go back down to what it was in the 90's and silver seems to follow that. Also looking at the emerging markets and their need for building materials I need to break down what is used for housing. Copper cement quarries etc... Iron steel and so forth.

Car companies which develop energy efficient cars are the way to go although solar is too expensive for me to invest in right now if a new solar company appears then it will be time to buy it.

Blah blah blah
just quick notes so I dont forget to do what I seek to.

Welcome!  I have found WSS a great place to learn how the market works, and I have also been having fun as well!  Good Luck!

So I'm trying to learn the aspect of trading. My ideal goal is retiring when Im 50
I am 25 and I used to be a journalism working for a major canadian news company.
Its a saturated market and I decided I wanted to go back to school and become a doctor. My ideal is to help people but also challenge myself elevate my status and make money so I can indulge my business dreams.

Hope I can get a hang of it, and when I move back to Toronto invest in a future of my own making.
