anyone know a good site to kinda get me going in the right direction for stocks?

 

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but this is a decent forum (canadian business) to learn and capture some ideas to start your research from. The banks and investment firms also have their own sites of course where you can research. Google and yahoo finance have decent sites, mostly from a US perspective. If you google search you'll get all kinds of different forums and investor info sites but most are US- which might be fine if that's where you're looking to invest.

Here is one on stocks: http://www.stockchase.com/index.php


Here is the TSX: http://www.tmxmoney.com/en/individual.html

 

i live in toronto so would i be capped to just working with the tsx?

 

No, US as well. You'll need to set up an account at a brokerage. Do your homework starting on that Canadian business forum where you can learn the basics and more, set up a practice account first before investing since it sounds like you're a rookie.

 

Funny, I was going to suggest Kijiji for stocks, rims that is. Good catch, but thats normal for you Easterners.

 

Well shucks that's awful nice of you.

Maybe kijiji does have a stock section too. They have everything else.
