Question
How do you know when to invest in this stock or that stock?

I invest in commodities and was wondering if there was a magazine
or something that tell what is going on in the world that can effect these stocks(mainly commodities) and other information that only investors get so that they know which stock and the price might go, up down or stay(and I don't mean inside information)? Or do you have to take a course in collage, and in other words that there is so much information that you can't really write all that.

Answer
Jo,
   Thank you for your question!
Yes, this is a very big topic, and it would take up much more space than I have here to fully address it. Investing is very difficult, and if you plan to do this you should read and research as much as you can. Over the years, you will get better and better at it. I do have some publications that I recommend you look at for world wide trends that would affect commodities and other investments. My two favorites are The Economist magazine and The Financial Times Newspaper. Those two sources will serve you well.
   If you have anything more specific to ask, please do not hesitate to follow up with me. I wish you the best,

Sincerely,
