His teachings are compatible with our own. In early issues of Jamzie Stock we began to explain our investment criteria. Before investing you should learn them. If you followed the first three steps, you should now have a brokerage account with a good online broker, a good introduction to stock investing from reading Peter Lynch, and a good sense of how to evaluate stocks for yourself from learning our eleven investment criteria. In a sense, you have now finished boot camp and are ready to look for some stocks in which to invest.
Many questions remain.
We don't have room to address any more here, but we'll try to cover these questions in upcoming issues, along with our usual discussion of stock picking and suggestions of promising stocks. For now we can recommend two more things. Depending on your situation you may be able to invest in stocks while you are doing this, but make sure you pay adequate attention to reducing your debt. It will put you on firmer financial footing, and the money you save in interest payments will be just as valuable as money you could have made on your stock picks. Second, do not let the current market turmoil scare you, but do not hurry to buy stocks immediately, either.
