Sweet man, glad to have you on board

I would recommend any books written by William O'Neil, who is the founder of investors.com and is seriously a machine. He is the founder of CANSLIM trading.

Take it one step further and talk in terms of 'R' to really see who has performed the best based on risk-to-reward. Dollars are no good, percentages are ok, R is the only value to determine a system's true worth!

Great post. How many brokers are there that just rely on their companies managed accounts and recommendations... Most of them! There are so few that do their own work it is really a shame. I know tons of people who have used several different brokers, most with really lame results that often don't even keep pace with inflation.

Sorry for the plug, but SteamStreet (reviewed on Stock Trading 101 today) provides these tools that allow you to compare your portfolio against indexes, stocks and mutual funds on a percentage basis. We take into account deposits and withdrawals to give you an accurate view of your returns. Your portfolio is charted using these percentage returns, and soon you'll be able to see that chart against those indexes, stocks, funds, and even your friends' portfolios.
