Free Stuff for Investors

The best things in life for stock market traders and investors may actually be
free. There are many items for investors, including books and magazines, which
are available without charge. Here are some worth checking out. Free iPhone
Investment Applications There are several applications designed investors, which
are available for the Apple (AAPL) iPhone which can be downloaded for free. For
example, Bloomberg has a great iPhone app which provides the latest financial
news, stock info, and more. There is another free app called iThread which is a
database of hundreds of technology companies, along with who invested in them,
who they invested in, contact information, officers, and much more. Great for
venture capitalists or those that are looking for venture capital. If you are an
investor in real estate, you can check out the Trulia app, which finds homes for
sale and open houses in your area. To access these applications, just click on
the App Store icon, then the Search icon, type in 'Stock', and click Search.
Yahoo (YHOO) has a nice app called Y! Finance and so does Forbes, TheStreet
(TSCM), and Morningstar. I usually check the price of oil, natural gas, and gold
with an app called BlackGold. Free Trading Magazine A free subscription to SFO
Magazine is available, which covers stocks, futures, options, forex and ETF's.
This magazine, which has been around for many years, is designed for the
individual trader. By the way, SFO stands for Stocks, Futures, Options. Free
Investing E-Books You can get 13 Free Stock Market E-Books , all in a pdf format
which can be downloaded and read on your computer or printed out. These are
provided by swing-trade-stocks.com. You can also receive a free stock market
book, offered by traderslibrary.com . You can choose from one of three different
investment ebooks. Free Stock Market Games A free stock market game, using a
Virtual Stock Exchange , also known as a Stock Market Simulation or Fantasy
Stock Market, which allows you to practice your trading for free, is available
from howthemarketworks.com. A stock market simulator game is also available from
investopedia.com . There is also a free stock market trading game at Wall Street
Survivor . Free Stock Screeners There are plenty of free stock screeners out
there, and if you have an online brokerage account, they probably have a
screener on their site. There are several other sites that have free screeners
available including Yahoo! Finance , thestreet.com (TSCM) , and MarketWatch.com
. Free Top Hedge Fund Info Have you ever wondered what the top hedge funds and
top mutual funds are investing in? Want to follow in their footsteps, piggyback
on their stockholdings? You could spend many hours combing through SEC records
to get this info, or you could do it the easy way, by going to Stockpickr.com ,
which has all that information at your fingertips for free. Free Investment

spreadsheet templates available from 18stocks.com , such as 'How Long to Become
a Millionaire' and 'Stock Recovery Analysis'. Free Stock Certificate Valuation
Have an old stock certificate from a company like Enron or WorldCom or maybe you
just have an old stock or bond certificate that you inherited from your
grandmother? Want to find out what it is worth as a collectible? Maybe you want
to get rid of it for tax loss purposes, or just turn your trash into cash. You
can get a free valuation of your old stock certificate as a collectible at
AntiqueStocks.com . Free Sortable Stock Lists One site that has dozens of free
stock lists in an Excel format is WallStreetNewsNetwork.com . The lists can be
downloaded, updated, and sorted, and include such industries as Brazil stocks,
Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway Stocks, candy and chocolate stocks, casino
stocks, china stocks, cloud computer stocks, lithium stocks, shipping stocks,
and water purification and desalination stocks. There is also a free retirement
analyzer spreadsheet template from the site . Disclosure: Author owns AAPL and
