howdy-ho gringos. Im also just starting out investing and I can attest, The Intelligent Investor is an amazing book. Also check out "Beating the Street" by Peter Lynch. Reading is definitely the way to go when it comes to developing your investment skills.

Anywho, heres my portfolio, started it on investopedia slightly more than a month ago. Rate, Hate Masturbate.

how's my portfolio looking guys? 21 years old entering my last year in Uni as a math/econ major. Currently working right now as a bookkeeper for a large non-profit this summer. I got into paper trading because of my father's success in the stock market. He's a doctor so he earned a lot of capital to invest but recently he's been showing me his portfolios and his past successes and it was really eye opening. In some years he more than tripled his money and in almost all years had more than 20% returns. He really pushed me to begin reading about these things and practicing. He also specialized in cheap penny stocks which is where Im practicing mostly. Does anyone have tips/things they wish they knew earlier when it comes to investing in cheaper stocks?

Also, a great book that really helped me was Peter Lynch's "Beating the Street." Definitely recommend it to anyone starting out in investing.
