  At the very least can you answer these questions for the stock you're thinking of investing in:

If you can't answer them, then should you really be investing in that company?

purelife. I've made a mistake. You don't get returns from the government, you get tax deduction for your RRSPs. Sorry. Big mistake.

there is? A casino here has to be on 'water' now defining water is difficult because some places where no water is available just builds a mote and says oh water lets build a casino.  Can't go in them anyway not legal.  
   Ha ha! That's funny. I might be wrong but AFAIK there's no water requirement here, however casinos have to share their revenue with the government. How's that for encouraging capitalistic free entreprise?

Yeah same here the money goes to the schools but instead of having more money go to the schools on top of money alocated from the government, the conservatives then cut all funding to the schools.  What a joke. Gives them an excuse to build more casinos.  Missouri has the most gambling addicts that don't live in Vegas.  Got 8 casinos in the metro area and 2 are coming on the way so that 10! casinos in a 50 mile radius.

Purelife, you came to mind when I was reading this article.......[A href="vny!://www.fool.com/investing/international/2007/02/16/todays-strong-buys-international-edition.aspx?source=eptyholnk303100&logvisit=y&npu=y"]link[/A]

Thanks 49er.  Bless.  I've bookmarked that for further in-depth reading.

I've never learned anything that I didn't already know, or figured out a way to make money from reading fool.com's articles.



Maybe it's just me, but I get the impression that unless you're paying them to send you direct buy/sell recommendations, they have a dozen or two of these articles they publish on a daily basis, and they say next to nothing at all in them!



Sometimes they rehash what happened in the past, sometimes they brag about how they had already recommended a winning stock a few months back in one of their paid subscriptions (and of course by then it's too late to get in on the action) but that's it. You keep reading and reading and reading, and you get nowhere!



But then perhaps that's the belief they're trying to instill in their readers: "No matter how  much you read, this is difficult stuff, you can't figure it out on your own, so better pay us and let us make you rich, otherwise you'll just keep on wasting your time."



Remember, this is just a very subjective observation. So YMMV - your milage might vary.

my only intent of posting the link was because PL had mentioned something about investing in China and another poster mentioned talking to an financial adviser........article discusses both.  It was never for her to subscribe to Fools

  I'm like you, I have never paid for a subscription or for recommendations.  I learned investing by participating in an investment club........and I would recommend this route to anyone who is thinking of investing in the stock market.
