OSDisc.com

One of the best places on the internet for getting Linux distributions is OSDisc.com.  This website has different types of Linux operating systems on CDs and USB drives.  I highly recommend the Ubuntu and Linux Mint CDs.  Both of these operating systems are user friendly.  I have used the Ubuntu system solely in the past on one of my computers, and I currently have a dual-boot setup with Windows and Linux Mint on my main computer.  It is great to have a Windows alternative if you need it or want it.

Zenyatta

Zenyatta is a Canadian company with a large resource of graphite.  In case you have not heard, graphite can be turned into graphene, and this is the new hot material for making semiconductors.  Zenyatta's over-the counter stock, ZENYF, has increased more than 200% in the past year.  This is definitely a company to keep on your radar.

Ticker Sense

Ticker Sense is an excellent website for news about possible stock market directions.  They have pie charts that show bullish or bearish sentiment as well as other news and links.  For example, if sentiment is more bearish than bullish, it might be a good time to buy stocks because the stock market will eventually rise, especially if the bullish sentiment starts climbing in subsequent weeks.

Fibonacci-Stocks.com

Fibonacci-Stocks.com is an excellent website for learning about Fibonacci trading, for possible stock picks, and for seeing multiple tables that try to make sense of the stock market direction.  For example, when the yield of ten year bonds is near an annual low point, that is the time to buy stocks.  People will buy bonds when they don't trust stocks, and the yield consequently drops while the price of the bonds or bond stocks actually goes up due to more demand. Eventually, investors will quit buying bonds when the yield gets so low that stocks offer a better alternative.

Fibonacci-Stocks.com tracks the ten year bond rate along with many stock ETFs that are worthwhile trading at various times.  The website also lists manufacturing statistics from the Federal Reserve so that you can get an idea about whether the economy is getting better or worse.  If the economy is getting better, then stocks will go up.

McClellan Financial Publications

I recently discovered a great website for excellent stock market information. McClellan Financial Publications has free training about the stock market as well as paid information. You can get a free stock market chart each week by email from McClellan. The April 20 chart involved information about the New York Stock Exchange summation index. McClellan believes that the 2012 stock market still has room to go up after the April pullback. You can also look at the weekly chart on the "Chart In Focus" page of the website.

Another important page on the website is "Market Breadth Data". If you have more advancing stocks than decliners, the stock market is in good shape. Whenever the decliners outnumber the advancing stocks you need to think about sitting on the sidelines for a while. I believe McClellan has excellent advice on future movements of the stock market in general. This is very useful information since most stocks move together. You can make a lot of money if you can position yourself for the stock market at the right time.

Stock Market ETFs

Have you ever been confused or disappointed about the stock market's direction? Help is readily available on the internet nowadays so that you can understand what is going on for thousands of stocks. However, since Europe and the U.S. are both struggling with political and financial problems in 2011, the fundamentals of stocks do not matter as much as they formerly did. If the whole stock market goes down, it is currently taking good stocks with it.

The best way to invest in this scenario is by ETFs. These are exchange traded funds that hold underlying stocks or commodities like mutual funds, but they trade like stocks at any time of the day. GDX holds gold miners, and GLD tracks the price of gold. Hundreds of other ETFs involve all the other stocks. For example, ROM holds a lot of tech and internet stocks. One excellent website for analyzing ETFs is ETF Screen.com. This website shows you how over 800 ETFs are doing in relation to each other. So, you could essentially buy the strongest ETFs until they start to drop in the ratings.

eHow.com

One of the best information websites on the internet for many different types of information is eHow.com. They have quality information on hundreds of topics like health, money, computers, family, cars, electronics, crafts, and jobs. You can set up an account with them for free.

You can also get daily emails from eHow on new articles that are posted on the website. If you are experienced in certain areas, you can also write articles for eHow and make a little extra money. This website is one of the first places you should look if you want free information on many useful topics.
