Tips & Warnings

• Stock tips are sometimes written by the companies that are trying to sell the stock. Look for a disclosure statement on Web sites and electronic newsletters to see who wrote the information.
• File any complaints about a suspected scam with the SEC by e-mailing [e-mail]. Include details such as the Web site, newsgroup, e-mail addresses, names of companies or people, and your own name, address, e-mail address and phone number.
• Beware of advice dispensed in chat rooms and on bulletin boards. Always check information with reliable sources.
• There's no way to know whether someone giving you a tip is getting paid for it.

on 5/7/2008 Google the markets you're interested in, and you'll find advice columns, brokers, blogs, forums, you name it. I, for example, recently went headlong into the Chinese markets, and I found www.chinastockadvice.com and www.chinastockreports.com to be very useful in giving me information that would help me invest wisely.

on 5/6/2008 Use a search engine to find information on the markets that interest you. I, for example, recently went headlong into the Chinese markets, and I found www.chinastockadvice.com and chinastockreports.com to be very useful. Sites like these will provide the information on the existing markets and companies, and will give you a better idea of where it is best to invest.
