I know the basics of investing but I have never actively gotten into it. I have a 401k and a Roth IRA so I figured I should start getting into the stock side of things. I recently opened a Scottrade account and I have money just sitting in there waiting to purchase some shares. I am a little hesitant because I really don't know the first step in analyzing a stock. If you don't mind can you please offer advice with the following:
1) How do you determine which stocks to invest in?
2) What do you do when analyzing a stock? I realize a lot may go into this answer and you can just provide something brief, if you like.
I would like to take the "buy and hold" approach to things to start with until I can fully understand everything.
I frequent this board daily but hardly ever post on it. I try to gain as much info as possible by lurking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated fellas

I think the pro's on this board should start an advisor website and charge for services.

1, I don't consider you a pro
2, I will only pay for this service if you accept buttcoins and unicorn farts as payment.

She's got to be of the age of consent and up to 30 or so. I tend to invest in cougars during a bull market.

I prefer to post her picture online and see if she gets rated somewhere in the OT 7-10 range. Anything less than a 7 should be sold. I'm more of an arse man myself but its hard to pass up a hooker sporting some big bewbs

I would wait for marriage if I were you. You lose a lot of freedom getting tied down this early in your investing career while you are naive. Several people believe "Buying and holding" is the ultimate goal, but speculating while young allows you to dip into the Asian, European, Australian and South American stocks at will, without upsetting the family.

I'll discuss it with the other board Gurus and let you know (I wouldn't hold my breath though)

Listening to Russian is a flawless plan.

Sadly, that's a better average than for most advisors.
