Online Stock Trading Education: Why It Could Be Worth Millions To Go Back to School

'School, yes... but not as we know it, Jim.'

What I'm talking about here is... 'Specialist coaching, mentoring and tuition for up and coming online stock traders'... or in other words, online stock trading education.

I know from my own life experience as an online stock trader, a good solid trading education combined with sound market knowledge is an absolute 'must have' if you're serious about trading profitably.

If you're on a tight budget...or just not that committed, you can always go surfing through the search engines for the squillions of free articles and resources focusing on online stock trading. But you get what you pay for these days – and if you didn't pay a cent...well, chances are it's not going to prove to be 'live changing' information.

So... if it's to be 'back to school' in pursuit of the crème de la crème of online stock trading tuition, which online learning facility should you approach?

Actually, there are a hundreds, possibly even thousands of investment web sites offering all manner of online trading courses and educational programs. Some of them are not worth the pixels they're built with. Some are plagiarized from others. But a small, elite group of these niche stock trading sites are highly ranked and contain a ton of good content.

I can personally recommend the following two online stock trading education sites and urge you to check them out for yourself:

Online Trading Academy

Tradingacademy.com has really set a standard in 'professional trader education', boasting online courses as well as brick and mortar training facilities throughout the US and Middle East. They cover a range of investment regimes including forex, e mini, stocks, commodities and options. Their mentoring services are some of the best I've seen anywhere in the world and I've lived, worked and traded in Europe, Asia and the South Pacific!

I've given these guys a five star rating, my highest, when it comes to online stock trading education. But the site is so big and comprehensive I'm going to leave it up to you to check it out. Bookmark it now – and then keep reading.

Stock Trading School

Stock Trading School is, as its name states, a dedicated online stock trading education site. It's easy to navigate, beautifully laid out, and jam packed with great stock trading techniques relevant to today's online trading environment.

If you're into multi media learning tools, this site is a 'must see'. They offer a stack of multi media stock trading courses featuring strategies including: swing trading; trend trading; short selling; day trading; and trading system development.

It's worth pointing out also that these guys absolutely 'killed it' at the 2005 Traders Expo. The trading public's interest in their stock trading course was phenomenal. Actually, considering this particular course is spread across 6 hours of DVD viewing (4 x 90 minute DVDs) and features one of America's top stock traders in Tony Oz, the US$399 limited time offer price is well worth considering.

Conclusion:

I guess it's all about you being able to 'master the art of trading stocks online without ever having to leave home'. To achieve this, you will need to make an investment in both time and money...and you'll need to be prepared to do some pretty hard core 'homework' in what will amount to a 'virtual school environment'.

At the end of the day, though... it really could be worth millions to you to invest in an online stock trading education.
