I like bankrate because you can alwyas see the latest news about new online banks and find out the ones with the highest interest rates. They have a lot of advice there about various methods to use for saving money such as CD ladders, etc. If you want to build credit, they have a really good section on how to do it properly and certain things you should do to build your credit score (FICO Score). They also have some useful interest calculators you can use.

I read it a few times a week. My strategy has always been to make money on the internet first, then save it in online savings and money market accounts that pay the most

I bookmarked it! I usually take online money and plow it into mutual funds and a few CDs, self-directed IRA. I go for about 7-10% return a year in those and almost always can achieve it. I'm a lot more conservative with real money offline. I got to live on that stuff one day NUK QUOTE(nuk @ Oct 1 2005, 08:43 PM) That is quite an informative site. I bookmarked it!

They actually do a little better each year than I do as I don't follow their picks 100%  Not the cheapest at $150/year but worth it. Same price for MoneyLetter of moneyletter.com, also really good. I'm not a very *active* investor as I go mainly medium-to-long term but like to have all the info, all the time I do invest in some load funds though that have low management expenses so they basically are about the same as a no-load with high expenses. Some of Fidelity's load funds are worthwhile even in comparison to no-loads. NUK QUOTE(nuk @ Oct 1 2005, 09:11 PM) I subscribe to Forbes' NoLoad Fund *X newsletter and it's really good.

I want to start using some of my online earnings to do some 'convential investing.' The Forbes newsletter sounds interesting as well as Bankrate (thanks guys)
I'm thinking of subscribing to the newsletter but I'm wondering if there's a good place to learn about mutual funds, stocks etc... and how to go about investing in them. Any advice would be appreciated ~Christine QUOTE(moodykitty @ Oct 6 2005, 06:15 PM) I want to start using some of my online earnings to do some 'convential investing.'
