Wanted - Experienced traders confident to provide coaching to newbie traders like me.
Well I say I am a newbie "trader" actually I have never had the mind to actually sell anything that I have bought and "take the profits" or maybe more importantly "cut my losses". If I had I would probably be up about now
To I am not sure I could even call myself an Newbie trader if I have never completed the trade i.e. buy then sell 
After reading book after book, article after article and spending time trying avoid the lure of buying trading system scams and forums offering stock tips I am still stuck. I have picked a few stocks in the past based on the industry that's mortgage Technology so I now how to buy stocks but my problem is I have no idea how to find a stocks and even worse how to research promising stocks to identify how promising and therefore allow me to calculate the risk.
