I am learning about stocks.

I would like to know where do traders typically go to browse/find stocks they may want to buy. Are there standard resources traders generally use?

First you need to determine the criteria for stocks you want to buy. Then use a stock screener to search for stocks meeting those criteria. Any good brokers will provide a stock screener at no additional cost. Once you have that list, find out more about each company to narrow the choices.

If you want to browse and find the opinions of others: Yahoo Finance, MSN Money, Market Watch, and Seeking Alpha are good starting points.

These days, traders are computers. They wait until someone wants to buy a stock and they buy it ahead of him and sell it to him at a higher price.

Computers make decisions in microseconds. How fast are you.

The bottom line, become an investor, not a trader.

As a starter, open trading account with ICICI / HDFC Securities, they have good dmo classes and virtual trading platforms which shall help you.
