PayPerView - some general points:
- as (if) you get into this, you'll find that there is no end to the amount of information available. Books, forums, blogs, gurus, newsletters, tv, etc., etc. Like most things, 95+% of it is crap. You will have to trudge through a lot of it to learn, but you won't know which is which for a while, so approach everything skeptically for now, and read some of the classics, which are classic for a reason.
- believe only what you observe/research yourself. Don't listen to gurus, tv "personalities," internet BSDs, tips, and worst of all government and corporate representatives. They have motives that do not include making you successful, and the latter group lie and mislead consistently.
- although there are some very helpful and generous people, there is also no end to the negativity here (and on other trading forums). Losers, especially anonymous losers, are miserable and take pleasure in trying to hurt others. Get used to it.
- you are going to have to go through a learning process, no way around it. So in the meantime, err on the side of caution, trade conservatively, and prioritize protection of capital. It will do you no good to be broke by the time you figure out what you should be doing.
Best of luck.
