For example, I am looking at a stock in a company called <a href="http://breastcancerinvesting.com/investor_call.shtml" rel="nofollow">Mentor Capital</a> because they have a 20% interest in Quantum Immunologics (QI), a privately held bio technology company with FDA approved clinical trials on the way for an innovative new breast cancer treatment. Because I have a passion for the progression of breast cancer treatment, investing in this stock is a pleasure and something I can be excited about.

There is some great information here. Personally, I believe it is very hard for people without an extensive financial background to consistently post abnormal gains. Especially with active trading since transaction costs can have a large impact on gains. I would suggest only investing in individual stocks if you are very knowledgeable about the company you are investing in. I prefer to invest in ETFs because it provides more diversification and trends more with the broader market performance. Nice post! There is some great information here.
