Forbes,

Let’s just say we can expect to see some big real estate deals to go down in California in the next few months–and some expensive toys parked in driveways soon thereafter. But if you want to be cool in California, not just any car will do–you’ve got to prove you’re as discerning as you are rich.

Here are nine cars Facebook’s newly flush should consider:

Zynga!

can you guys suggest some decent websites for a stock market novice? i've got way too much in the market already for a 26 year old that doesn't know what the fuck he's doing....

[fox]

I'm up quite a bit on FCNTX

[staple]

i literally just put a lot of money in MSFT because i know some guys who work there and they think the future is bright

[gentleman]

can i give you some advice? don't throw money at ideas just because you have a hunch.

we are approaching a short term top with all of this bullishness...whenever everyone goes gaga for stocks and ideas...its usually time to sell.

[Gehrig Industries]

ahee

okay, can you point me towards a good stock-buying primer?

[staple]

and MSFT has been flat w/ good dividends for years, it's a better place to park my money than a savings account

[Gehrig Industries]

staple just remember ur gambling

buy market tracking ETFs if u want to gambool. having a lot of ur net worth in a single company is degen behavior

You taking some profits after this NFP pop gents/ecto? Seems like a good time to dump manufacturing/materials positions.

Breaking even on BAC today. Should probably just get rid of it.

i dont have any materials positions because the charts are all nasty and below their 200 day averages. i sold mostly everything earlier this week and now have two tech positions waiting for earnings.

i think we head higher but this extreme bullishness is not for me. there's plenty of lower risk opportunities available in the future.

[ecto]

i, too, have no materials positions

also i have norovirus so i didnt even look at the market today

I use Investopedia for their tutorials
http://www.investopedia.com/#axzz1lYDxa5HP
Khan Academy finance and valuation & investing sections are helpful for understanding broad concepts
http://www.khanacademy.org/
I end up on Seeking Alpha a lot too (along with the other major news sites: bloomberg, wsj, etc.)

Books: The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, Saving for Retirement by Gail MarksJarvis (this can be substituted with many conservative, index-based retirement strategy books.)
