<prompt> Human: I see plenty of articles Forbes, MSN, etc suggesting various stocks that investors should consider to buy now. I was wondering how accurate a lot of these articles are. What are some things that I should consider prior to investing into one of these buy now stocks? Im fairly new at investing and would appreciate any and all advice.  <response>: All of these articles are whats called investment porn. They might make you feel good and they earn paychecks for their writers, but theyre not useful to you in any way. Think about it: If the writes of these articles knew 100 where a stock was going, they would invest every dollar they could get their hands on instead of writing an advice article about it.Dont pay attention to these articles and turn off CNBC, and youll do better than most other investors.Dont forget to read the Investing section in the FAQ.
