      Begin watching the market. Make CNBC a part of your life. Subscribe toThe Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily, and Barren's. I wouldnot recommend subscribing to Forbes, Business Week, Money Magazine or anyother financial publication, because the majority of the news in thesemagazines can be found in the Journal, IBD, or Barren's. I find that toomany subscriptions makes for a lot of unread, wasted paper. It doesn't hurtto pick them up once in a while, and I always browse the covers at thelocal newsstand to see what the topic du jour is.
