Im becoming very interested in trading and really think I want to give it a go
..problem is
I have not traded a day in my life 
Im good at paying attention to details, I love to analyze (Im a Virgo!
) and reading so I don't mind reading up every book on trading,
investments and economics. My favorite magazine is the economist but now that I'm
leaning toward trading I have been checking out Forbes and Future Magazine.
I read a book today in the bookstore about spotting trends and it was kind of fun,
like doing crossword puzzles, lol, O-K- not THAT easy
The book did say that all that reading is not really necessary though (but hey, i
like reading, its ok), but what would you suggest for a first time trader?
Are you new the game?

If you want to be a long term investor I would suggest investing in mutual funds with a site like Vanguard or Fidelity. If you want to do short term day trading, I think ScottTrade has the lowest per-trade cost.
