Stock investing?
I am total new at stock
investing and while the market
is low right now I want to
invest in some stock. Where
can i go either online or who
can I talk to about investing
in a couple shares of stock.
keep in mind I have very
little money so I want to make
the most out of what ever I
can invest in. How does it
work? What's the cheapest I
can invest in a stock?

Sounds to me like you should put your money into the Vanguard S&P 500 fund. |

How do you apply the Kelly How do you apply the Kelly
Criterion to stock investing?

You should do a search for "Ed Thorp." He's probably the best known practitioner of applying Kelly to stock trading. He has written a number of papers publicly available on the subject and are quite interesting, if abstruse. To use Kelly with a multi-asset portfolio, you need three things - the expected return, the volatility, and the covariance between your prospective stock holdings. Then you have to implement some linear algebra to arrive at the "optimal" portfolio construction. Obviously, this is not straightforward. You can also look up papers by William Ziemba. He covers the same subject, which he describes as capital growth theory. |

this be written off on my tax

No, Publication 529 which covers "Miscellaneous Expenses" expressly prohibits deducting "Investment-related seminars" "You cannot deduct any expenses for attending a convention, seminar, or similar meeting for investment purposes" Sorry, I hope it at least worked for you. |
