Should a newbie, upgrade to the PRO account right away, what benefits would it be for me to go right to PRO. 

TIA-Maurice

From what I understand, the Pro account allows you to access some of the more exclusive features on BP, such as unlimited use of their calculators (under the tools tab). I think BP is great! Nothing against BP here:

But you do not need a pro account to be an investor. Most investors on this site got started long before they ever discovered BP. I have learned a lot from BP from what I have read on and through this platform.

In my opinion, if you are a "newbie," your extra money would be better spent on more practical things (time).

A book I'm reading right now, which parallels what I have learned from my time in Education, is "backward's planning."

Start with your main goal. Then list what you need to do by the end of the year to get there. Then list what you need to do each month to get there. Then do a new list down to the day.... It is tough!

You will see then that spending money on the frills don't actually get you closer to your main goal, and in the early stages, actually makes it harder to reach your main goal.

We live in the age of the internet...We carry supercomputers in our pockets.... Knowledge is free!
