Mav2777,
There is no magical formula for stock recommendations apart from your own personal research. Yes you can use tip sheets,brokers recommendations,Stockmarket forums, investment trusts, financial planners etc, but they are only as good as the person behind the scenes making money out of the suckers chasing wealth & greed with no effort. Sadly this method of wealth creation doesn't work but there are still plenty each day prepared to throw their limited wealth into the hands of these "sages"!
If you only trade twice a month perhaps the sharemarket isn't really for you, given you hope someone else is going to provide the answers.
Regards
Buffett
