How to post a new thread?

I'm new to this forum stuff. How do I post a thread once I log in? What about answering a thread?

 

Well you look like you figured out how to post a thread.

You can get a lot of information here (bottom right on every page):

Most of it though is common sense. Look right after a thread and it says "Write your reply..."

 

How would I start a new post from any section of the forum.

 

Make sure you are facing the computer monitor, then click on the button that is in the top right and says "post new thread"

 

I am logged in, and I do not see a "Post New Thread" button anywhere.

 

Just being logged in isn't enough. The "Post New Thread" button doesn't appear on the home page. Click on a forum section. The first section is "Stock Picks And Trading Strategies". Once you're in a section, then you should see the "Post New Thread" button.
