I want to invest in stock but im not sure to. I could get allot of money but i could lose some too.
mutuals are better because your getting several companies stocks in one as opposed to one company- one stock. ever heard the saying do not put all your eggs in one basket?
Richard, stay off the crack, will ya?
Sharebuilder is great, if you are going to invest every week or month and are willing to have it done automatically. But Really!! A 30% annual dividend yield?!? Not reality.
If you want to buy and sell at a whim try scottrade.com, or check out Trade’s recommendations. Watch ou for account minimums and inactivity fees.
I plan to invest 5000 to 10000 in the stock market. but I don’t know how to start out with. Please help.
Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work, or you will become very frustrated and disappointed.
Visit Vanguard.com and learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.
There is no stock in the world that is always going to just keep going up and up and up. Anyone who tells you there is such a stock is not being honest.
Listed below are links to FREE investing websites where you can learn the basics; otherwise, you are just going to be gambling.
im totaly mew at this, i just want some more income, i have a minimum of $250 dollars i want to start with, tell me everything i need to know, websites, whats the best stocks to invest in, everything.
Forget the mutual fund, you won’t learn anything of value. Open a scottrade.com account and look at a small stock like HCSG health care services or an oil stock cvx; hes; oxy and start watching multiple sectors and stocks. After you have a watch list around 50 stocks or so you will know when to buy and when to sell certain sectors.
IE Refiners are easy to time
Last summer purchased SUN at 70 sold at 82 bought back at 60 sold at 80. Easy when you follow through your watch list and add alerts.
fool.com; stockcharts.com; stockconsultant and buy a copy of Pring’s Understanding technical analysis.
Good luck; start small; trade smart make money.
What do you think are going to be big stocks in the next market or the maket we are in? my bet is the Microsft. (even thought it already is huge
The truth is, no one knows. People have lost big money trying to guess how the market, or companies, will do.
Best bet – buy ALL the companies: Vanguard Total Stock Market Index.
Many studies have shown that the real winners in the stock market are the ones that simply buy and hold low-cost index funds. This is what I did and I retired in my 40’s.
Remember the tech bust?? Everybody thought they knew which stocks were going to make them millionares. They were wrong.
I’m am 20 and in college, and thought I would invest some money in the stock market. I am new to stock investing and am planning to invest a $200 first. How do taxes come into play with stock investing? What companies should I invest in currently?
If you’re a rookie in investing or stocks, go to
www.finance.yahoo.com.
Open up a portfolio without using real money. You can give yourself as much or as little money to try out the market. The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody’s got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.
That’s the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won’t lose money. It’s just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too.
Then once you’re comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They’re excellent for beginners.

If you wish to research the “Buy and Hold Strategy” vs. trading and market timeing further, or perhaps trade yourself, I recommend two book titles. One is called "Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?" The other is "Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer?" They will give you plenty to think about.

We know it’s risky, but has anyone ever made a lot of money from penny stock investing?
Devid, what the hell did that have to do with Penny Stocks? LOL Whatever man!
Trying to make money on stocks that are NOT penny stocks is risky. Playing penny stocks is about the same as, or worse than, a 25-cent slot machine. The people running the penny stock trade (that would be the person owing the slot machine) make money.
One of the biggest jokes in the investment trade is why people still mess with that crap. Wondering if you should invest in penny stocks is like asking someone if you should hit yourself in the head with a hammer. It’s about as dumb as buying and taking delivery of
gold.
