Success in the stock market is based upon strategy more than anything (sometimes timing). I had no idea about the stock market and wealth creation about 6 months ago and am now employing some amazing share trading techniques that I learnt from an incredible Free DVD that I requested from http://www.free-dvd.com.au
The techniques I learnt you just wouldn't know existed for example the options market is incredible! You can buy shares and put a call option on them so someone essentially rents them from you for a month for say... 50 cents each and they pay you upfront, so if you had 1000 shares thats $500. You should really take a look. http://www.free-dvd.com.au |

Yes, it is stressful. And you have to have a lot of patience. I have learned that the hard way a few times.
It's also fun and rewarding when you make a good play |

It's fun and can be lucrative...but you can't do it half-"baked" if you want to be your own broker...in order to make money, you have to be really interested in it and spend alot of time looking up companies and making decisions. You have to like the ups and downs and the excitement that goes along with making wins, both big and small.
If you don't care to be that involved, but you want to invest, save up your money and get a stock broker to do the investing for you.
PS- it can be stressful, but if your mentally stable, you'll enjoy the stress and the ups and downs and you'll love being completely engaged in it. |

If you stick to big successful companies or mutual funds, it is very pleasurable. You just sit back and wait for the dividend check twice a year which almost certainly will keep increasing every year.
And if you do not like what you get, you can go to the annual general meeting and tell the company president to pull his socks up. |

It's not really stressful if you know what you're doing. Knowledge and practice are needed, but it can be an easy way to earn money. I've just started trading in stocks in january, and have already made about 5k. Not bad for a newbie considering the market right now isn't all that optimistic |

Is ain't sressful when you have confidence in what you are doing
You have to learn the ropes
Try and find some people whom you are acquainted with that can steer you in the right direction |

The investment business has been very good to me.
The only pressure you have in the market, is the pressure you put upon yourself. Yes there are times when you get frustrated (mostly with yourself) but you have to keep going.
You learn not trade with emotions, trading becomes mechanical, with everything you do because your trading is all done based on the rules that you have laid down
Don't let people tell you trading is bad, or the market is bad, these people are very negative and don't think properly
A trader in the market doesn't care if the market goes up or down, only if there is volume. A good trader/investor can make money in a good market or a bad one
Based on over forty years of experience, I'd say go for it.
My daughter came into this business and after over 15 years she's still a trader and very successful & profitabe one, I'm now working on my grandchildren
Good luck & God bless |

The stock market can indeed be very stressful. The only way to reduce the stress is to have a long-term investment strategy that utilizes dollar cost averaging and dividend reinvestment.
If you understand how these two strategies work, it will allow you to sleep somewhat better in down markets.
The best way I have come across of taking advantage of these methods is through a DRIP Plan. I have had mine for over 20 years and it has yielded 10.4% on average annually.
They are seldom recommended by brokers due to the low rate of commissions received. However, these
reinvestment plans can be very powerful long-term investments. Studies have shown that DRIP's are one of
the best strategies on Wall Street.
They are inexpensive and easy to start. New investors to the stock market should definitely consider a DRIP Plan.
Companies like Toyota, Royal Canadian Bank, Sony, Bank of America, General Electric and many other Blue Chip
Stocks can be purchased through your DRIP Plan, with as little as 1 share in most cases.
These long-term plans are great for beginners as well as veterans. Check them out.
Best of Luck |

When you first start investing/gambling, only use the amount of money you can lose. Start small and get a good feel for it before plunging in. Read and learn as much as possible about investing and pay attention to current and world event, worry the downside more than the upside in each trade and you will gradually get the feel of investing in the stock market. It is a tremendous and humbling experience, but a very rewarding one. Good luck...you may be a genius at this..you owe it to yourself to find out. |

That's right: $91 Trillion in derivatives, financed by 1 1/4 trillion dollars of investor assets. That's almost double the total global GDP (approx. $48 Trillion) for JP Morgan alone. Funny money. IOU's. Another $34 Trillion for CitiBank and $32 Trillion for Bank of America, each with $1 1/4 Trillion backing their bets.
And how they got away with it:

As Paul Harvery would say, "And now for the rest of the story." These are very
interesting looking numbers. And very revealing. While it's true that existing
single family home sales were up 2.8% month to month-- they were down 22.9%
year to year. How does that old saw go? Figures don't lie; but liars figure?
