sam.trask@btinternet... | How does one become a stock market trader? |
I work full time in a reasonably well paid job, but I have always had an interest in making money on the stock market. The problem is I know nothing about it. I have seen loads of software available on the internet that supposedly allows you to trade directly on makets but i cant help thinking that they are just scams. |

It is pretty easy to become a stock market trader. The problem is being a good one. You have to know the market better than most other investors. And there are a lot of people out there doing everything they can to figure out how to beat the market.
I really like this free web-site http:www.top10traders.com - it lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. It ranks all the traders who have created a portfolio, and shows you who is beating the market right now. It is a great way to get investing ideas. Traders can post their investing thoughts and read posts from other traders. Here are this months best traders:

I would also do everything you can to understand value investing. This site is a good introduction:

Good luck! |

There are two ways.
The dumb way is to get yourself an online trading account, put your own money in, and "churn and burn" your way through a pile of cash buying and selling without any real knowledge of what you're doing.
The smart way is to work for an investment company, and get other people to give you their hard-earned money. Your company takes 1% up front, you go to lunch with company directors and get little hints of what's hot and what's not (nothing illegal, just a nod and a wink), you invest this money without fear (because it's not yours), and if you're reasonably lucky the investments do well and you get paid a big fat bonus at Christmas.
There's an old saying that if you don't know who the fool in the market is, then it's you. You hear the odd story of individuals who make fortunes day trading on their own account: but then, if you set 64,000 people tossing coins, then the odds are that ONE of them would throw heads 16 times in a row. |

Educate yourself first with some good books; see my Amazon list of the best stock trading books. Stay away from those software deals. Any good on line brokerage offers all the software you need to "trade directly on markets" at a minimal price. I recommend ScotTrade.
Here's my amazon list:

You can't trade "directly" on the market. But there are several fairly cheap sites out there where you can open an account and buy and sell stock. Some examples... Ameritrade.com, ETrade.com, etc.
As for know what to buy and sell...order a subscription to the Wall Street Journal and read it daily. It is THE source. Also peruse Fool.com. A GREAT website for stock info.
Good Luck! |
