Jamaal E | Interested in stocks but not sure about the return? |
Hey guys,
A little about myself. I'm 21, college student working part time for a real estate company as a web developer and was looking into other money solutions and I thought about Stocks. Though I'm financially stable right now, I'm still not the biggest on money (and jargon) so I don't even know how to look at stocks. Dont know what bonds are, and I dont know how to get started, but I'd like to invest if all possible.
Truthfully, I'm not looking for a "get rich quick program" or anything but I want to maximize my dollar so I can fund something else like my music and other things I'm getting into. I dont make much right now, but I currently can do that on my check and if all possible, and if stocks are the way to make a decent return, then I'll pay for them. But what will I get back? When will I get it back? Am I in the right position to properly invest in things like this? |

i love the stock market if its going up or down ...
if you use $5000 & buy 500 shares @ $10/share & it goes to $11 than you just made 10% thats $500 &this happens all day everyday!!!
or if you think a stock will go don in value just "short" the stock so when the price goes down in value u make money!
once you sell you can withdraw your money in about 3-6days depending on your broker & how fast it takes for your fund to clear
but 1st you need to take acouple months to do alotttttt of research about the market & how stocks really work & find some stocks to watch to see how they move..read about any news that might help or hurt the stock & test your knowledge
open a practice account & practice trading/investing with play money
you can study, get examples, & open a practice account all at
www.investopedia.com
even if your good at your practice account remember investing with your REAL MONEY is alot different because emotions get involved
GOOD LUCK |

If you can afford to set aside a couple hundred a month, I see no reason why you can't get into the stock market. I would suggest reading a few books on investing before you put any money into it though. From personal experience, I like the Peter Lynch books. I have also heard great things about the Investing for Dummies series and the Motley Fool series. Of course, there are many more publications to look into.
Virtual stock exchanges are also very useful tools for learning the basics of how the stock market works (and a lot of fun too). They give you a starting amount of "money" and you invest it as you would like. Obviously you won't see any real financial returns, but they are still very useful.
As far as actually fattening your wallet, some stocks pay dividends every year, which is a sort of thank you for supporting their company. This amount and practice varies from company to company, so you'll have to look into that. Overall though, you'll make most of your money holding onto a stock until you feel you want to sell it for a profit (well, hopefully for a profit!).
If you're not interested in going through all the trouble of picking stocks on your own, mutual funds are great. Mutual funds will invest your money for you, basically picking stocks so you don't have to. You'll want to find mutual funds that have a history of beating the stock market.
I hope that was helpful.

If you're going to invest in stocks, then you don't have to worry about bonds. You can learn about those later.
Stocks: When you buy stock, you are buying ownership of a company. If one person owns all the stock, they literally own the company.
For us small investors, we're interested in two things:
1) Gains
2) Dividends
Gains: If you buy something for $10 and sell it later for $40, you made money.
You have "a $30 gain".
Dividends: If the company is making profits, it can share them with the stockholders. These profits are paid out in cash every three months, regardless of the stock price.
Now, here are a couple rules to follow:
1) Only invest with money you can afford to lose.
2) Only invest with money you can afford to keep locked up for 7 years or more.
3) Using money for debt repayment is better than buying stocks.
That includes credit cards, car loans, and student loans. Once you're debt-free, you'll have plenty of money to invest with. |

I think don't come in this line.
Why ? " Indian stock Market is the Volatile Stock market in the world" Don't wast your time now. think it after a year later
Indian govt. is not couscous about this market. Good Stock market always want a Good Govt. who can help to globalist this market. I think this is enough indication for you. Present stock market is smashed market this is not the perfect time to entry.

for about one year use search engines (like Yahoo, Google, MSN, AOL) and Analise financial magazines, technical, fundamental analysis, and individual stock behavior - also subscribe (free) to alert facility given by search engines. with imagine bet on the stock which you believe will give you better return.
after one year judge yourself how much you gained or lost (in imagination)
then start physical investment in stock.
best of luck. |

I second what John H says. First thing to invest in is education. The books I like are Investing for Dummies and Mutual Funds for Dummies, both by Eric Tyson. |

There are so many people out there who want a fast buck, and think the stock market or tracing will give it to them.
Trading is a professionals full-time game. It requires a lot of experience and deep understanding of financial markets and psychology.
My suggest:
S&P500
Dollar Cost Average each month.
In a Roth IRA.
Wait 5-10 years.
Gains are tax free if held for 5 years and can be used for higher education, certain medical and buying a first home.
Principle can be withdrawn at anytime.
