neo_drkefka | Investing in Stocks? |
I phrased a previous question wrong on here but it did raise some interesting points from various people about the subject or question.
I have a new one. Say a normal Joe such as myself has some extra money and I want to use it to invest in stocks or companies. How does someone like me invest? How much do I need to have to invest? Is their a minimum? Does a normal Joe such as myself need to take any classes or anything just to put my money into something or can I freely do this?
How would I go about doing this? How much could good investments earn me in a long run. Any tips or advice? |

My 2 cents ... this is advice for the non-investor, and ANYONE can do this!
Open an acct with an online broker that charges less then 10$ a trade. Buy shares of the S&P 500 (SPY). As long as you can buy 7 shares at a time you're transaction cost will be less then 1%.
The SPY will beat 80% of mutual funds with the super low expense fee of 0.10% which nobody can beat.
It isn't sexy to buy so few shares at a time but do it a few times a year and watch and see what happens in 10-20 years.
The days the market goes down and everyone says the world is ending ... that is the day to buy. |

I think that if you are uneducated in how stocks work that you should use a broker for a while and study what advice they give you. I was thinking of doing some investing for a few years and have been too stubborn to consult a broker, but I have done a good deal of research. I did also have a teacher in the 5th grade who had us learn about this crap, so I actually somehow remembered the basics. Yeah, sounds stupid, whatever, but I'm also assuming that you are still younger then 40, or 30, like myself. Since you are just starting off, you need to buy a cheaper stock and read about it. For example, clean energy stock will most likely not fail over the next decade or who knows. With all the environmental changes we are having, and emission limits, I think they will recover after an overall slight loss. There is one company I have read about and is pretty cheap that is currently doing a good deal of expansion internationally. Pretty much opening new plants for the production of a wood(recycled) based fuel for industrial consumption. Ask me about it if you are interested because most companies are looking into automotive and home energy solutions. Remember this should be just a part of the stock you invest in. If you just buy one type of service or product of a stock and it fails, all your money gone!
The amount you invest in the stocks you pick depends on what kind of risk you are looking for, logically. Since you are stating you want to make a long run investment, you are clearly not looking to just throw the money away. Talk to an expert or teach yourself what to look for. Also, watch out, word of mouth is a killer. If you select stock on your own make sure the product has potential by learning everything about it and how its managed. That is how an average joe makes his money. Unless he knows Gordon Gekko. |

There is no minimum amount that needs to be invested, but it is easier to make money the more you invest. If you have less than a couple thousand dollars, you will have to buy a stock that preforms exceptionally well (gain several dollars a share) just to recover the cost of the trades to buy and sell it. If you are dealing with millions of dollars a stock can go up 2 cents a share and you can make a profit. There is no school necessary, but is is a good idea to learn as much as you can by watching shows like Jim Crammer's Mad Money and studying the information provided for free through most on-line brokerages and yahoo finance. If you want to "day trade" you should get set up with a margin account and plan on dedicating at least two hours a day to studying the market. If you don't do the homework you will get burned. |

Watch CNBC; listen and learn. Put some money into a no-load mutual fund such as Vanguard. You'll need one thousand dollars to start. Keep some money in cash. Watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money on CNBC 5 days a week. After observing and taking notes for a while, you'll learn a lot. |

Speak to your stock broker, you need a hell of a lot of advice about things like this.
Remember if you don't have the time or the effort there is nothing wrong with giving your money over to a brokerage house too invest it for you |

Go to TDAmeritrade.com and they will walk you right through setting up an account.
Once you have your account funded, you can buy whichever stock you want. Try buying a no-load mutual fund.
Read some books, the library is the single most useful thing you can use, and it's free. Read as much as you can. The smart people NEVER graduate.
Happy Holidays |
