Keys to making a fortune in the market.
1. Long-term (30-40 yrs). Even a 100 bucks a month will grow in to a small fortune with this timeline.
2. Buy quality stocks with good dividends and history of raising them every year. (JNJ and BAC top the list).
3. Reinvest dividends. Even a 100 bucks a month will grow in to a small fortune with this timeline.
4. Market corrections are like a HUGE SALE at your fav store!!! BUY BUY BUY quality blue chip/dividend paying stocks on sale.
5. The most important rule. Don't watch the news on how the market is doing. Ignorant people bash the stock market all time even when its going great. They call it a "suckers game" among other things. The last 70 yrs will prove to them that they are a bunch of retards. These are the same people who will be at Walmart (WMT) working in their 60s and 70s while you will be at the beach ordering another drink. |

Anytime is a good time if you know what you are doing. However, investing in "individual" stocks is always difficult to do regardless of whether the markets are up or down if you have no knowledge of how the markets work.
Biggest piece of advice is start slow and read then read some more. There are plenty of free quality resources on the net but just do not start throwing money into the market if you are just guessing. Because you will be burned by the professionals on Wall Street who love to take the money of uninformed investors. |

Worst time to put a pile of money in the market: When the 7/11 clerks are giving you stock tips
Best time to put a pile of money in the market: When everyone and their goat is screaming towards the exit....and when CNBC starts having Great Depression comparisons
In other words...YES, the time is NOW! this may not be bottom but its an overdone correction due to housing / mortgage problems. |

Absolutely. This is an ideal buying opportunity. If I wasn't fully invested already, I'd be buying today!
Look to mutual funds like the Total Stock Market or S&P 500 - both are likely to bounce back well from the bottom. Be prepared that we may not be at the bottom yet; that's OK. You can never buy at the bottom or sell at the top.
I'd avoid most sector funds, and international at the moment, until we see where the world is headed. |

Personally I would wait a little while to see where the market goes from here.
There's an old axiom among investors 'don't try to catch a falling knife' at the moment the market is in something like freefall, and probably a lot of investors are sitting on the sidelines waiting for good news before they get back in--which causes stocks to fall further because there are fewer buyers.
Still there are likely to be some great deals out there popping up soon-- you can now get Apple at pre iphone prices, and if things continue like this for very much longer, maybe for under $100. |

Waiting

No, I got into the market 2 months ago. I'm burned up now.
I would wait until it really gets steady, Watch out for the recession possibility |

Deafman, what is your problem?
...To your question,
No. Not the stock market just yet. It is too volatile right now.
The mortgage market has it all messed-up for the time being.
Get yourself a CD in the meantime. Find a good mutual fund when it bottoms out unless you are prepared to put the time in to learn how to invest on your own.
Sirius and XM Satellite Radio will merge within a short time provided the FCC and DOJ approve. I know they will. If you have a few thousand dollars you can afford to lose, get yourself a few shares of Sirius at $2.85 a share. After the merger, this low price will be long gone.
This is not contraindicative becasue I am talking about just two specific stocks in a very large market. Whatever the market does, the merger will cause a nice jump in this stock if you buy close to the current price.
Researching these companies to determine the probability of their merger is an excellent starting point for learning how to invest because it will cause you to evaluate information very early in your learning.
Good luck.
Do this only if you can afford to lose it in case I am wrong. |
