Should i pull my money out of the stock market?
I have 4,500 $ invested evenly between Microsoft(MSFT), Intuitive Surgical(ISRG), Sun Microsystems(JAVA), and Sadia(SGA) stock. I just started the stock market and opened an account on 4 days ago(thursday) and at first i lost 55.60 $! But now, the stocks have gone up so now i am only -6.51 $. I am really new to this and all i have done is lost money, and all the stock charts look like they are red one day, and green the next, its like if it goes up one day, you will lose the next so i dont get the point. Should i pull my money out right now? I check the stocks obsessively every 3 hours.

Nick, you appear to be on your way to becoming a victim to discount brokerage houses. Yes, everyone can trade but No, not everyone should trade especially in this market.

Briefly, you buy a stock only if you believe it is undervalued and with the hope that the rest of the market will realize this and revalue the stock higher in the near future. You make the assessment of a stock being undervalued based on what is called fundamental analysis. That means, the the corporations is run effectively, their market is large and growing rapidly, and they have a dominant competitive advantage.
Today, the stock market is such that no one pays much attention to fundamentals which results in very, very high volatility. So, you do not know whether your stock is underpriced or overpriced.

Once you check out the fundamentals of the stock, feel free to invest based on patterns. However, if the fundamentals are either not there or you are having a hard time determining whether they are good or bad, you are more likely to loose money trading based on patterns ... because the patterns will not hold - there is no statistical basis for them to hold.

Good luck to you.

SGA is saga communications
Sadia is SDA
those Brazilian stocks look interesting
it could very well be the place to be
too bad you didn't buy ISRG 4 years ago when it was $10/ share
you should learn more about the stock market before investing
maybe get yourself a couple of GOOD books
and figure out in your head what kind of strategy is right for you

If everyday (not to mention intraday) variations are going to stress you out, you definitely don't belong in the stock market. Did you really expect that stocks only go up?

Unless you're a day-trader (in which case, I can't help you), investing requires patience. You can't expect too much too fast. It may take a pretty long time to see sizeable gains, perhaps a few months or more. Don't get down over a small loss over a 4 day period. Now's when you find out if you really have the stomach for trading or not, especially in light of how turbulent the market has been. It's easy to invest when stocks are all going up, like the last few years have been. If you're looking for quick money, you're going to find it harder to make in the current market, though it's still very possible. My advice: give it time. I wouldn't dump a stock unless some God-awful news sends it plummeting and you don't expect it to recover for a few years.

you bet ye, you can always go back in if the market gets 5000 points higher.

Yes. (If you don't want to lose $45.00)
No. (If you want to lose $450.00)

You really need to decide how much money do you want to lose.

If you don't want to lose $45.00 then go back to your bank account and make $250.00 annually.

On the other hand, if you want to make $1,800 annually then contact me. I will help you for FREE. (I am a Portfolio Manager with over a decade of experience)

It depends on when you need the money. If you dont need the money right now, then let it sit in the market. In the short run stocks can experience major shocks, and in the long run, the trend usually is upward.

If you will need the money soon, then pull it out, because the market has been very volitale.

no you need to put more in Microsoft.

bad timing on ISRG, but long run should be fine (4-5 yrs)..

Get rid of Java and buy a financial stock (GS, JPM) when they pull back more.

put money in Visa after it pull back to 50's
