synapse | Stocks !! I want to give it a try, but not sure how to start? |
I want to personally set aside a few dollars and give the stock market a try, but I have absolutely no idea how it works, or where to start? Does it have anything to do with Mutual Funds?
I want to stay away from Mutual Funds .. heard some bad rumours about them.
I know I will be buying company stocks at a low and selling them at a high. But when/how do I buy and when/how do I sell?
So yeah !! Where do I start?
Thanks. |

Before actually investing, I would suggest spending some time paper trading stocks. Try a few different ideas and strategies.
Yahoo finance allows you to create your own portfolios so you can watch how the stocks are doing, but I would suggest something like Marketocracy or Clearstation, because they would force you to do enter your buys and sells similar to what you might need to do with a stock broker:
http://www.marketocracy.com
http://clearstation.etrade.com
Here are a couple of good book lists on Amazon:

I think the best way to start investing is to first study what the best traders are buying and selling. Then hopefully you can use this knowledge to improve your investing returns. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.
Here are this month's best traders:

Good luck! |

Read a beginners book about stock investing.
Browse a few sites such as the Motley Fool, reading the basic education stuff.
Open an account with a discount broker. I recommend Scottrade. |

Dear friend, if you really want to save money then keep it in the liquid format.... keep cash or in the form of buying some government secuties. Mutual funds as well as stocks all are frauds..... if you are not aware of market trend then its better to stay awam |

Your info about mutual funds is completely wrong. Never invest in single stocks (companies). One lawsuit or bad product and you are broke. Ask the people who lost everything in the 90's with the dot com bust.
Mutual funds are like putting your money in a savings accout that averages 10% return, while investing in stocks is like going to Vegas and playing Blackjack. Sure you can win big in Vegas, but you can lose you ***, too. Mutual funds have averaged about a 10% return on investment over the last seventy years. I have funds in my 401K that have been around since 1931, and have averaged 14% ROI over that entire period.
Mutual funds are the boring tortoise, while stocks are the hares. Remember who won the race?
If you want REAL advice about investing, go to daveramsey.com. There's too much to explain about investing here, but the first thing you need to do is a 401k if your company matches the investment. That gives you a 100% return right there. If they don't match contributions, get a Roth IRA instead.
Investing $25 a week in mutual funds from age 25 to 65 will give you $4 million at retirement. (almost guaranteed) |
