amm 23 | The stock market? |
Hello, my name is Mario. Currently I am a student and at the age of sixteen. I was very interested in investing in the stock market and was wondering if anyone cuold lend a few helping words. I belive that I know a little about how the entire game is run, however I am a serious occupant and would appreciate the help in a whole. The most important thing that I can say I do know is buy low and sell high. As well, only invest in what one knows. I would highly appreciate your time and help. Thankyou, Mario. |

Hi Mario,
Since you are still very young, Invest in quality stocks for long-term and don’t depend on stock trading too much. Time is on your side! So don't rush as yet.
Holding quality stock is like owning an excellent company; with hardworking employees struggle to generate income as much as possible for you. While stock trading is good for short term investment period, it will cost you much in transaction cost in the long-run.
to pick this kind of stock, look stocks that able to perform 15% ROE and 15% EPSGR (just for example) at least for the past 10 years. you'll be amazed on how much junk stocks are in the stock market by just applying this method.
high in ROE show that the company is working really hard to satisfy its investors. as much as possible, they'll meet the target set before and able to return some of the profit to its investors. this can be either in dividend or bonus issues.
high in EPSGR means the company able to grow in a growing industry. higher growth than the industry average shows that their product or services is widely acceptable to customer, another comparison that you need to do.

Do you also know that many US brokerages, such as Etrade (www.etrade.com) require you to be 18 to open a brokerage account?
So what you can do is ask your parents to open an account for you. One example is a Custodial account:
Your parents will control the account until you turn 18 or 21.
However, maybe you can tell your parents to invest for you.
In general, since you are young, you can take a lot more risk. So you can invest in a single stock (but not a penny stock!!) or an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) such as "EEM", which represents the International Emerging Markets such as Taiwan, Korea, China, Mexico, Brazil, India, Russia.
Learn more about investments. You can start reading books such as "Investing for Dummies" by Eric Tyson.
Ideally, get your parents involved. You can research stocks together. A good stock to research would be stocks you already know. Do you like McDonalds? maybe you can invest in "MCD". Do you like Games? Then consider Gamestop (GME). Of course, don't just buy it because you use the product. This is just a starting point. Research the stock!
Since you don't have that much money, just invest in one stock (or ETF) and just see how it goes up and down, and how what you do (for example, buy more Big macs) affects the companies bottom line.
Also, watch "Mad Money" on CNBC hosted by former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer. Lots of those in Generation Y like him. He may sound a bit crazy on the show, but in reality, he as a very good hedge fund manager before he did the Mad Money show.
Good luck!
(realistic market return: 10% per year over a long time. Of course, you can lose 40% in a year, or gain 40% of a year. If you hold an individual stock, the stock will be more volatile. Don't be surprised if you go on a rollercoaster ride.) |

Tip: Don't hold stocks...and be a sitting duck!
Now you have absorbed that..the market at present is becoming difficult because it is volatile.
How would you like to lose money..like 20% of your money?
Not likely! This is the prediction that it could fall by that much.
What goes up must come down..people like to take profits
and so they sell...and youy must learn to sell as well.
Many people HOLD...get used to the idea of the market
as a short term opportunity...not long term.
Buying is not where you make money...it's the selling
that's important.
In order for you to make some money you have to educate yourself.
You are going up against ther BEST in the world when you put your money in the market..and they will take your money..if you
let them!
Start your research..do courses and read books on your
business.
Don't rush it! Plenty of time for you to make
a profit.
Wait until the markets have a 20% drop
then back in..excellent!
Learn while you're waiting:
Using Options
..less money...full control..great leverage..
$1 controls $10 worth...so you can multiply profits and losses.
Imagine holding $100 000 worth of stock with $5000!!!
It is now possible...by using options. |

http://www.invest-for-retirement.com will teach you a lot more than "buy low and sell high". It will teach you why this motto is useless because you cannot know when the market will be low or high. |
