How do you make money from the stock market?
You can buy and sell stocks through an online broker (E-Trade, TDAmeritrade, Scottrade). A company's stock does not always reflect the performance of the company itself, and vice versa. If you buy stock and the company's stock price drops, it can keep going down, but you only lose everything you invested. Let's say the stock price for Yahoo is $40.00 per share. If you buy $1000 worth of Yahoo stock and the stock drops to $0.00, you only lose the $1,000 you invested. There is a strategy where you can make money when the stock price goes down; it's called short selling. You essentially sell shares you don't own, and buy back hoping the price goes down and make a profit. If you short sell and the price goes up, you can owe an infinite amount of money (depending on how high the price goes). Beginners should not short sell. Focus on buying quality stocks.
I want to start investing money in the stock market. What should I do?
I'm 19 years old, and I want to start investing in the stock market. How much money can I make over the next years if I'm good with buying and selling stocks..? I am ready to invest $100 as soon as I can and then build off the next weeks when I get paid up to $1000. What should I do first, and where do I go first??? I am confused on how to start investing.
How do I earn $30,000 in the stock Market with only $1000 in 12 months? Can it be done?
Well, it is possible. Extremely risky though. You want to look for volatility in cheap stocks. Obviously you want to buy low sell high, or sell high buy low. Watch a couple of stocks closely and learn everything you can about them. Be checking them every single day multiple times a day. There are websites that alert people via their newsletter about a stock (usually penny stocks) to buy. The email (a couple times a month) typically says something like this: "We have a hot stock, we will release the details tomorrow at 9am" And then it gives a bunch bogus fake information on why you should buy it. What they do is basically a pump and dump. The next morning they announce the "hot stock" (which they already have shares of). People believe the BS and start to buy. You want to wait until the stock hits the peak then you short it because i've noticed the price always goes back down within a few days. Boom, you just shorted a stock and made 5-20% in one trade.
How do I make a monthly income using the stock market?
Ok, the art of making money on the stock market is usually called Trading. this involves opening a stock position (buying) and then closing the position if it rises in value. The first thing i would do is place that 1000 in a high interest savings account and start adding to it. If you want to be successful trading stock, you will probably need more like 20,000 to start. Especially to make enough more then a couple of bucks a month. Second you must start reading and learning about stock trading. like any profession it takes lots of education and practice to be successful. (dont believe the hype that you can make money easily, Remember that when one person makes money, someone else has lost Money.) Also practice with a demo account if too. (demo accounts use fake money to trade positions, you dont make anything with these accounts, but you also dont lose. Finally come up with a system, Trading rules. and Learn to trade mechanically. that limits the emotional decisions you can make, emotion is a traders worst enemy, it loses money like no other issue.
