Stock Market Trading Systems

Archive for the ‘stock market for dummies’ Category

I’m not sure I understand how our economy works…is there a website or somewhere that will explain it to me in the simplest terms possible?

I’m also not sure if I understand the whole Great Depression thing either…no one’s ever explained it to me in more than "the stock markets crashed"…so same deal, anywhere I can learn about these in the easiest For Dummies way?

I do not know of any websites, but i can recommend three great books, all of which i have read.
For a basic understanding of the economics, I recommend the book i used in my Econ 101 class, it gives simple explanation of the dismal science (you can get it used for 9$) :
http://www.amazon.com/Economics-John-Taylor/dp/0618640851

I also recommend Applied economics, which talks about political policies and economics (you can get it used for 18$), it talks about political policies that lead to economic crisis problems:

http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Economics-Thinking-Beyond-Stage/dp/0465003451/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235835811&sr=8-1

And Third I recommend The Great Crash (You can get it used for 8$), it was written 60 years ago, but it talks about the cause of it (what the author perceives is the root cause), and i think you were looking for root cause as opposed to government solving of the problem:
http://www.amazon.com/Great-Crash-1929-Kenneth-Galbraith/dp/0395859999/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235835819&sr=8-2.

If you can only get 1 I would recommend Applied Economics, because the first one is a textbook and the third is 60 years old, although the third one is VERY relevant to today’s predicament. But if you have the means get all three.

I hope you enjoy them!

I inherited some money from my grandparents and its quite a lot, so i was thinking of stock market. Im not in any rush, and for now i dont want to think of real estate, how can i learn how to invest in stock market?

any good books for dummies like me?

any good website?

any advice?

thanks!

"Investing For Dummies" is a good starter book.

I’m wondering about how the best route would be. I currently am 16 years old (and yes, i know, i need to be 18 to get into the stock market or else have someone older such as a guardian sign, etc.) I have saved up roughly $12,000 that I worked for and at the moment I am making 4% interest compounded monthly which comes to $40/month in interest.

I am looking for a way to make more cash since i cannot get into the stock market yet. I have tried setting up a few small businesses in the past and have come up with some great product ideas, but obviously none of them took off.

I’m pretty much losing my motivation and I don’t know where to invest my money. Working at minimum wage just doesn’t cut it. It’s ridiculous. You cant even buy a 12" subway combo for $8 CAD.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is a possibility in Canada but can you get an adult to open a Custodial Account for you? That way you can invest in the market and the money would stay in your name.
Also don’t discount 4% – that is not a bad rate! And after a little while of compounding you WILL be amazed at how fast it grows! All while you enjoy being 16!

I have $1,000 that I am looking to invest. This is just a part of my lifetime savings but I want to see it grow quicker in the long term. I am just wondering would it be wise to invest in the stock market these days with the way the economy is right now? I have the stock market for dummies book lol and I would play a virtual stock market game before I started investing, but before I even start that would I be wasting my time? Would a fidelity index fund or a vanguard mutual fund be worth my time?
Ok and I’m 18 and a senior in H.S. this is long term.

The best way to invest money is to invest in someone’s existing business. I have invested in my friend’s small business based in Europe and now I am getting guaranteed high returns (over 20% a year). Feel free to email me at pupking@luckymail.com for more details if interested.

I need to learn the rules so I can invest wisely. Online hands on tutorial would be great! I’m hoping for a ‘dummy’ portfolio to test the learnings I’m making as I go, something that would give me gains and loses directly connected to the actual stock market.

Check out Investopedia.com. They have a lot of good investing tools & an investing simulator where you can invest $1oo,ooo in virtual money. You can buy stocks at their present value & your "portfolio" is updated every 20 minutes i believe.

I funded my Roth to the max. My job does not offer 401ks. What can I do next?

I don’t want to go into the Stock Market. Risk is my worst enemy. Where can I go for advice besides "Investing for Dummies" ?

I go to investment websites and all I read is Blah Blah Blah.

(I’m 25 years old, and a single mother, if it helps)

Investing is easy when you invest in America and you can do that with a S&P 500 or total market index fund. Just dollar cost average into the account. You should also consider a simple portfolio of 50% bonds and 50% stock. Both are available through indexes.

Indexing is simple, mimics that market, is low cost, is low taxed, and will solidify your financial future. You need the mindset that these are investments for the future. Don’t worry about the daily changes of 1 or 2 percent that television freaks out about. How often do you freak out when ketchup goes on sale for 2% off?

Read "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books. Big Profits)" by John C. Bogle

i want completley lamens terms. or a site that explains it like that. i need to write a 4 page report on it. i have no idea what stocks are or what, just that America is in debt or something. please help a fella out. think of it as "the economic crisis for dummies". i absolutley have no experience in the stock market. please help.

The global crisis is not just about economy. Its not just about America or stocks. Its because there is a egoistic connection between people. Leaders, economists, bankers, and high positions held around the world are saying that the reason for all that nothing is working anymore is our distrust between one another and our separation. They only thing is they don’t have a way to realize a change for the good of humanity.

All of humanity’s egoistic connection in relation to each other is we all work for the sake of ourselves and not for the benefit of the whole. The crisis is the expression of all of humanity’s disharmony with the growth of the world on a global level and in this growth of humanity we discovering each day that we are interconnected and interdependent of one another. Like cells in one body. The cells being individual people and our body being humanity. The cells are egoistic and care only for themselves and not the well being of the body. And as you see the"body" is unhealthy. For example imagine that your cells and organs in your body behaved the way people do, caring only for itself and not to keep the whole of the body functioning. Sounds like disease or something like cancer, right? Well that’s how humanity’s current state right now and why we experience all the growing negative effects in the world.

So, we should view the crisis as an invitation to change for the better. To heal the body (humanity). If we understand that man’s global egoistic relations between one another is the reason behind the suffering we feel, the global crisis and the bad we see in the world, we could then search for a true method to unite and change our relation between one another to a giving relation. We would be able to rise above the crisis together, everyone in the world. Then we could educate one another of the global integral system we live in and thrive in it lifting the whole of humanity up.

So we have at the end of the day the opportunity of humanity uniting to achieve something higher. Hope the links help answer your question. Good luck on your report……Peace

I just finsihed reading Trading for Dummies and really want to learn more before I start trading in stock options, is there a course I can take online or something like that?

To be successful at trading options in the stock market, you’ll need practice. The best way to get practice is through paper trading, that’s where you follow a stock and pretend you are actually putting trades in and then taking them out, hopefully for a profit.

You can also find books on the subject, like on amazon or barnes and noble. You’ll need a good foundation on the basics. There are also different strategies when it comes to trading options so you’ll need to learn those first as well.

For more advanced ways on how to trade options, there are sites that offer guidance. The advantage with these sites is that they will take you beyond the basics and offer you a better chance at higher returns on your trades.

I’ve listed some sites below that you can check out, they are for information purposes only and not a recommendation. However, you will learn a little more than what you can get from reading books.

http://www.stockoptiontradingsystems.com
http://optionsexpress.stockoptiontradingsystems.com
http://tradeking.stockoptiontradingsystems.com

I think if you start your learning this way, you will be able to succeed in trading options. Others have done it so there’s no reason why you can’t learn how to do it too.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Where can i find information on buy/sell/sell short/buy to cover and order type [limit/market/etc] for stocks? I want to know what these options mean. I’m complete new to stocks. Hopefully a site for dummies like me.
