I have only been buying and trading stocks for a month come September the fourth. I write this up on Sept. 1. Today was a very bad day for all my stocks with many taking a major hit. I do not pretend to know much about what I am doing but I have made a few hundred dollars my first month and I think I have learned a little. Since I am writing for those like me who have little to no idea what they are doing in investing in and buying and selling stocks, people who may only be a few days behind me in their stock trading career, I am going to be bold enough to pass along what I think I have learned to date. When the market is bad as it is now one needs to be attentive to the points I am making.
(1) Don’t get greedy. If you have made a little money on a stock sell it. Yes, you may leave a nice sum of money you could have had had you kept the stock and it continued its upward rise but the old saying that a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush has merit and will not serve you wrong in the long run. Greed leads to gambling and no gambler is going to win in the long run. There is no one living who can tell you how high a stock will go or when. If it is up enough to make a little money sell it and put the money in your account. Continue reading ‘Beginning Online Stock Trading – Surviving a Bad Market’ »

You’ve saved some money and you want to invest it in the stock market. You’ll first need to understand some stock market investing basics.
1) First and foremost the stock market is just a vehicle for achieving your financial dreams. You can use it to create an income to live on (great for those with no job such as the unemployed and retired), or you can use it to grow your money for some future expense such as your child’s college, your dream home, or even for your retirement.
2) Whichever way you choose to invest you’ll need a basic understanding of how stock market investing works. In the rawest sense, you are basically buying an ownership interest in a company. If that company does well so do you (and vice versa). When you buy a share you become a shareholder and are entitled to share in the profits (through dividends if the company pays them) and attend shareholder meetings where you can vote on company matters and be heard.

Whenever anybody asks me for advice on learning about the stock market I immediately ask if they’ve read How to Make Money in Stocks by William O’Neil. In my opinion, if you read only one book on investing it should be this one. I credit this book with changing my whole approach to investing. Before I read it I had no idea how to use stock charts or even what to look for in a company’s fundamentals. O’Neil teaches that and much more in the book.
The book begins with an explanation of O’Neil’s CANSLIM methodology. In short CANSLIM is the result of O’Neil’s study of some of the greatest winning stocks in the history of the market. CANSLIM is an acronym, and each letter represents one of the seven characteristics that O’Neil found that those great winning stocks had in common.
