Stock Market Investing 101

By Mike Swanson

For those that are just starting out stock market investing can be intimidating and confusing. Some individuals think that investing on the stock market is too risky, but if you know what you are doing then it is an excellent place to find solid investments opportunities.

In order to do well with stock market investing you need to understand how the stock market works. As with anything you need to educate yourself to the stock market and the different cycles that occur. What occurs during a recession and how can you benefit from this, how to invest during prosperous times and more.

To learn about stock market investing you can take a class or seminar, read about stocks in the newspaper or magazine and look at financial sites online. To be successful you need to set realistic goals and implement a good stick picking strategy.

Before you purchase any stock you should research it careful. Each company will have annual reports that are available to the public. The Securities and Exchange Commission will also have information on each company and its stock. If you are very familiar with a specific industry or company then it is always advisable that you invest in things that you know.

Any investment broker will tell you that it is important to diversify and make sure you have stocks from several different industries. You don't want to put all of your money in one stock or in one industry. Make sure you spread your money out as this will minimize any lose you may have.

One way in which you can save yourself a few dollars is by doing your own investing instead of going through a company and broker. Whenever you make a trade and investment broker will take a commission for that trade. By doing your own you save on that commission fee. It is also recommended that you invest in some long term investments as it is those long term investments that can really rake in the cash. Long term investments also have different tax rates then short term. If you are willing to do long term investment then you can wait out and be successful even when a recession hits. - 23223
