stocks intere$t!

uh sounds like you aren't in the US or another developed nation, because its as easy as opening a brokerage account with a bank's financial services

you're going to need to provide more information, probably google it yourself since you've got the relevant information in your brain and all

Pick a growth sector. Know it inside and out, then pick the best managed company in that industry. Leverage to the max and go all-in. Anything else is either: a) just a safety net investment b) EXTREMELY hard to make money in.

Stock market is HEAVILY rigged in favor of big money and institutions with insider information. So your best bet is to just ride the general trend and make S&P rate returns for a safety net.You can not win big unless you know an industry so well that you can be considered an expert. I know one guy who "used to" know the energy sector pretty well. And he made like 100k in 1 year by investing on some local coal mining companies. But even he gave up cause he decided it was too much work and he wanted to focus more on his career. Also this was just after the crash when almost any monkey made a return.

yeah dont do it..
the more you research the more you will know is all bullshit

don't invest in stocks. something like 80% of investors are all losers, and the best part is, that most of them believe themselves to be long term winners.

i don't know why the average person thinks they can compete with 40,000 dollar super computers and big firms.

u have to realize that the first 80% of the ppl buying a stock on it's upswing are all institutions. yes u can beat the rest of the 20% who are also average dumbass household investors, but it's a tough game imo.

why not invest in an index like s&p500 or vangaurd? they pay professionals millions of dollars to make the right decisions and you'll average around 7-9% with these.

there is a study done, how the s&p500 has the same rate of long run return as 95% of other institutions including the weighted average of hedgefunds.

thanks for advice, really appreciated

mnj, I'm gonna need a citation. I know there are some numbers that float around saying this or that, but none have actual numbers behind the numbers they "report".

You have to understand the market your going in. Stocks? Futures? Bonds? There's certain players in stocks that don't play in futures, while there are players in forex that don't play in stocks. You have to understand the macrostructure and microstructures. Like someone said earlier, learn a sector, but really, learn all the sectors of all the major stock exchanges in the world, learn the economies, and do a lot of reading. It's a LOT of research you have to do, but if you apply game theory and a little bit of sense, you'll be able to pick tops/bottoms in no time.

Think of bankroll management, how many "trades" you'll allow yourself before you bust. (much like how many buyins at a stake level.)

stocks are good if you're not a moron and you stick with a solid trading plan. problem is it's pretty fuckin hard to trust yourself lol
