learn how to invest money in the stock market

I use Sharebuilder. It automatically invests for me every two weeks.

I use ETF’s, specifically S&P 500 (“SPY”).

You have to be for the long haul; think 20 years.

Hope this helps.

I found someone who might be able to help me learn to do this. Plus, with the market being as “down” as it is, I might be able to afford some potentially successful stocks. Who knows!

I signed up with ING direct share builder!!! It is a pretty simple site. I have done a little bit of research and have decided to go with drips…..I’ve bought in SP 500, Merrill Lynch, Genetech, and Petrobas!!!!! YAY I’m so excited!!!!!

Okay so I some what understand what it means to invest in the stock market. Correct me if I’m wrong but basically you own part of the company you choose to invest in…....basically when a company goes “Public” it means that they sell parts of their company to the public to get extra cash for the company. If that company does well and grows financially then your share grows…....Well thats the basics I think…..

Stock market is so complicated. I really want to understand it!!!

After consulting with someone who works on Wall Street, I learned that buying and selling stock straight up is very risky. This is not to say that learning how to do so isn’t worthwhile! I may decide later I want to do this again, but for now, I’m looking at some more conservative investment opportunities.

Highly recomend this class…. Started with $1000 in E-Trade and have made about $300 in a couple of months on my picks.. Lost about $65 but hey….Made more than I lost and I’m still going

my father is a CPA and CFO of a company—he first introduced me to the stock market and I instantly took to it!! start looking through the stocks, and you’ll soon be a millionare!

Maybe a class or workshop that teaches me how to read the stock section of the newspaper and make sense out of it. I would also like to know the rules and process of buying stock. I’ve been keeping an eye on the community ed classes and other continuing ed bulletins in my area and nothing of this description seems to appear. I don’t want someone to pick stocks or mutual funds for me. I want to do the research and play. It would be a hands-on experience learning to read the stock section of the newspaper, where I might pretend to choose a stock and watch it to see what it does, go through the “motions” of buying and selling, etc. I’d really like to be in the presence of another person who has done this (vs. a book or online course), because I like to play with concepts to understand things in different ways.

I need to find a source that is informative and non bias. I checked Borders Books for books with information Stock Trading, haven’t really learnt any yet
