So... I would've made 3 points today, with considerably "safe" stocks The one I mentioned that had gone up 10% by 10:30 this morning ended up closing at over 54% above opening, and over 300% since Monday!
Anyway... this site is ok And the TSX site is interesting

If you're going to do it by yourself, invest in companies you really know. Ideally, you'd know its inner workings and business prospects.
Also remember all capital gains are taxable, so it's not all weed.Lastly, it's better to diversify your portfolio, and invest in low value stocks. These stocks are the ones that can give you a much higher return margin.For example: if a $50 stock goes up by 1 dollar, you have a 2% return, but if a $0.80 goes up by $0.20, you have a 25% return.

If u are a stock watcher, then you will enjoy day trading but don't forget, this could all change in the next 15 minutes.
You need to pay attention to the news as well and learn what affects what; how and why. All the factors like weather, government, technology, war, peace, sanctions, coups, etc etc.
This is why I haven't really gotten into it. I don't understand how industries affect one another... yet.

Investing in stocks is a bit like gambling. You go and put your money in HOPING to win and try to make educated/calculated investment decisions but they don't always pay out and often it costs you money. I have a coworker who has been making some good return on ONE SPECIFIC stock - not sure which it is, but he's got a great % return on his investment in the last few weeks.

Don't jump in just because it's the in thing to do. It's very risky, depending on the stock and i've know people who have lost all they've invested in a matter of hours.
I for one, am more conservative when it comes to investing money that will give me some kind of return.
But hey, if you end up buying some shares, and you do good, i'll take 5% (peanuts really) just because i posted.
k?
I think I'm relatively conservative when it comes to investing as well, although at a certain age I think you can afford to be a bit more "daring" than say at age 55 Granted, I doubt that if it were REAL money, I wouldn've invested in a couple of the stocks that I had chosen.. however, they were the ones that gave the most return The others just went up a couple of points (maybe 3 combined) which is still VERY good, and SPECIALY when considering that is ALL you would get, PER YEAR, if your money was in the bank

Does anyone invest in the stock market? As in actual stocks?
I dont know much about it, but Im looking into it and trying to learn more about it
Anyway.. I made up a list of stocks that I liked (you can do that on the TSX site) and since Monday (IFFF I would've ACTUALLY invested in/bought the stocks) I would've made 45% return on my investement, since MONDAY!
I wonder if its really THAT easy
anyway... discuss
