how can i learn to trade or to invest on the stock market?
is there any type of class i can take to learn the way to manage an account or to show me how to invest and trade online
There are no classes in the academic world that properly prepares anyone for investing properly.
You will have to educate yourself so start your education by learning why you should invest and the importance of being able to make your own decisions or how the pro’s make theirs.
Here is some reading material that can get you started in the right direction, The first book you should read is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

ONLINE STOCK TRADE COMPANIES which one do you recommend?
Optionhouse charges $4 tradeking charges $5 are the tools from tradeking better? is it worth it which one is better. Is there any other cheaper online broker you can recommend I cant pay 10 for Etrade
In my honest opinion I’d go with TD Ameritrade. If you want a cheap rated broker, use OptionHouse. I think they have better tools, from experience.
Either way, if you are going to start trading, make SURE you get a subscription to a stock pick service. I personally use http://www.stealthtrades.com as they offer the Best Stock Picks. There is nothing better, you’ll make quick profits.

What could it mean when the brokerage house ceases on line trading of a stock?
The brokerage house has red flagge this stock and stopped on line buying of this stock. I can still place an online sell order. The firm said I can still buy it, but it must be broker assist with security information. Well known and respected brokerage firm. They said this venue is just for their firm, that others would allow online buying.
.
I did inquire from the firm, but they were pretty tight lipped. It is professional for them not to give specifics. It may even be illegal for them to give specifics, I do not know. The Bid/Ask is 700X3200 with no movement yet. Very odd indeed.

My first thought was that the symbol has changed and their online data hasn’t caught up with the change yet. Other possibilities are a reverse split, high volatility, or a delisting (perhaps it’s now a pink sheeter or bulletin board?) As others have said, tell us the name/symbol and I think we can get a lot further.

Online Trading Stock Market Review 5/7/10

When do I start getting money from stocks?
I want to learn about how stocks work in general. Where do I go to buy stocks? Where do I go to get the money I earn? Where do I deposit the money? When can I withdraw or get money from my stocks? Any other useful info and experience you’ve had. How risky are stocks? Do most people gain money or lose money?
They are right you start by opening a Brokerage account. The most popular choice for beginning investors is to go with an online account at a discount brokerage such as Scottrade.com (that’s what I use) or etrade, etc. etrade is $10 trades which is very expensive (in my opinion) compared to Scottrade at $7. I haven’t really found any other reliable brokerages that are cheaper than Scottrade. I chose Scottrade bc it is the cheapest and does exactly what I need it to do. I don’t need help from brokers on what stocks to buy or when to buy, I just need a method of purchasing/selling stocks. Some might feel at home with other brokerages that provide more support or help from brokers though. (they will also pay more). You can deposit to Scottrade over the internet, you can use a service called “MoneyDirect” which just allows you to make electronic deposits from your bank account. After you have the money deposited onto your Scottrade acct u have funds available to buy stocks. If you buy a stock it is up to you when to sell it. You can sell it after a year or hold it for 30 years if you want to. But remember that, until you sell the stock, your money is at risk. As soon as you sell the stock, you get the money for it back to your Scottrade acct. The company could go out of business the next day but you would still have the money since you sold just in time. You can request a check to be sent to you from Scottrade when you want to withdraw money from your acct. This can take a few days but it’s usually about 1-2 days. My inclination is to say that it’s logical to assume that most people actually do make money from the stock market. If someone is consistently losing all of their money in the stock market, it seems like they would eventually stop trading on it, and most traders left over will be those who are making profit. Those who lose money are the ones who are dreaming of being “instant millionaires” by trading on the stock market. It takes a lot of work and research to play the market. You should not aspire to be an instant millionaire, and you should attempt to limit risk by choosing companies you know for sure are going to be successful. Never invest in a company you do not understand, never invest in one because someone tells you it’s bound to become “huge”, at least not until you have studied it yourself and determined that it is truly a good company. My post implies this, but I’ll go out and say it anyway: Do not invest in penny stocks. You need to look for solid companies that are worth more than they are selling for. And don’t risk money on companies you are not sure about.

(ESLR) How to Make Money Trading Stocks

How does one make money on the stock market?
I hear people talk about good investments, great stocks, investing in the “global econonmy”, and it sounds so good, but what does it mean and how does an everyday person do it
There are several companies’ shares available in the market. Many are promising and some others are not that much profitable. How will you choose the best company shares in order to earn maximum profits? Well, it’s a million dollar question, but the answer is quite simple. Until and unless you get familiar with the stock market, you cannot find the answer to the million-dollar question. Yes, market knowledge is a must for all who are planning to invest in stocks.
The good news is that Internet based trading is very simple and hassle free. Anyone can invest in stocks at any point of time. There is no lock-in period and constraints unlike other investment options available in the market. However, in this kind of investment, you need to do some groundwork. Initially, if you plan well and gain adequate knowledge about the functioning of the stock market, you can definitely reap the benefits from your investment.
Once you are finished with the initial groundwork, you can find the answer of that million-dollar question. When a company issues public shares in the market – you buy some shares, for example 100 shares at the rate of $10 each. Now, what are the factors that would influence in raising the share price? First of all, it is important to know why a particular company issues public shares – the main aim of issuing shares is to collect funds for the expansion of the company or to pay the debt, if any. And as the company grows, the share prices also go up accordingly.
On the other hand, if you buy a company share and in few days, the share prices go down, it means, the company growth curve is declining. Therefore, expert professionals always suggest investors to keep an eye on major company shares. Even if you don’t have any idea about a company – you can access information about a company, its growth curve and the previous market reputation. However, many professionals also suggest buying small-scale company shares for maximum profit. So, whenever, you decide to buy a particular company share – take out all the information about the company profile and other valuable information. After the analysis if you think that a particular company share price would rise, buy those shares.
What are the other factors that influence the trading process? Well, the stock trading company’s website, your stockbroker and finally your decision making capability directly influence the whole trading process. So, it is always better to do some rigorous market research on the Internet and then pick the best choice. If your fundamentals are clear, you can definitely gain maximum profits from your investment. So, it is better to do some groundwork and then trade rather than directly jump into the market.
Now, it is evident that professionals who are making profits from the same market have done all the primary work needed before trading So, if you are a new investor and want to earn profits in a short time period – do the primary work first, take advice from financial experts and then start trading online. Save money and build a strong financial backup and support your family in a better and efficient way.

How to get involved in stock investing?
I’m a seventeen year old, and want to get involved in stock trading. Partly for the experience, partly because I’m looking to make money every chance I get, and I’m well aware that stock trading is a great way to make money, provided you know what you’re doing. But that’s the thing, I know the theory and basics of stock trading, but I’m not sure I have enough know-how to trade effectively and successfully. I know stock trading is a risk all the time, but I’m just afraid I’d be making too big of a risk, especially considering my limited experience. Suggestions? I’ve heard of Mutual Funds as a way to let experts trade for you, but I’m pretty skeptical of that prospect to be honest.
An introductory book like _Stock Markets for Dummies_ is a good place to start.
Investors Business Daily (IBD) is a solid daily resource (and its complement, www.investors.com ). It’s a better newspaper than the Wall Street Journal and it is built around a particular approach to trading. You could read _How to Make Money in Stocks_ by William O’Neil too–he’s the founder of IBD.
Search your local library for other books on stock investing. Try to absorb as much knowledge and understanding as you can. Eventually, you should open a brokerage account and paper trade for a while–this is practice (not real money), which you should do extensively before you put any real money at risk.
Stock Market Basics: How the New York Stock Exchange Works – Tutorial Cartoon (1952)

What is the difference between a stock and a share?
As far as I can understand a stock and a share may have the same meaning. How can they be distinguished from one another when used? How can I understand when a stock means a share or it means all shares equaled to capitalization of a company. How to understand a sentnce – What do you get when you own a stock? What stock is meant here?
Ok, basically stocks are grouped together and called stocks because each “stock” is a portion you own of a certain company.
The shares are what make up each stock.
So say you own five stocks, and each stock you have twenty shares.
- Company one = 20 shares
- Company two = 20 shares
…etc.

stock trading for beginners?
there is a web site where i can do on line trading.but u cant make money off it its to learn about the trade market does any one know the name.
Yes, the best way to practice is through a simulator account where you make trades as if they were real, the difference is that any losses are not real. You will quickly find out if you can make money or not and you will get the knowledge and experience you need to ensure that you make money instead of losing money when you begin trading for real.
Some of the best simulators like WSS also run games/competitions so that you can win prizes and make practice trading more interesting.

Trading stocks online. Which stockbrokers are best?
I want to start buying stocks online. Which stock brokers are the best online, what should I look in those companies? I would probably start off with a $1000 investment.
When you look into brokerage firms, you should take into account of minimum investment, inactivity fees, maintenance fees, commission rates, and other additional features. I personally use Firstrade. They require no minimum investment, have no inactivity or maintenance fees, and are $6.95 per trade. They also offer free dividend reinvestment (DRIPs). You should definitely check them out. On the other hand, I would not recommend Sharebuilder. They are NOT $4 per trade. That’s the rate for automatic investments, which are scheduled trades. The rate of real-time trades is actually $9.95. My problem with Scottrade is that they don’t offer DRIPs and I don’t like Schwab either because they are quite expensive. The broker with, by far, the cheapest rates is Zecco. They are 10 free trades per month, but they require an initial investment of $2,500. I would also not recommend them for beginners. Therefore, for me, I would go with Firstrade.

How can you make money in the stock market off of the next big quake to hit Cali or the west coast?
Don’t take this as something so negative. People make money off of weapons companies and other organizations assuming that they will be used. I’m just looking at the obvious eventuality. So what stocks would benefit from severe quake damage on the west coast?
window manufacturers, construction, etc. — just think, what is damaged, and what will need to be rebuilt? most public companies, though, have operations outside california, so business in that state is probably just a small portion of profits.

Also, what is a good stock trading company. I see all these companies like scotttrade and all that, I just want a company that I can buy my stocks from and not have to pay a ton of fees and what not…
Thanks
You buy the stock, the stock price goes up. The fee is the commission set by the broker. It’s usually a flat fee for every trade regardless of the amount. No you just pay the fee once per trade. Go to Scottrade.com. They’re good for professionals and beginners.

Thank You.
Serious Posts only; no sarcasm please…
Well for starters you need a broker. I have Sharebuilders. I use them because there is no min for how much you need to keep in your account like the other brokers sites like scott-trade. It depends on how much you have and how much you want to give to the broker. Ameritrade,scottrade, and the others have cheap comissions but the reqiure a nice $1,000+ account min. I can go on and on but i’ll let someone else tell you more. Email me if your not happy with the other answers and I’ll tell you in full detail. Also go to investopedia.com. they have articles and tutorials about stocks and how to buy and stuff. They also have a stock simulator which you can buy stocks for free. This is a site that will teach you the basics of the Stock market, bonds, and mutual funds. It has articles and tutorials about it all. There is also a stock simulator that you can sign up for. It is free. There you can actually buy and sell stocks as if it were real. I’m doing that along with my real stocks. They are not a real broker. It is just a stock simulator. It is a good way to actually see how to do it. They start you off with a certain amount of money (depending what game you start in) usually in the $100,000+ range and you just buy what ever you want. Be sure to read the tutorials so you know what to expect. The game isn’t really a game but a group of people you join. If anything you compete with others to see how much you all are making but I usually don’t follow what others are doing.
