invested in stocks today

yeah i have invested in stable company, but they are real slow movers.
returns is not that great. invested like $4500 in them.

 

do you plan on short selling it or what?

 

I think he's going long.

 

Sir use tradeking.com or sogoinvest.com - its only 5$ a trade market or limit order. THERE ARE NO OTHER FEES. I am 100% sure - i have been using tradeking for 2 years now. Its awesome.

 

Scottrade is also nice, they have 7$ trades. Tradeking has 5$ and sogoinvest has 3$ trades. All are very nice services...I have several friends that are pleased with the service with those branches.

Does any of these online brokers accept non US investors ?

 

If you are not in the US, you are probably better off choosing a broker in your own country.

 

Can anybody recommend a good reading material to learn about the ins and outs of stock trading/investing?

 

Someday when i have enough money ill do the same, good luck to you

 

Sharebuilder is nice if you're planning to invest for 10 or 20 years. Then it doesn't matter if you have to wait till next Tuesday for the trade. And hopefully in that time you will have made a big return since the selling fee is still high.

Scottrade is my preference. My dad uses TD

This is the first time I've looked at TradeKing though... looks interesting.

 

you can start with small

like if u had 5 google stocks for $100 each it would have been x 5 now

so $500 will become $2500

i hope you can afford small investments

there are many different starategies(sic.) to invest in stock, but if you following a buy fear stratergy,,,, this might a good time for the indian market.... it is down 8% or so

 

Quick question,

I am a newbie in stock trading... is there an online service that does all the work for us? I mean without me having to trade manually?

 

Nope, when google started selling they sold them in 50,000 chunks.

 

I recently joined the stock market fun aswell

Put $400 into Northern Rock... figured the only way was up until they dropped again but i spoke with a financial adviser and he seemed very keen on my move!!

Lets hope im right!!

 

You should have tried investing in several companies, rather than putting all your money in one company.
If the company goes bankrupt, you will loose everything.

 

Can anyone believe that Google is up to $625.00 a share and everyone estimates it to hit $750 soon.

My best advice, thanks to Jim Cramer from CNBC, suggests watching ValueClick (VLCK) because they have the potential of a buyout with a HIGH premium.

 

did i write anywhere that i put all my money in this stock ?
by the way its price is doubled now, to 1000+
