Is their a percentage of Investors that always sell their stocks for less than they paid for them and then buy it back for more later, when they want back in the market? I was wondering if there are people who always make a cycle of selling when the market is bad and then when they feel better, they go back and buy stocks, then do it all over again as soon as bad news comes back again? Is this anything like the Pig Investors of the stock market?
I want to invest in the stock market but need to know how to go about doing that. So i need suggestions on Reference material to study and how to use the computer programs to help keep track of the market and my investments. Anything would help.
And does it means that it has shares in stock market?
Why is it falling the last 2 days? I keep reading something with Europe but nothing is explaining it.
Thanks.
What are the very best forums or message boards where I can post questions about stock market and investing related topics?
Thanks in advance
thanks, raysor
any more?
I am new to this, how do I find new businesses that have just floated on the stock market? Thanks
It seems to me, that since day traders ( people allowed to trade daily thru the net without professional counsel ) and trading were left to the professionals who actually understand and have been trained and educated in the market, that stocks throughout the world and America would be more stable.
eg: Hurricane Katrina: gas prices almost doubled in America. But America gets most of its oil and gas from Canada, South America, and the Middle East and we have reserves in Utah, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Alaska. There was no reason other than greed and speculation for prices to increase.
I read that the stock market has historically grown by 9% a year. Whatever the number may be, it grows.
Where does this money come from? If the world is a closed circuit (accounting for inflation), how can the people in there amass on average 9% more money per year, unless that same amount of money is being lost by others?
Lets say you buy some stocks and after a month or so your money gets doubled. Would you not morally feel bad about the money that you got from stock market without doing a thing? Would you feel it is similar to gambling? Can one say that just because there is some science behind stock market the money that some gets out of stock market is more legit?
It seems increasing impossible for the average guy to predict the market yet large institutions seem to carry on making billions. Is it a case where they have created a monopoly and are manipulating the markets. What can we do to make the stock market a better investment option?
