If I want invest money to gain profit besides retirement how would I go about doing it and how much can I make

Answer 1

J.P. Getty used to quip, "The first billion is the hardest." How much do you plan on working with, how much are you shooting for, and besides in interest earnings or dividends on preferred stock, how do you figure that there is a formula for computing the amount of success you will obtain in the stock market?

The simple of it is this--does the company make a profit? is the company in line to continue making a profit, possibly a bigger profit? Then as long as the government isn't changing rules that affects that company, or some natural change like weather or earthquake doesn't affect it, or some revolution or industry change because of a new way of doing things--then things ought to come out pretty well, right?
