Question

SLB
(Please only answer if you are an experienced stocks investor)

I do not wish to buy into other stocks or funds. I just want to know the way to maximize profits and how to make more $ other than selling at market price but with a low risk.

eg. Sell short, Sell long etc.... I don't understand that stuff.

I need to know as I am planning on selling some stock soon :)
All good advice is deeply appreciated.

Answer 1

Don't sell short That means you sell a stock you don't Owen. You get the market price at that time and hope it goes down so you can buy it back at the lower price and make a profit.The only other way you can do it is to sell the stock to another person Who wants it but does not want to go to a broker sometimes they might give you a little more but no killer profits. You will just have to settle for mkt price-you can put in an order to sell at a few points higher then it is now and if it gets to that price it will go and you got a bigger profit. Thats the best way if you dont need the money fast.

Answer 2

Well to lower your risk in oil stocks or more broadly natural resources - use a mutual fund or ETF. U.S. Global Investors Global Res (PSPFX) has done great for me since I went into it in late 2003.
