I mean is there anyone among you who was a newbieee.......or he started with a small amount and traded stock online........and is happy with what it gave him now??

Answer 1

First are you trading or investing? There's a difference. Traders are usually technical analysts who watch for patterns in stock movements to profit from short term moves in the price of a stock. Investors are long term buyers who have reviewed the merits of a business and committed their funds to its prospects.


I hold a few large to mid caps for the long haul, Goldman Sachs, Noble Energy, Qualcomm, F5, Psychiatric Solutions, Schlumberger, American Movil are amoung my larger, newer holdings. I've done pretty well on all of them. I like companies with decent growth prospects, high ROE & high ROA. I believe they generate better returns over the long haul.

Proof: my mom bought a certain Blue Chip in 1978. It's worth 120 times what she paid for it and her annual dividends are about 70% of her initial investment.

I also hold sereval thinly traded ideas where I'm shooting for the fences, but more often then not these don't work out. I've been doing this awhile.

Avoid "hot stocks" especially in fad industries. Crocs would be a current example.

I also have a couple I don't expect much out of but I just wanted to own them, such as a biotech firm working on a cure for a disease my grandfather suffered from.

If the market goes down, it does that from time to time. Don't panic, remember it's not a bank account, its a portfolio of companies that your part owner of.

You want to read my brokerage and bank statements so Yahoo could award me between two and ten points!?! No way in h--l!

I will tell you my first stock was Fedders. I bought some of the maker of window air conditioners one cold, crisp February day, many years ago, and sold them one hot June day. Then I took my wife out for a fancy dinner with some of the profits. Since I haven't missed a whole lot of meals since then, maybe my bulging belly is sufficient proof to be worth a few points from Yahoo over your your over-reaching question.

Answer 3

I can point you to a system that shows every single stock recommondation over the past 15 years. Shows the percentage return each month, from one month loss of over 30% to a one month gain of over 100%.

With a good strategy over the long term you will see that a valid system will provide consistantly good returns over 3, 5, 10, and 15 years.

A system with an annualized return of 49%p.a. over 15 years, the stocksmonthly system is certainly worth further investigation.

Yes.
