[epicwhat001]

Thanks for an informative vid featureman and nice touch in the end u really put it into prospective

[Featureman]

@epicwhat001 You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[BRAYBOMB]

Great videos, nice to see a levelheaded genuine person giving solid advice. Thanks!

[Featureman]

@BRAYBOMB Thank you.

[Rimmer7]

Health = 10 million dollars

Happiness = 10 million dollars

10 million dollars = 10 million dollars

Happines + Health + 10 million dollars = 30 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

[Featureman]

@Rimmer7 That sounds right. Thanks.

[SamirBorges]

Nice point of view, comparing millions with happiness and health. You're awesome.

Enjoy life..

[Featureman]

@SamirBorges Thank you for the nice comment.

[StockMarketPlan]

Wow... It is awesome to see someone using the plotting method of technical analysis. I have read that before computer technical analysis started, that is the way it was done. On paper. Pretty cool.

[Featureman]

@StockMarketPlan Thank you.

[hommuside]

I love your closing statements. Just makes you feel good. Investing or not. Thanks.

[Featureman]

@hommuside Thank you very much.

[montagesANDdisputes]

Great to see that message in the end. At the end of your life, it doesn't fully matter on how much you made, but how you spent your life. Better to be middle class and much less worry free instead of filthy rich and being stressed out 24/7. The big secret to life is that their is no secret to life. Enjoy the little things that make you happy and be a good person. You are very educated in this field, and even being 16 I am interested in this type of business. What was your actual career/job

[montagesANDdisputes]

throughout your life [main one] and how did you do overall investing in stocks and real estate? I know now is not the time to really be investing a lot in everything because of the economy, but it is very interesting to me.

[Featureman]

@montagesANDdisputes I have made good money in the market, I probably average 10 percent a year. I own real estate now which is worth more than I paid for it but I would not sell now. I am a contrarian. I buy the downturns. Now while others panic I load up. When everyone wants to buy I will sell. Thanks.

[montagesANDdisputes]

@Featureman Exactly, "get it while the gettin's good" is a great philosophy to go by because while you have to wait a while for your returning net profit, you maximize that profit and have lower risk since you are buying it a lot cheaper. I wish you great success in all your financial endeavors and a great day. Thank you for trying to help people and taking the time out of your day to create and post these great videos. I subscribe =)

[Featureman]

@montagesANDdisputes I have been in show business for more than fifty years. I have been a singer and actor and movie extra and writer and publisher and many other things. It is very enjoyable. Thanks.

[grappler61]

HELP.... I opened an account last week with shareview, I bought 1034 stocks in DXNS, Today I was trying to sell them & managed to sell more stocks than I actually own, ( Not sure how I've managed to do this) I was kind of trying to muddle my way through & figure it out as I go along! Should I be worried?

I don't know what will happen next? Do I owe my broker money?

[Featureman]

@grappler61 You should contact your broker immediately and get it all straightened out. It depends on how many shares you sold and whether the stock has gone up or down since that time. You can sell shares without owning them depending on your account and broker. You might not be in any trouble if the stock has not moved or has gone down since you sold it. Check it out. Good luck.

[hman111]

Thank you so much for posting these tutorials they are fantastic!

[Featureman]

@hman111 You are welcome. Thanks.

[BarcaLioMessi]

can you explain what a dividend is?

[Featureman]

@BarcaLioMessi Some stocks pay an amount of money per share four times each year to the stock holder. That is called a dividend. Thanks.

[AdamRyanKirkwood]

@Featureman The company pays that dividend?

[Featureman]

@AdamRyanKirkwood Yes,. It is paid into your brokerage account.

[Featureman]

@blkcolas Thanks. AI read some more about them. They seem like a way to lose the opportunity that will be provided by an upward market. Also Capital Gains will have a lower tax bite than interest on the CD, especially if you are a long term investor. And if you need the money it is not liquid like in the market. The investment is tied up for several years with early withdrawal penalties.

[Featureman]

@blkcolas I personally would not invest that way. It might be good for a senior citizen who no longer wants to follow the market each day. It could be OK for a Presidential candidate who has to have an investment in some blind vehicle. I want to choose my own stocks and buy and sell when it feels right. If a person is very active and has no time for studying the market it would probably be a wise investment but watch the fees. Thanks.

[bigbob5]

great videos you should make more for us beginners!

[Featureman]

@bigbob5 Thanks. I have about ten or twelve videos up about financial considerations. They are also at my site with a link under the video with some added textual content. The site is ezfinancialtutorials.

[wardeath100]

You are good my friend.

[Featureman]

@wardeath100 Thank you very much.

[dragonheadofthewest]

@Featureman good video. that was my mine problem i never had patience i wanted money now so i made bad investment. seriously no1 will believe me but if i had listened to that advise and just were patience i would believe there would have been no way ( or verry unlikely) that i have lost money...

[sain0777]

Great job. You've helped me a lot. I do not understand why there is one dislike.

[Featureman]

@sain0777 Thank you so much.

[baggybaba]

Thank you so much for these videos, this really helped me learn a lot more than confusing news channels and other so called professionals.

Thanks again. I wish you all the best.

[Featureman]

@baggybaba You are very welcome.

[marisseredblossom]

Thank you!

[Featureman]

@marisseredblossom You are very welcome.

[krohit99]

i like how you make things simple...good to see some old wisdom back on when most analysts and traders are faffing about like headless chickens juggling with stuff which essentially is useless. i recommend every beginner and indeed seasoned traders as well to watch these videos. really good work Featureman.

[Featureman]

@krohit99 Thanks.

[TheLivingDeadOne]

Great videos, Based on these dates you posted, I hope you got out of the market before Nov 08 & was lucky enough to get back in mar 9, 09. I had my account but no money in it, but fear held me back with listening to tech ticker with the next leg down further. I would have turned on my 20k investment into 200k or more. I'm still fearful now having to buy now at a higher price. Whats your advice at this point in the market?

[Featureman]

@TheLivingDeadOne Thanks. I am always in the market but not the Dow 30. I buy and sell individual stocks and sometimes ETFs. I have a list of my holdings at ezfinancialtutorials. There is always something going up and something going down. The stock market is said to climb a wall of worry so I buy when others panic and I sell when they think everything is great. That works best for me. I make money by selling too soon and buying too early.

[wmanger]

Featureman,how long you have been in the market? Thanks

[Featureman]

@wmanger More than 40 years. Sometime in the 1960s was when I first started trading. I did watch the market before that for a long time.Thanks.

[rachaconda]

thank you sir for the quick response iam from India and i am looking to get into day trading and searching for all the videos and techniques i do not have any knowldge of trading what so ever but i want to make a living out of trading but you have said not to do day trading so iam confused now

[Featureman]

@rachaconda I have never known a day trader who made a living at that. I have known day traders who lost a lot of money. I would never recommend day trading. That is especially true for anyone just starting to learn. Study the market for a year and make some investments if you feel it is a good idea. There are many other investments to look at such as real estate and a business or websites or a franchise, etc. Good luck. Thanks.

[clikityclankz]

@Featureman what do you think of emerging markets?

[Featureman]

@clikityclankz I think if you have an ETF with a low expense ratio that is into emerging markets and is diversified among many nations it would do well. The world economy will eventually recover and emerging markets are likely to lead the way. Thanks.

[rachaconda]

hello featureman sir how ru really nice video

[Featureman]

@rachaconda Thanks. I am fine. I hope all is going well there.

[ryansm05]

Fantastic videos, they really had me hooked!! Again like alot of people I feel this may be a stupid question, but I'm from England and am wondering if the terminology and the general consensus of what your saying will apply to the european stock market? I'm also looking at maybe undertaking a broking apprenticeship when I've finished university, and wondering if this would be helpful? Thanks in advance!!!

[ZenChat]

I have seen 5 of your videos in a row... I liked them a lot.... you clearly seem to not just be knowledgeable but also wise....

The only constructive feedback I have is to explain what terms mean... for instance what does "Puts" or "Options" mean.

[fatnanny84]

i would just like to ask you sir..in finance i have studied various theories about dividends (modigliani-miller, the bird-in-the-hand, signaling) and many of my teachers stuck with the dividend irrelevance theory which basically says "investors should not care about dividends" since capital gains are more important. what do you think? how importantly should we weigh dividend payouts when valuing a stock? kind regards from spain.

[Featureman]

Stocks do not always go up. I personally like dividend paying stocks. If a person spends many hours trading each day and makes lots of buys and sells the dividends are not as meaningful. I often hold stocks for years. Dividends matter over time. Thanks.

[fatnanny84]

thanks a lot buddy.. these videos r exactly what i have been looking around for

[Featureman]

You are very welcome.

[MrJAO1988]

Great teacher....very smart...and the best out look on life...thanks bro

[Featureman]

Thank you so much for the nice comment.

[floydbeat]

Question for you. Did anyone buy stock when the market was a mess and make money what Wall St. was bailed out? That may be a stupid question buy I'm new to this. Thanks.

[Featureman]

@floydbeat Yes. People buy every day. Many people buy more when the market is going down. Warren Buffett bought Bank of America when banks were out of favor. I also try to buy when a stock appears to be undervalued. It does not always work. I lost a lot with Washington Mutual but I have done well with other investments. I recommend reading about Warren Buffett and his trading style.

[saravanassn]

Great tutorial...

Thanks Tom...

[Featureman]

You are welcome. Thanks.

[StockMarketVideo]

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Trading!

[Featureman]

Thank you.

[hasanmalik42903]

dear Tom. I tried to understand but was in vain about company losing money if they are up 60% one year and down 50% following year..... how can they lose money? many thanks and great effort from you for new learners

[Featureman]

Not the company, the stockholders lose value. If a stock is $100 and it goes up 60% it then is $160. Next year it goes down 50%. That is one half. The stock then is worth only $80. Over the two years, up 60% and then down 50% means the value of the holding is down 20% for the two year period. Use any number it will be the same percent. Thanks.

[faahimsathak]

Hello. Thanks a lot for the video.

But can you give me 3 important factors before buying a stock!

Please give me some important factors, since i am planning to invest in Hong Kong stock market.

[2006scottw]

hi. the most fundamental principle in stock is to buy low and sell high right? but if everyone sets out with that in mind then when everyone buys low then who do you sell them to when they are high, bearing in mind everyone has the mindset of buying them low? is it like theres 20% of people on the stock market robbing the other 80% who dont have a clue? i mean who is it who buys them when they are high and seemingly dont have any value to the buyer? tnx

[Featureman]

That is why you want to study the market for a year at least before investing. If there is a fundamental principle it is to not lose your principle. Buying low and selling high is good. Buying high and selling higher is good. Study "window dressing, mutual funds" to find out how mutual funds buy high priced stocks near the end of a quarter to make investors think the fund always had the upwardly mobile stock. You probably won't be robbed if you learn what happens in the market.

[JeiiEra]

where do you invest? what website do i go to start investing, i know zero about stock investing

[Featureman]

It is best not to buy stocks until you do a year of research. Start at any financial page on the internet. I often use Yahoo Finance for research. Check the companies that advertise a price for stock purchases. Each company has different requirements. Do not invest unless you know what you are buying. Good luck.

[MrSoClutch]

I started reading the book "The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham". I've learned so much and haven't even read half of it. It's great so far, I recommend everyone new to get it.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[bbeckham83]

Thank you sir. My only complaint is that there's no #6.

I don't know what motivated you to make these videos, but thank you.

[Featureman]

Thank you. I noticed most stock market tutorials were about day trading and options and speculative trading. My is about how to start an account and what to look out for. I would never say what to buy or sell as far as individual issues. I enjoy making tutorial videos about subjects. Thanks.

[TermsOfUseExpired]

Hi, i just wanted to thank you for your hard work. I learned a lot from your videos. Do you suggest any books, websites, videos, etc that will help a beginner enter the market?

[Featureman]

Thanks. Almost any financial page will get you started with information you can learn. I use Yahoo Finance most often but there are many others. Just choose some stocks and research everything you can about them. Also check various brokers to see what their requirements are for when you decide to enter the market.

[goldenchild3079]

Featureman you are way better than that screaming guy on TV. (Jim Cramer)

[Featureman]

Thanks. Jim is a bit loud.

[MrSoClutch]

But what if I bought some shares for a couple a days to a week or so. Not very long term, just to make a little profit. Because it looks like it can only go up based on how low it is now.

[Featureman]

Hi. Lehman was up a lot again today, but the tick was down, which means the price was going down at the end of the day. It might surge upward again tomorrow but I would guess it to go down because it traded so many shares during the past two trading days. That could mean a lot of specualtors who bought at a lower price than today's close will have sell orders in for tomorrow morning. I would not invest in it. Yahoo expects the price to be $8 a share in one year. I doubt it. I could be wrong.

[MrSoClutch]

I'm 18 years old and I just started in the stock market. I have watched all your videos and they are really helpful. I am going to open an account, I was thinking scottrade. Is that a good one?

Also Lehman Brothers went up 200% on Friday. The volume also went up from around 2,500,000 to 73,000,000. How is that possible? How could people have known to buy all that?

[Featureman]

Hi. I personally would not touch Lehman's stock at this time and probably not ever. It is a stock that is at 15 cents now and it usually is at a nickel. It does not trade on the big board. The specualtion seems unwarranted. It is possible someone knows something good but it is a big secret. I probably will sell all my holdings by December 31 as far as paper issues are concerned. I will invest in something more tangible. There is always a bull market in some stock or fund. Good luck.

[Drop15]

Nice couple of tutorials you got here. I just turn 18, but only during last year , I found this new world. Actually I didn't wait a year to invest 6 or 7 months perhaps, not more than that. I hope in a near future, you'll post more videos, about international stocks. Thank you very much, good luck with all your stocks, greetings from Portugal ;)

[Featureman]

Thanks. It is good to start young if you can afford it and if you don't lose sleep over a bad day or bad week or bad year. Good luck to you and thanks again.

[charityprater]

Can you put out some more stock vids? I am looking for someone who knows how to define the different stock trading terms- like stop selling, market, etc... you seem to know how to explain things clearly- unlike Scottrade's webcast vids.

[Featureman]

Thanks. I will try to put some more up soon. I never buy or sell other than just "market" orders. I don't do "limit" or any of the other types of trades. They are probably all good, but I usually buy or sell only stocks that sell millions of shares each day. Writing a covered call could generate some income for a holder of a stock, but he also could lose if the stock goes up which is a strange thing. It is unlikely, but possible. There seems to always be a risk.

[polzowatel]

and almost forgot, what is your opinion about penny shares, our teacher told us that they are risky, but you may get lucky on those.. what do you think? and for the first time would you recommend me buying dow jones?

[Featureman]

Penny share can be OK but play on paper for a year before you risk any money on anything. Do not buy anything that comes in a brochure telling you it is a sure thing. I would not buy Dow Jones Industrial 30 or DJIA "Diamonds" right now.

[polzowatel]

Thank you very much sir, I will do exactly how you recommend me, I will play for a year with everything. Thanks..

[polzowatel]

and the last thing, I hope i won't tired you with my silly questions))) Im just 17, im starting i just need some advise from someone experienced like you. How often can I buy and sell? can i for example buy and sell that in one hour if i feel its necessarily? I am not going to buy a lot i want to try like $200 for the first month, buy/sell and see what happens.

[Featureman]

I would not start until I had at least $2000 and $10,000 would be better. I am talking of money over and above what you need to live a normal life. If you trade through a broker, you can buy and sell something instantly even in a minute oir half minute of trading the same issue. If you buy a mutual fund you pay the closing price for the day no matter when you buy it. If you buy Exchange Traded Funds, they are like stocks. You can buy or sell anytime. If you get in small diversify with ETFs.

[polzowatel]

Hello Tom, there are a few things i would like to ask you about. I did not quite understand, when i will be buying or selling shares, are they going to charge/tax me? when our teacher taught us, she said that we will only pay in the end of EVERY day only one particular amount of $ to the board of directors or something.. and i am not sure now because in your first video I believe you said that after buying or selling they charge $10, so i cannot understand that and also...

[Featureman]

My brokerage company charges me $9.99 per trade. It does not matter if I am buying or selling or how many shares or the price per share. You pay tax on any capital gain or dividends at the end of the year. Look at Schedule D and Schedule B. You do not give any money to the Board of Directors. If your "teacher" is talking about "the end of the day" it sounds like you are in a day trading class. If so, get out.

[polzowatel]

That was a high school teacher and the "end of the day" that was an example she gave us for our project, honestly she didnt really know a lot about stock market as i asked her some questions she never was sure what she was saying..

[Featureman]

She probably was doing it as a chance to test your ability for one day which is fine. I would recommend to avoid "Day Trading." It is OK to buy and sell on the same day, but not because that is the rule you follow. Buy and sell when it is right for you. Thanks.

[calamityart1]

hello!

I just wanted to say that your tutorials were very, very helpful. You made it easy to understand for new investors...and the info you covered was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge!

[Featureman]

Thank you. Good luck with everything.

[GOAV81]

Featureman, please tell me i'm wrong! You were the first vids I came across while searching for stock tutorials. I made it here to #5. You reminded me of a smart man like my own grandpa who told me to get into stocks and I was too young and stupid to pay attention to him. I went to your youtube page because #3 didn't show on my search. What the hell is this Vid there called, Satisfaction - Music Video Remake of Benny Benassi? I won't detail but what the hell? Are you one of those guys?!!

[Featureman]

Hi, Thanks. I am not one of the guys in the video, if that's what you mean. That video is a parody of a famous music video. The guys who made it did it brilliantly. I am very interested in comedy, music and video editing. I do have many videos about those subjects and I will probably post another today. I hope you enjoyed the Satisfaction video. It is one of my many favorites. I wish I had thought of doing it. Thanks again.

[frankcqIII]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just graduated from highschool and currently putting stock trading into consideration for my future plans. Thank you for the tutorials.

[Featureman]

You are very welcome. Enjoy your investing future,

[tolsonw]

great man

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[Ruralbowhunter]

Thanks for the tutorial, you seem sincere and knowledgable. Thanks again

[Featureman]

You are welcome.

[myjunno]

:) ur posts for stocks are really interesting ...

I am a new beginner.. and really thnc for ur posts ...

[deejaycherub]

more stock videos please featureman!  best youtube teacher so far!!

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[glubboy08]

excellent videos! thank you very much, I hope you will continue making them! One personal question for you though, how did you study the stock market before you got into it? Were you more of a book reader or did you learn through people? Or was it through school? thank you

[Featureman]

Hi. Thanks. None of the above, actually. I just read some newspaper pages about stocks from time to time starting when I was a preteen. It was just interesting. It was many years before I bought any stocks.

[brettrobson1984]

Im getting in. very informative

[Featureman]

Thank you. Good luck.

[Seann456]

Is there a #6 coming anytime soon?

[Featureman]

Hi. Not soon. I have some Christmas things I am working on now that are musical. Maybe in the next month or so.

[myjunno]

pls upload more ...

[Featureman]

Thanks. I will try to get some more financial info up soon.

[CoNiLa2]

watched all stockmarket vids!

can u explain how the stock market works?

how the values are determined

etc.

[zahreela1]

very nice video series.. I sincerely thanks for your time and advices. very valuable.

[Featureman]

Thank you.

[booze1000]

Nice video, was just wondering If You really need a stock broker to do this because I was thinking of doing this on my own.?

[Featureman]

You probably will need a broker to buy your first share of stock, but do a search for DRIP investing ( Dividend Reinvesting ) and find out some companies that allow you to buy direct from them. When you have a regular brokerage account you will not be bothered by brokers telling you what to buy or sell. You will make your own decisions.

[blazinNAKEDBEERz]

Look up dogs of the dow on google. The is a webpage that gives you the Dogs for the year, month and week. You can buy stocks on your own online through Scottrade or E-trade. Remember, only invest what you can afford to lose or will not need anytime soon. Investing for the short term such as a year is like gambling. But noone says you have to sell the stock after a year. If you never sell a stock that has gone down, then you won't lose.

[steven400]

Great Video

[Featureman]

Thank you. I hope the info is helpful for many.

[josef2424]

I dont understand how a company can be going up 10% down 8% ect ect. and be losing money.

[Featureman]

The company could be making money or losing money. That is not always what happens to the stock price. If a company makes money its stock price could still go down. The stock price going up or down by 60% or 50% or by 10% or 8% is what the stockholder needs to understand. It is easy to understand if you put it on paper and figure out what happens to the value of your holdings like the math I showed in the video.

[muzairanwar]

thank you very much sir... all your videos are really very good.... i have a question...

i live in canada and i have just opened an account in TD brockerage... i want to buy some stocks for google... plz tell me if it is necessary for me to buy a minimum ammount of shares?? for example if i want to buy one or 10 stocks can i??

[Featureman]

The only minimum amount that would apply would be the amount of money required to open an account with the brokerage house. If the broker has a minimum of $2500 per account you must have that amount of money in the account. If a share cost $500 per share, you could buy one or two shares if you wanted. The fee per trade would be the same whether you bought one share or 100 shares.

[muzairanwar]

ok, thank you sir... you r doing a good work..

[milkman915]

fisrt of all id like to say thx for the videos iv seen the first four so far. i am going to see this one then i would like for u too make more because i want to know my way aroung the market. ok now i checked out CAT catipillar and compared it with TM and DLB and it did better that both and i would like to know where i can go to see if any companies are selling stock just in case im interested

[Featureman]

By companies selling stock I am guessing you mean buying direct from the corporation and not from a broker. That can be done but usually they want you to own at least one share first which you bought through a broker. Search and learn about DRIP investing. That is a way to but stocks from the company. If you want to know about a specific company search DRIP and the company name.

[milkman915]

hello sir i know this is too mush to ask but can u teach me mostly everything you know and the key aspects of the stockmarket because i am really intrested and would like to learn a whole lot more.

[Featureman]

Hi. I will put up more tutorials if I get a chance but I stay busy with many things. Your best bet is to follow the advice of spending a year studying on your own at financial pages like Yahoo Finance and other online financial sites. Do not buy anything until you know what you are doing. Wait at least a year. Don't follow any tips. Just learn the basics and check before you enter.

[milkman915]

thank you i will try to but it would be hard teaching myself

[milkman915]

oh i know it may be rude but may i ask what is your name.

[Featureman]

Hi. I am Tom Willett

[milkman915]

thank you sir you are very help full my name is abdullay Sanoe. by the way i liked that i want more porn song lol :D

[Anon1669]

thank you for this

[Featureman]

You are very welcome.

[emu0812]

WOW the most educational video in regards to Stock market.. Keep up the excellant work.

Question: what are you view regarding international shares. I live in Australia and I bought shares via ASX - Australia Stock Exchange and its doing ok.

[Featureman]

I am not familiar with that particular market, but it is wise to be diversified. It helps if you can have holdings in different countries. If it is doing OK you are in a good thing for now.

[glovelove31]

you ever think of making money off of these videos, than make the company public, than ill buy you when your low and sell you when your high... aight so get working

[ollie1337]

Hey ive found your videos very informative and can't wait for more, but i am very new to the stock market was wondering if u could do a quick video on how to read/understand what all the abbreviations and percentages mean on financial websites. or if u perhaps know of some where i could find an easy guide to all of this?

Thanks you've been a great help! keep it up

[Featureman]

There are some books and I am sure there are websites with Wall Street lingo. Maybe here at YouTube there are some videos with information about terms. The most important thing to check on mutual funds in a prospectus is Expense Ratio. Yahoo's Finance section has lots of research info.

[keltonbosi]

please add some more videos..i enjoyed all your five tutorials and learned from them

[Remylebow]

Hi, just want to say thank you for shharing these pieces of information. I too am young and just want to know the basics and not get bogged down with terminology and fancy ways of looking at/interpretating things. Thank you very much.

[ashwin1202]

Thanks you sir. These videos are amazing. IT really helps beginers like us to know about stocks and mutual funds.

[TubeFlex0022]

Tom, you've done a great job sir! You are like the late Ben Graham...who is so generous in sharing his priceless wisdom to the young generation...helping them realize on what to do with the financial future...We look forward to hearing more from you, sir...! Youtube, please help us Keep Featureman's videos...his videos are very educational.

[vickithedj]

Again, WOW! I always felt intimidated by the thought getting into the stock market, but you make it sound so doable.  Your approach is exactly what I've been looking for and I think videos are so much easier to learn from than reading. I see you made a couple of book suggestions. That was my next question. I'll see if I can find any available audio from Bob Brinker.

YES!!! Please make more videos!

[yoyorico]

thank u very much sir

[OregonCoastGhost]

Please add more!

These are great. Thanks for taking your time to educate random strangers!

And thanks for the music and jokes. Nice "coffee break" after all the business talk.

[khawarMBK]

thank u ... u are a great teacher ... and a great person ...

[Mehrdaddy]

thank you sir for your informative video, I'm 20 and I started doing some research about the stock market. What books do you recomend for this particular subject?

I am waiting for your next video too. Thank you

Hi, I would only recommend the books that give general information, not "How to get rich overnight" books. There are books about stock market terminology which might be helpful. Bob Brinker has a good radio show in some markets. He is boring but honest. A library should have a good Financial selection. Maybe start there. I will try to do a video with more info.

Hi, Thanks, I would stay away from any book that has a title that implies it will make you rich. There are some books about how trading is done and how it began and Wall Street terminology that would be helpful. If a book urges you to buy on margin or buy options, I would avoid that. Learn about how to buy and sell and then decide what to buy or sell. I will make more videos.
