  • your videos are amazing, i've learnt a lot. I'm only 17 but I'm trying to learn so I can start buying when I turn 18. Thank you

  • @ModernWin Thank you. Good luck with everything as you begin to invest.

  • First of all i like to thank you for coming up with a video like this.And i gotta very basic doubt and i dont know where to clear this one.See,if i bought some shares of a company and it is going down and down.If i like to sell those shares,who will buy that?Since its not performing well and every one would know that no one wants to hold that one!!!What will happen then?This may be a very basic question,but i cant figure out anything with this one!!!

  • @ramfzs That is how the price is determined. If there are more buyers than sellers, the price is raised. If there are more sellers the price goes down. Some companies go to zero. Buy low if you believe in the company's future. Thanks.

  • Great set of videos

  • @DavidsIllustrations Thank you.

  • God Bless You! Thank you so much for your videos!  For people with my learning style, who's more interactive... your teaching style works wonder. I especially how you speak in layman's terms, and not use the trading 'terminology' for the sake of us beginning traders. Thanks again... you're helping a lot of people.

  • @realvirtue You are very welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

  • @TheRottekebab I do not buy mutual funds except for ETF funds which track or follow an index. There is no manager choosing what to buy except what gives the same results as the index. Look only at index funds if you decide to buy mutual funds. I prefer to buy and choose my own stocks. Thanks.

  • i always wanted to try this out..and this by far has taught me (while keeping me intrested)..thank u and great work sir...

  • @313makaveli You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

  • @313makaveli i agree, ive looked at some of this mans stocks that he had in the last video and there not bad on there charts in the last year

  • berkshire hathaway is $110,525 ( 24/11/2011 00:03

  • Thank you! I'm a senior in college and I have no clue. Now I'm getting something.

  • @cloudsynth08 Thanks. I have a link to my financial website under the video. It has text and video information. All free of course. Good luck with everything in college.

  • hello

    im a new trader. i have enjoyed your videos. i have a new penny stock that has made me 1800 percent gain with monster potential. it is kblb,pk - i know that you dont reccomend pennys but i believe this stock is diffrent. anyway i thought i would pass it along.

  • @bigfoot3270 Good luck. Penny stocks are too risky for me but occasionally one does well. Thanks.

  • I Like ur video..

  • @umesh255 Thank you.

  • nice advise..

    

  • @umesh255 Thank you.

  • Wow thanks for these videos, they're great for the average person (like me) who doesn't know how but wants to start buying stocks.

  • @grappler61 You are welcome. Thank you.

  • Thanks for sharing your wisdom. People like you inspire me, and I'm sure a lot of people are benefiting from this.Please keep up the spirit and keep sharing.

    

  • @karrygoogle Thank you very much.

  • @Featureman I'm a young professional of 26 years who is a year and half in to my career. I'm a little confused as to what is the difference between investing in a mutual fund and investing in stocks. I know that Mutual funds are managed professionally, but what kind of returns can you expect in mutual funds on long term basis versus in stocks?? I'd really appreciate your help in this regard. Do you think it is wise invest in mutual funds to start with?

  • @karrygoogle If you buy a stock it is one company. A mutual fund might be many hundreds or many tens of companies. I would not invest in a mutual fund unless I was not planning to manage my own money. If I purchased a mutual fund it would be a low expense ratio EFT and it would always be a no load fund. Look up those terms and study before investing in anything. I personally prefer managing my own purvhases and sales. Some mutual funds are not managed. They are Index Funds. They might be OK.

  • One person dislikes growing money. cha ching

  • @gophlay Thanks. I did not notice that before. Interesting.

  • Hi Featureman,

    Fisrt off, your videos are awesome and full of knowledge. I was wondering if you can enlighten us about Canadian Stocks. The stocks I am interested to know areHNU, EQN, and CMK. I use financial websites but I would really appreciate if you can guide even a little how these stocks might be doing in the next few years.

    Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated,

    Thank,

    Karen

  • @Horizonforlife Thanks. I am not at all familiar with those thee stocks. I took a very quick look at them and I would not be a buyer of any of them. I prefer stocks that pay a dividend and have a low P/E among other factors. The thing to do is study some stocks you like, maybe those three, and if you decide they have some sort of potential, invest a small amount of your portfolio in each but be diversified. I try to have about twenty stocks at a time and not a lot of any one. Good luck.

  • Greetings.

    I have spent a great deal of money on how to trade, etc., but the manner in which you share your wisdom, has made it all make sense.

    Bless you, sir.

    OL.

  • @akan1 Thank you very much.

  • This is amazing sir, I find it so informative. I am a recently graduated from college; I majored in mathematics and I want to venture in stock market. Should I seek job in Mutual Funds or just do my own trading while continuing doing math which I love to teach?

  • @coochg12 That would depend on how much time you have to spare for research. I would recommend watching the market for about a year and then choose about twenty stocks to purchase so you are diversified. If you are busy with other things try mutual funds. Good luck. Thanks.

  • @Featureman Thanks a lot for the prompt reply

  • Great videos, they are the best on you tube.

  • @fastestcummins Thanks so much.

  • I think I am actually getting better information here thn the goobers on tv who are paid to give advice. Thanks for what you do. Do you have any suggestions on how to find companies that have just gone public? Maybe you go over that in a diff vid that i havent seen yet. Thanks again for all the great information and sharing your experiences.

  • @TheIgotcramps Thanks. The IPO or initial public offering of a company's stock can be a good investment for someone in the know. If you work for a company and find out they are going public you might be able to buy in early at a low price. I would never invest in an IPO on it's first day of trading because even then it is usually too late. I stick with well known names and high volume. Search IPO. Thanks.

  • This is very good info you are giving sharing to us^^

  • so if some1 waited untill (3 years) today to sell the "most expensive stock" they would profit $5,000 ..... feb 2008, it was at $140,000 ...that would have been a great time to sell.

    if i were to have the kind of money...id buy 1 share and sell if i can make a $2,000 profit

  • I would personally not invest in Berkshire Hathaway because it is too expensive. I would rather own about 20 or 25 companies and watch for selling opportunities. Berkshire is up about $700 per share today but it is way down from 2008 prices. Thanks.

  • Thanks. I do enjoy making the videos so I will continue doing so as long as I can.

  • your very right about waiting a year ....i thank you

  • Thank you. Good luck with everything.

  • I would love for you to put some a couple of videos address to young people! I am a 18 year old college student and your videos are great!I have not invested real money in stock yet but instead I am using Google Fiance and putting down what I would've invested if you want to check out what I have been doing its a great way to practice anyone who is thinking about investing. Thanks agian featureman.

  • You are welcome. I think you are doing it correctly by testing your ideas before you risk any money. Thanks.

  • sir,i'm not an american and not living in america,but i'm interested on investing on stock market in our country..i would like to know if that terminology that you were telling about are applicable in all stock exchange.i really admire your explanation about stocks sir.

  • Thanks. I do not know what the requirements are for investing in your country, but the terminology should be the same for each market. I would stick with major exchanges in any country and even try to invest directly with large international firms if you can do so from your area. Research DRIP investing where the shares are purchased directly from the company. Take some time to study your market. Thanks.

  • I would not recommend penny stocks for new investors. I also would not recommend penny stocks for seasoned investors. Thanks.

  • Thank you for these videos. There is so much valuable information. I am a finance college student and so it is very nice to be able to reinforce some of the things I'm reading in the textbooks and see how it works in everyday life. Thanks again, these videos are much appreciated. Keep 'em coming!

  • Thank you. I am thinking about putting up a video sometime in the not too distant future with a focus on young people. It would have info you probably do not hear about at school.

  • great video again. one question, what do stock holders do inside the stock market?

  • A person who buys stock in a company can vote about four times each year on issues presented to the stockholders by the Board of Directors. Other than that the stockholder can buy or sell the stock through the brokerage house. That is about all that is done by a stockholder.

  • and how does the expense ratio directly effect your online portfolio?

  • You need to study the market for a year before you trade or start an account. That is my best advice for you at this time.

  • whats the Difference in Buying a regular stock online compared to buying such things like mutual funds? are you saying there is a different process of obtaining one(buying) and selling one other than an online broker?

  • First, the tutorials are great.

    Second, I'm new at this, so I'm just asking, not attempting to refute. Why wouldn't a load on a Mutual fund simply encourage buyers to hold it longer; isn't this a good thing for creating slow, steady growth?

  • Thanks. Loads are not good if there is a similar fund without a load. If a person just holds the fund and never sells he will not realize any capital gain. A load is a fee. If you want to hold a fund you will be wiser to hold a fund which has no load. There are good funds with loads, but better funds if they have the same tracking stocks included. You will make more with a no load fund that makes a profit than you will with a similar fund with a load. Thanks.

  • What you suggest for a market working multiple of 1 share trading and broker commission is also per share based. and for day trading commission is charged only one side.

  • Thank you.

  • you see, i been thinking about stock market, i have some difficulties about the terms and how EXACTLY THE STOCK MARKET WORKS, when ever you have free time, please contact me and give me some of your knowledge in Terms AND HOW TO START STock market, Thanks

  • thank you for you're time knowledge experience and openness i see myself learning a lot from you as i try to understand money and investments

  • Thanks. Enjoy the financial experiences like all of the other life experiences.

  • Keep up the good work Featureman, your tutorials are the tops, i am only new to the stock market and you helped alot..Thanks

  • Thanks.

  • One word....... MASTERRRRR!!! Now for my Question, If I want to sell my share on a Sunday morning at 7:00 am, Can it be done? or do I have to wait for Monday, How does that work?

  • You could put in a sell order after hours but it would not be traded until the next opening day of business at whatever the price might be by then. Take a look at a lot of different stock bid and ask prices at Yahoo or some financial page. After hours the spread between those two prices might be huge, like $1 bid $100 ask which just means the broker won't guarantee you will get the last closing price if you buy or sell after hours.

  • Learning a lot, keep up the good work! By the way, I've been doing the research, and noticed a few patterns: First, several company's spiked around 1999/2000, why? Second, there seem to be large companies (Nike, YUM, etc) that have had very steady growth in the long run, but seemingly smaller ones that rose high for a while and then flattened out; is this a reoccurring pattern (i.e. are their a few long term "big fish" and many short term "small fish")? If so, do we avoid them or buy? Thanks

  • Some stocks do disappear after a period of success if they do not change. There was a typewriter ribbon manufacturer that finally went out of business because they were old technology. Kodak and IBM had problems but did change. YUM used to be part of Pepsi. I owned PEP when YUM was spun off. They had great management and great brands. Buy what you think will be successful in the future. Some stocks are well positioned like Caterpillar. Look at companies you use every day. Thanks.

  • Right, research and intuition into the products and services that will stay around. Thanks again.

  • I have several others I am working on before I do more financial videos again, but I will do some more.

  • Please keep up the good work. Thanks so much for helping us. What is the highest (annual?) interest paid in a mutual fund and or a CD?

  • Hi. I have no idea what is the current highest interest rate at any bank. It can be checked on a daily basis at any search engine but it would depend on many things. You have to do the research. You might want FDIC insurance and you would have to decide whether you want a CD or a mutual fund or both or neither. Good luck.

  • Thank you for all your advice! You are the best online teacher so far. God Bless you.
