Thank you i wasnt sure on how the market worked until now :)
Btw if i was to invest 200 GBP (Great British Pounds) into oil or gold would they be worth it ? however i have seen that they are 111 USD for 1 share in gold and it went down and goes up every day.
Also i want to understand something.
If theyre is little of something like gold would the gold stock go up making money ? or down ?
@Agorsan I do not invest in commodities. I buy individual stocks. I usually buy stocks which pay dividends. There are mining and drilling stocks and mutual funds, some of which pay dividends, but I personally would not be a buyer of those. You will need to research anything you choose as an investment. Thanks.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge while explaining that there's more to life than just money. Very thankful there are people like you out there still.
@Rimmer7 There is a bit of gambling involved with investing, but it is a good idea to spread the risk out so you do not bet the grocery money on a hot tip. It is possible to make good investments that will last for a lifetime. Good luck. Thanks.
I finally had the time to start watching these videos, and I'm very happy so far. It's nice to hear your bit of life wisdom at the end, which I find to be very true.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and I hope you continue this series!
I'm 16 years old, trying to make some extra money for college, or whatever's might need it for. In your video, you said you should invest in various companies not just one. Well the thing is, I'm only starting with $500. Would you recommend putting that into one company or splitting it like you said in the video. Thanks.
@cupcakekid23 There are many ways to be diversified. You could invest in an ETF, which is an exchange traded fund. Choose an index fund of some kind that invests in many companies. Search "index funds, ETF" and see what comes up and study that or just invest in a company you think will be around for many years to come. Good luck. Thanks.
@panyidavid You can set up a portfolio at most financial sites such as Yahoo or Google and then just do some imaginary buys and sells to test your skills. Just search "stock portfolio." Thanks.
I want to e-trade sock but only goods that are related to kitties. I will buy kitty food high and sell it low cos i am in the stock market for the love of it, nt to make a profit i only care about kitties >_<
@Featureman *giggle* kitty comes equipped with a parachute for such eventualities. If an investor loses all of their stocks, they are released from the burden of wealth and discover inner peace...is this true sir, is this true?
@Featureman the problem is ascribing value to kitty. However much kitty means to you in your heart, that is how much you should go in for regarding kitty stocks. I think kitty is worth 5 moogoo's, it says so in my heart. You might think kitty is worth 18 moogoo's, so you will front the full 18. Ultimately, kitty is worth the universe. Value is a charade, a necessary one perhaps, but let us not forget our cosmic goals: Kitty and inner peace. Honour to ye, champion of Rhythnor x x x
Are there any people out there who still invest in stocks? What I'm seeing is chasing stocks. Chasing stocks is not investing. We have become a nation of day traders who don't have any confidence in the economy...
@monsterzeroJr There are many investors who panic and sell and then become elated and buy. I try to invest like I did 30 years ago which is buy something I think has a great future and which has a good dividend while I hold it. It seems that day traders have different ideas. Thanks for the comment. I hope investors return as time goes by.
Mr.Tom this was so fair of you .. I accidentally run on these daydreaming of better life ... petty am in a country that is not a country and can barely go through the month. Not to mention investments..
I hoped to start with sm amount less then 10 dollars :))).Maybe in next life he :)?
Anyway Sir, very fairy educational video be Blessed!
Great bloke mate, some real good advice in this video. Wondering if you could give me any insight to stocks within australia? Just wondering if there is an equivalent to the Dow 30 over here or is it all the same internationally? Just starting out mate please let me know what I can do to learn more and become more in touch.
@pommahawk5986 I do not know about the Australian stock market. The Dow 30 stocks and S&P 500 stocks are very likely available there but the brokers there would have to advise you about trading there. Also, all international stocks do trade in markets around the world but the rules would be different in each country and currencies would fluctuate. Good luck with your research. Thanks.
@SuperAvailable123 I use TD Aneritrade. I am happy with them, but others might be lower cost per trade. The various brokers each have different minimum account amounts. They probably are each very good but would have slightly different requirements. Good luck with everything. Thanks.
@KPpivot Right under the video above is a link to my financial site. It is called ezfinancialyutorials. It has many videos and links and info. Thanks.
@zchipmunk I have a video called "How to Research a Stock Financial Tutorial for Beginners" which I put up on July 19th. It shows some of the basics I use for research.It should come up with a YouTube search or just by going to my channel and looking on the right side at my videos Thanks.
@Featureman Hi, what do you think about the debt ceiling issues and how will that impact the market? Do you think it's a good idea to get out of the market temporarily to avoid losses from the debt ceiling issues?
@blake6103 I do not get out of the market. I buy stocks I think will be around doing well for a long time. I am looking at real estate as an additional investment. Real estate and good stocks and things you enjoy and your health are all good places to invest for the future. Thanks.
@parkerthehicks Most financial sites such as Yahoo or Google have lots of info and up to date news items about every company. Keep in mind, however, it is the surprises, what you don't know, that makes stock prices surge and tumble. Study some issues and invest where you feel most comfortable and be ready to be surprised. Good luck. Thanks.
@Featureman, I first want to thank you for uploading these videos! They have been very beneficial and helpful for me getting started in the market! I was wondering if you would be willing to explain what your profession was, were you an economics major or professor, stock broker or how did you learn so much about all of this? Also what do you think about the recent trends of the market going down so much over the past month. Do you think were headed for another great depression or stock crash?
@blake6103 Thanks. I have been interested in stocks since I was a boy. I did not buy any stocks until I was about 30. I am an entertainer. I have done radio announcing, singing acting and other things in show business. Yogi Berra said "Some things are hard to predict, like the future." I do not know where the market is headed. I look at individual stocks and buy what looks like a bargain. There are many now. Many people made money during market down trends. I never sell short or hedge.
@Featureman Thank you for the advice! Do you have any suggestions as to how to know when to buy and sell stocks, is there a good way to analyze this buy reading certain financial reports and so on?
@blake6103 The time to sell is when you have a nice profit and you want some money to use for something else. You also might decide to sell something that looks like it is going nowhere. I personally would be a seller of most bricks and mortar retailers and a buyer of high dividend companies such as pharmaceuticals. There is no rule, just your feeling about each stock you own. I use all info that is available at Yahoo and Google financial pages. Good luck. Thanks.
That is a safe way of trading, but personally i wouldnt trade mcdonald shares. and besides an $80 profit for a $5000 investment is very poor. but i guess it is a good way of describing trading for beginners.
also i think studying the stock for a year is ineffective if you are a full time trader. you can spend the night reading the stock market, preparing investments and can make about 5 figures inthe next day depending on the stock fluctuation and your investment.
I truly am excited about this series and I will continue to watch for the insight and the details about the market, and I thank you that finally someone has taken the time to help the outsiders like myself learn more about this VERY important subject.
I graduated with a BS in Economics in 2009 and I cannot understand the indexes when I read them or broadcasts like PowerLunch and Bloomberg. What other resources do you recommend for wall street outsiders to learn about the market?
@FilmJenkins The internet has so much information on a minute by minute basis. I would recommend Yahoo and Google Financial pages. Pick out about twenty or thirty stocks and a few ETFs, Exchange Traded Funds and study for a year or so and you will be well prepared to begin investing with some sense of ability. Good luck. Thanks.
A Wise Man's Word. Do things Which makes you happy. I Am big fan of your piano videos sir. I thought of getting into to stock market and you helped me again. Thank you so much. !
@13elsyd13 I am the richest man in the world. There is a woman in Cucamonga who has $3 more than I have. She is not as attractive as I am, however. Thanks.
Thank you for starting a tutorial such as this. This is just so wonderful! I am currently a college student studying nursing (my senior year!!) and I've always wanted to learn how to invest in the stock market. I can't wait to watch all of your tutorials!!
@nikeboy90 I think a year of watching and studying the seasonal drifts of the market will give an investor more realistic expectations. Coca Cola and beverage stocks for example might be enjoying greater sales in the Summer and might be better bargains in the Winter, etc. Also Disney can be expected to have a Christmas blockbuster which might make it more attractive in October or November. Good luck. Thanks.
dear sir, u say diversify ur shares, which is exactly opposite to what the worlds richest man , warren buffet says....so i lost all interest in ur video after that...wont be watching ur other videos
@abinavshrestha I doubt if Warren Buffet ever spoke against diversity. You might want to look at Berkshire Hathaway and see what it encompasses. Thanks.
@Featureman recently watched the BBC documentary on warren buffet.he tells us tht diversify doesnt work so well and its much smarter to put your money in one or two places..places tht u know well
@abinavshrestha Thanks. Warren and I agree on the importance of diversity. His Berkshire holdings amount to more than 70 companies. I have a link in the description to a Buffett interview. I own about a dozen companies now. I recommend 20 to 25 holdings which you have carefully researched. Diversity alone is not enough but it is part of an investor's best insurance against the losses of his mistakes. Warren and I have each had losers.
I'm interested in investing in stocks. I like your idea on being patient and studying the market your interested in for one year. What is the best way to go about this? What is a good way to start? Should I simply watch the stock sales over time?
@elegy151 I would suggest visiting either Google or Yahoo financial pages and start clicking the links. Find some stocks you want to follow like McDonald's or AT&T or a mutual fund like QQQ or SPY and just start. There is no one place to start. Take your time. Thanks.
@edfrizzle I just glanced at it. I have never heard of it before. It looks like an OK place to learn about the market. Also use other sources. Thanks.
@chun2005 I would suggest building a Portfolio at Google or Yahoo Finance and just enter some sticks you want to follow and check it each day to see how it does. It is free to join those sites and other financial sites where you can put together a portfolio. Have fun. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! I've been using a stock simulator app, to get acquainted with investing in stocks, but it seems to make the user a day trader, as it resets at the first of the month. I'll keep doing my homework before jumping into the real thing.
@blkcolas Ab option is the right to buy or sell a stock or commodity at a certain price. It can expire and be worthless. It can be a margin account or a regular account. If you guess right you can make a profit without actually buying the underlying stock. If you guess wrong you can lose your total investment. If you buy on margin you can lose more than your investment. Search online for How To Buy or Sell Options. I would not buy or sell options. Thanks.
I truly do not believe how fortunate people on this forum are by receiving vital knowledge from you dear sir. You should be known as a philanthropist since knowledge is wealth.
@Featureman were do you trade?? i had to pay 50 dollar a trade and its the 1 with the most stocks... where do you trade??? can you trade german stocks and asian stocks there too.. even not well known and chinese stocks???
@dragonheadofthewest I use TD Ameritrade. They do have most stocks and mutual funds for most countries. It is best to read their terms and conditions for details. It costs less than $10 per trade for US customers. There are brokers who have lower rates than that also but read the terms and whether they have offices where you reside. Thanks.
@Featureman yeah i had salzgitter, for 9 euros a stock 1000... the chief of the banc laughed at me because i had that stock when i had to liquidat it for a drivers license.. he sad what a stock, what do they do and laughed... that stock went from 10 to over 150 i think....
Thank you for this video; it was exactly what I was looking for. It's not to have a down to earth guy teach you the bascis without trying to sell you anything. AND being kind enough to throw in good tips for living a happy life.
Hello again sir, I started with play money on Investopedias simulator just to get the feel down for a while. Though Im a hard worker 5 days a week with a 8 to 5 job, which makes day trading not my thing, I am interested in trades within several days or so. Here is the question. Should I get a stock software program? Any easy affordable ones you recommend, or will the broker sites have what I need when I join? Thanks You have a lot of interesting vids by the way. Interesting man. Thats good
@jdssurf I do not use any, nor do I recommend any software programs. I get all my investing information online from sites like Yahoo Finance and Google Finance. I do not buy a stock planning to sell it in a few days. If there is a reason to sell a stock I sell it if I have owned it only a few hours or a few years. Thanks.
@Featureman Thanks, well I would be interested in the selling in a few hours myself as well, however I don't want it to interfere with my regular job by watching it so much, maybe on days off I could do that more, much more fun to watch the market while its open compared to when its closed lol. Thanks again.
@zw0ecool If you go to Google Finance and type in the symbol APL the description of the company tells you it is a partnership. Always check the description of a company before you invest in it. I do not recommend investing in partnerships especially for beginners. Thanks.
well, Im looking on yahoo finance,,,I couldnt remember exactly the amount I was just estimating, but if you pull up the chart their, then scroll down it says the bid, 4.70ish and the ask also 4.70ish,,,however it says 4.70ish x 16 thousand and something. I just dont know what that means, is it always 100 shares when buying a stock? maybe you can see it on that page if you get time. finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=C
@jdssurf The bid and ask quantities after hours is the number of holders who have left an order to see at a certain price when the market opens or sell at a certain price when the market opens. If there are more buys than sells the market will go up "after hours." That is usually not significant even with a million shares in Citibank's case because they trade 500 million a day. Focus on the price per share to buy or sell when the market is open. Thanks.
ok, here is a better question. I see on a table that say Citibank for instance, 4.80 or so a share, however then under the chart, it says 4.80 x 16800 or so....some say 5.00 x 200..does that mean its 1000 bucks a share....why is this? And am I correct?
Thank you for this video. I already thought about waiting around a year before I buy stock, it is always best to be reserved, it gives you focus.

also i think studying the stock for a year is ineffective if you are a full time trader. you can spend the night reading the stock market, preparing investments and can make about 5 figures inthe next day depending on the stock fluctuation and your investment.
Peace

I truly am excited about this series and I will continue to watch for the insight and the details about the market, and I thank you that finally someone has taken the time to help the outsiders like myself learn more about this VERY important subject.
I graduated with a BS in Economics in 2009 and I cannot understand the indexes when I read them or broadcasts like PowerLunch and Bloomberg. What other resources do you recommend for wall street outsiders to learn about the market?
Thank you.

@FilmJenkins The internet has so much information on a minute by minute basis. I would recommend Yahoo and Google Financial pages. Pick out about twenty or thirty stocks and a few ETFs, Exchange Traded Funds and study for a year or so and you will be well prepared to begin investing with some sense of ability. Good luck. Thanks.

@nikeboy90 I think a year of watching and studying the seasonal drifts of the market will give an investor more realistic expectations. Coca Cola and beverage stocks for example might be enjoying greater sales in the Summer and might be better bargains in the Winter, etc. Also Disney can be expected to have a Christmas blockbuster which might make it more attractive in October or November. Good luck. Thanks.

@abinavshrestha I doubt if Warren Buffet ever spoke against diversity. You might want to look at Berkshire Hathaway and see what it encompasses. Thanks.

@Featureman recently watched the BBC documentary on warren buffet.he tells us tht diversify doesnt work so well and its much smarter to put your money in one or two places..places tht u know well
abinavshrestha 9 months ago
@abinavshrestha Thanks. Warren and I agree on the importance of diversity. His Berkshire holdings amount to more than 70 companies. I have a link in the description to a Buffett interview. I own about a dozen companies now. I recommend 20 to 25 holdings which you have carefully researched. Diversity alone is not enough but it is part of an investor's best insurance against the losses of his mistakes. Warren and I have each had losers.

I'm interested in investing in stocks. I like your idea on being patient and studying the market your interested in for one year. What is the best way to go about this? What is a good way to start? Should I simply watch the stock sales over time?
elegy151 10 months ago
@elegy151 I would suggest visiting either Google or Yahoo financial pages and start clicking the links. Find some stocks you want to follow like McDonald's or AT&T or a mutual fund like QQQ or SPY and just start. There is no one place to start. Take your time. Thanks.

@blkcolas I always buy at market price and I do not have any automatic buy or sell price limits.
Featureman 11 months ago
@blkcolas Ab option is the right to buy or sell a stock or commodity at a certain price. It can expire and be worthless. It can be a margin account or a regular account. If you guess right you can make a profit without actually buying the underlying stock. If you guess wrong you can lose your total investment. If you buy on margin you can lose more than your investment. Search online for How To Buy or Sell Options. I would not buy or sell options. Thanks.

*****Oil trader Prediction ********
If you live in Libya, it would be wise to get out of Tripoli.
3-11-11 = 3 2 2 = 38.322°N, 142.369°E (Japan quake epicenter)
3-20-11 = 3 2 2 = 32°49'N 13°7'E (Tripoli Libya)
UN approved a no fly zone around Libya.
Even 322 comes up on the north Korea thing too. Elite love their numbers.

@dragonheadofthewest I use TD Ameritrade. They do have most stocks and mutual funds for most countries. It is best to read their terms and conditions for details. It costs less than $10 per trade for US customers. There are brokers who have lower rates than that also but read the terms and whether they have offices where you reside. Thanks.

Hello again sir, I started with play money on Investopedias simulator just to get the feel down for a while. Though Im a hard worker 5 days a week with a 8 to 5 job, which makes day trading not my thing, I am interested in trades within several days or so. Here is the question. Should I get a stock software program? Any easy affordable ones you recommend, or will the broker sites have what I need when I join? Thanks You have a lot of interesting vids by the way. Interesting man. Thats good
jdssurf 1 year ago
@jdssurf I do not use any, nor do I recommend any software programs. I get all my investing information online from sites like Yahoo Finance and Google Finance. I do not buy a stock planning to sell it in a few days. If there is a reason to sell a stock I sell it if I have owned it only a few hours or a few years. Thanks.
Featureman 1 year ago
@Featureman Thanks, well I would be interested in the selling in a few hours myself as well, however I don't want it to interfere with my regular job by watching it so much, maybe on days off I could do that more, much more fun to watch the market while its open compared to when its closed lol. Thanks again.

what do you mean when you say not to invest in "partnerships" ??? what are you referring to? can you explain please?
zw0ecool 1 year ago
@zw0ecool If you go to Google Finance and type in the symbol APL the description of the company tells you it is a partnership. Always check the description of a company before you invest in it. I do not recommend investing in partnerships especially for beginners. Thanks.
Featureman 1 year ago
well, Im looking on yahoo finance,,,I couldnt remember exactly the amount I was just estimating, but if you pull up the chart their, then scroll down it says the bid, 4.70ish and the ask also 4.70ish,,,however it says 4.70ish x 16 thousand and something. I just dont know what that means, is it always 100 shares when buying a stock? maybe you can see it on that page if you get time. finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=C
jdssurf 1 year ago
@jdssurf The bid and ask quantities after hours is the number of holders who have left an order to see at a certain price when the market opens or sell at a certain price when the market opens. If there are more buys than sells the market will go up "after hours." That is usually not significant even with a million shares in Citibank's case because they trade 500 million a day. Focus on the price per share to buy or sell when the market is open. Thanks.
Featureman 1 year ago
ok, here is a better question. I see on a table that say Citibank for instance, 4.80 or so a share, however then under the chart, it says 4.80 x 16800 or so....some say 5.00 x 200..does that mean its 1000 bucks a share....why is this? And am I correct?
