I have the ability to buy a 993 Porsche 911. But I want to invest that money in stock. Tell me where to invest and I will share a percentage of that money with you. What is the complication?

[Featureman]

@oknbjiuhvcgy No. Thanks. I put the tutorials up so people will learn how they want to invest or how not to invest. I will not be a personal advisor. That would be work. Thanks anyway.

[oknbjiuhvcgy]

Tom Willett, how much money did you lose in the stock market through out your life?

[Featureman]

@oknbjiuhvcgy Many thousands of dollars in different investments at different times.

I get the impression that you have a history in the music/royalty business! The average financial Joe usually knows nothing about this interesting line of business.

[Featureman]

@Ugluk1000 Thanks. I have done well with music publishing and performing. I have had a lot of fun with entertainment.

@Featureman dear friend, I am a musician. I have become interested in the stock market recently and have been looking for some great, honest advice. I do not believe in coincidences. hearing you talk about the music business and your history with it, is a clear sign that the Universe orchestrates perfectly. thank you sir, you are first class

[Featureman]

@theAbeElement Thank you very much.

Thanks for the time you have put out for ppl - even though you said it is primarily for the young guys/girls leaving education., this 40 yr old is getting a lot from your sage advice - I also liked the song about the xx wife! cheers mate

[Featureman]

You are the father I wish I had!

YOU ARE THE MAN!!

You have the knowledge many people would benefit from knowing, and I wish I found your YouTube videos sooner.

254 videos huh? Looks like I'll be up all night!

[Featureman]

@TheLivingDeadOne Thanks. There are many great YouTubers. Some have few viewers. I think YouTube is one of the greatest treasure mines ever uncovered.

[ahairumian]

Thank you for being such a kind and knowledgeable person. I like your honesty and philosophy how to deal with stock market. I wish you all the best!

[Featureman]

@ahairumian Thank you so much.

Over the years, I have done fairly well in real estate here in AZ up until 2007 so for the last few months I have been trying to educate myself on investing in stocks, options and etc. Of all the stuff I have come across out there... your tutorial's have been the most helpful and honest for a newbie like myself. Thanks for taking the time and breaking it down for me!

[Featureman]

Thank you. Real estate could make a nice comeback if the states and federal government will not tax it too heavily. There are many areas which still have room to grow.

[OregonCoastGhost]

I'm glad you're doing investment tutorials again.  I think that's how I first stumbled upon your channel a few years ago. Thanks!

[Featureman]

Thank you. These are interesting times.

[PremeditatedTrickery]

Also, one last question, do you know if there's a way to watch a pending stock? I'm going to want to invest in a company that applied for IPO last month (depending on the opening price) but I'm afraid I'll miss the opening. No sites allow you to watch companies that aren't on the market yet. Do you have any ideas of how to track that?

[Featureman]

@PremeditatedTrickery The IPO market is a minefield. Anyone who is lucky enough to be invited to play on opening day at the opening price is wise to sell immediately. The price goes up right away. It might go up for a week before it settles but I have never bought an IPO nor have I had any alerts about one being available for me. Anyone can buy an IPO on opening day after the price has gone up if you place a market order but you might just be buying high. Good luck.

[PremeditatedTrickery]

That makes perfect sense. So I should allow it to open, keep an eye on it and when I feel it's dipped to a level I feel would be the "low", buy at that time rather than on opening day. Thank you so much. This is all fascinating to me.

[Featureman]

@PremeditatedTrickery That would be my advice but I would look for other less glamorous stocks instead of the IPO. An IPO has no history to use as a guage. If you really know it well that is different.

[PremeditatedTrickery]

Here's a question about trends:

If you look at YUM (I'm looking on Google Finance), the chart looks like a basic stock. Ups and downs, etc.

If you look at NATH, it tends to plateau and not change for hours and days at a time.

Is there an interpretation I'd be able to get from this if I was more educated in stocks?

[Featureman]

@PremeditatedTrickery The big difference between NATH and YUM would be the volume. I did also own NATH one time. I like high volume in stocks I own. Yum also has an OK dividend. MCD, McDonald's beats them both in a five year chart and dividend wise. Keep in mind the next case of Mad Cow disease and McD goes South but it becomes a buy at that time.

[theboombody]

Yeah, it should be more about comfort than about actual money. Of course I believe God has the power to instantly make anyone who's poor rich and anyone who's rich poor. But there's not much we can do about that.

Striving to do what you like to do is the best advice. I just hope some idiot doesn't take it the wrong way thinking that he should go on welfare instead of taking a fair job in a field unrelated to his interest, with the excuse, "Job X might get in the way of my dreams."

[Featureman]

Very good observation. I hope investors understand that. Thanks.

[redshiftexperiment]

good video! Really gets one thinking of all the possibilities! I would love to make money off of songwriting. I will have to start working on my website again!

[Featureman]

Thanks. It is possible to make some money with a website but it takes some work.
