Investing Stock Market or Trading Stock Market

[makie]

There are a lot of great sources of information online. I learned a lot about stock investing and trading online (the basics at least). You don't need tons of knowledge if you would just invest. Knowing how the stock market works and what companies to invest in is more than good enough, time is your greatest ally on this one.

However, when it comes to trading, I think that we really need to learn from experience, be it our own or from others. We also need the help of experienced traders especially when it comes to market analysis. Trial and error might do but it isn't practical, you'll lose a lot of money by experimenting.

Never engage in trading not unless you you're equipped.

@jamex - directly into stocks, not yet as i haven't had the time to study the ins and outs yet... more on basic pa lang ako-a... but my MF-structured investment (VUL) is stock-based. So, basically, i'm learning through there pud... I started it like 3 years ago... and i'm happy with the result... i've been wanting to start investing directly into stocks, i haven't found the time pa lang jud.. nag-open na gud ko ug citiseconline account but too bad, wala pa jud ko ka-start investing jud... ganahan ko mu-try on how it is to trade... ang thread about trading is quite lengthy na, so medyo taas2x ang akong apason ug basa... hehe

@honey2723

Bro, maybe this will give you an idea on things.

Warren Buffett currently 3rd wealthiest man in the world, INVESTS in stocks, his mentor Benjamin Graham discourages Trading Stocks.

By the way first is Carlo Slim Helu, followed by Bill Gates then you have Warren Buffett...^_^

To each of his own. Some people might feel that engaging in the stock market just suits them right and there are some who feels otherwise. As much as there are a lot of people who got so wealthy through the stock market, there are also a lot who became financially well off without doing so. There are a lot of ways to get wealthy, it just so happened that investing and trading in the stock market is one of them (and probably the most convenient IMO).

ayay, kat-on2x na si wizard_jamex o.

I suggest you start opening your own broker account, dili pa nimo mahibaw-an dayon kung unsay gusto nimo, investor ba or trader. Dinha na nimo ma-feel kung asa jud mo-fit para nimo.

During your engagement sa market, mag-sige pa ka paling2x ana kung asa ka, long term investor, swing trader, day trader.. But later on, imo na makita unsa jud ka nga type.

Murag pokemon ba, naay fire type, water type, grass type.. hehehehe

Always been interested in investing, but does anyone know where we can actually invest? And how does it work (the purchasing of the stocks themselves)? Virtual or over the counter?
