Newbie Investing in Stock Market

[enoveso]

---

I would like to share what little I know about investing in the stock market and also hope to attract input from the more experienced investors out there. I currently work in IT Park as a marketing exec, and I am not connected to any broker except as a client. I have started investing in the stock market only last year. My goal is to grow a lot of money for my retirement. I consider myself in the middle-income bracket and I don't want to retire poor, so I am investing my extra money.

Everybody has heard about the stock market but very few actually understand it. One of the surprising things I've learned just last year is that investing in the stock market doesn't take a lot of money. You can buy many stocks for 5 thousand pesos or less. And even though there is a lot of complicated analysis and math involved, the fundamentals really are just simple.

Buy low and sell high. That's it.

If you have idle money and you won't need it for a long period. Try the stock market. What do you think?

Hi there, It sounds like you have experience with this matter so you are entitled to your opinion.

Its not that it sounds cool, it is cool, who does'nt want to have a better shot in getting rich

than winning the lotto, though I dont have any experience investing in the stock market yet as I am

still studying the process and looking for a mentor who would be able to guide me. I do believe

though it is one of the channels where one can use to attain their goal to be financially free.

For some of us who doesn't have enough money to invest in the stock market, we have created another way of allowing our money to grow. Simple ra cya, we call it Sinking Fund. We are composed of mothers, fathers, even young people of our sitio. Members are entitled to have as many shares as he/she wants. Each share requires a payment of 100 pesos a week, so if you have 5 shares, then you have to give 500 pesos a week. Those who borrow from the Sinking Fund will be charged an interest. At the end of the year, the money you have given will be returned as well as the interest accumulated will be divided among the members proportionately according to the number of shares. Believe it or not, our money grew by more than 20%. This is just to give you an idea..

Too risky for me... I'm quite conservative on my investment. Though, "secure" investments gets low payout but on occasion you get BIG. You just need to invest at the right time along with a little patience, everything will go ok.

if your still a newbie, i suggest you dont invest in stock market..there are a lot of risk there..its actually not safe like what other said..take it from me..you can invest in stocks if your already stable with your financial capability.stocks are good but since i know your still small,invest in something you have total control..im not playing safe,im playing to win..and thats what it should be.. if you want stocks to be a vehicle to be rich,it will be, but not now that your still a newbie.

if your afraid of creating mistakes and learning from them, keep your job and be an employee forever and invest in safe investments like mutual funds ..thats playing it safe..but i suggest play to win....
