Some terms explained for you:

What is stock investing?

A company floats shares in the market when it needs more money to invest into the market. When you buy the shares you are investing that much money into the company's business. A group of shares is called as stock. Since the company will earn profit from the business, and you also have a share in the business, the company gives you a share of the profit too, proportional to what you have invested in the company, i.e. the number of shares you hold. This is how in this type of investment you just invest money and it kind of grows by itself, without needing you to put your labor in its growth.

What is stock trade?

Well, having known about investing, one question that might arise in your mind is about stock trade. Well, since the profitability of a company dictates the demand of its shares among the buyers. If a company is more profitable, its share price will rise and if it looks less profitable the demand and consequently the prices will decline. Now, since the economy of most of the companies fluctuate most of the time, the demand of the shares also keeps swinging. Thus, the prices also keep fluctuating. And whatever can be bought and sold at different prices can be traded. When you buy shares high and sell them low, you make a profit. Else, you incur a loss in the trade. This is the basis of the trade.

What are stock brokers?

The trading in share market needs paperwork and other formalities to be fulfilled. A broker helps you in this and also maintains your financial portfolio. But the main function a broker performs in the trade is, he suggests to you where to make the investment and where not to. This is the reason why he is one of the deciding factors when you trade. For their services, the stock brokers charge some commission. Now, the more expert a broker is, the more commission he charges. While selecting a broker, therefore, you must be careful about balancing the commission with the quality you need.

Answer 3

I´ve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich.

If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of financial success, long term stock investing and FOREX can help you become much richer than you are today.

My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of several brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader and private hedge fund manager, I can suggest you that:

We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis. We want to cash flow the market. Milk it like a cow.

Make consistent, small, short term gains rather than trying to hit a home run on every trade. Don't ever forget that.

Don't marry a stock, marry the idea of making money trading stocks. That's the only way to do it.

For me "All stocks are equally worthless”

I don't hold on to any illusion that the stock market will continue to go up and provide a nice retirement for me.

I could care less which way the market goes. It's irrelevant to me if the market goes higher, crashes or moves sideways for the next 50 years. I really could care less. Stocks are just four letters with two prices next to them that I use to make a living trading.

Trade ONLY when you have a clear, easy and identifiable advantage, because without a CLEAR EDGE your odds of success are NO better than a flip of a coin… That´s why so many new traders (and investors) lose money.

Take a look at any daily chart of any index or stock and you'll probably see the most volatility and the biggest opportunity for profit during the first Hour of the stock market's opening.

The popular thinking and conventional wisdom is that you should wait about an hour before you start trading.

But if you do, you'll miss the big, fast moves that stocks make as all the amateurs let their emotions out through their

online accounts, usually right after they read some news headline or hear Maria Bartiromo go off about a stock on CNBC.

It's easy to see why trading the open is the market's prime time for profiting from other online traders.

The market's open is very volatile - that is the perfect environment for LARGE, FAST profits.

Learn to trade as a professional Market Maker ,not as an emotionally driven amateur trader or investor with few thousand dollars in an account at Etrade.

There isn't any other time during the day or any stock you can invest in, that can make you 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or more points

in minutes OTHER than during the first hour the stock market is open. That's why I love trading the open so much.

I trade only when I have an edge and that means "only the first hour the market is open".

If you are a beginning trader, you can give yourself an unfair advantage in the market trading this way.

I can carry on with the advises about how to make money trading, but if you ask me:

"What is the best thing you can do for me?

I will say:

Give yourself a BIG favor and go to this "Top Secret" site and learn how to get the BEST stocks that will make the largest and fastest day trading profits you´ve ever seen, all by yourself...

www.onehourtrading.com

After you review this site you won´t need system, strategy, book, software or mentor to tell you what to do,

you will be able to profit HUGE every day.

Good luck and good trading,
