Yes, and that is why I have decided to leave the investment to the
company
managing my retirement money -- I once decided to try day trading, got
an
account on an investment site and took out an IRA to invest for
starters. I
started getting all this email on good stock picks -- I mean, companies
I
never heard of, penny stocks, etc. I bought a bunch of shares on one
and
made $300 in a week and was feeling good about that -- but then I got
involved in other things and left it sitting, and in the end when I
went
back, the company had gone belly up and I lost the entire amount.
So if you don't spend a good amount of time researching you can get
bitten.
I chose to let someone else spend the time...
That is my warning to anyone starting.
Happy stock picking...

Hi Black: Right on. Read, learn and practice for at least a year before
plopping any real mony down. There are real dangers out there and those
guys
are looking for beginners who understand a little about how the market
works
and Financials and Business Processes. They feast on these folks!
The one truism in it all is, you stand to make a return based on how
much
risk you are willing to take. That is if you can believe the Financials
and
the folks putting them out for the various companies. That is where
history
and reputation comes into play. There are the day traders as well and
they
don't care anything about a company, tnot what it does or what their
Balance
Sheet looks like or if they even post one, just how the stock price and
volume appear according to a chart or how it is trending in daily
trading if
they use automated trading platforms.
I think it is a very good thing for young folks to invest because they
can
see massive positive results over their working lives but they need to
be
careful, do their homework and pick stocks, bonds, real estate and, or
funds
carefully and keep informed about what is going on with every
investment
periodically.Black, you should join the blindfinance list as well if
you are
an investor since there are some pretty experienced blind folks
floating
around there.
It is usually a very quiet list unless someone has a question about
something.

You don't university education for investing is true, but you need
education for investing this is also true.
So, if you don't have the oportunity to learn those things in the
university, you must take in your own hands the trouble with educate
your
self in that direction.
Depends what you want to do.
If you want let other to play with your money, you can go on the
mutual
funds way.
The is a little risk, but the gains are on the same way, small.
If you want to manipulate your own money and you want this if you want
to
earn much, you must be financial educated. You must know to interpret
financial statements, to compute interests like roa, roe etc.
To be business educated, to understand business processes.
For example, when a company fires employees, the productivity
temporarily
encrease and so the stock price.
Best way to go, is to financial educate and business educate, to test
your
skills in a real environment, but only to simulate, not to play real.
After I will start a small business, I would encrease it, go with it
public and finally sell it.

Nonsense! There is absolutely no reason for a University Education
to
invest in the Stock market.
It might help with technical analysis or fundemental analysis but 99
percent of investors invest in commercially available products or
pick
stocks based on recommendations or other things. ETFs, Funds and
Mutual
funds are the only way to go for a small investor and they pay many
thousands, millions, to people who have the formal Education to pick
individual stocks.

A college course on Investing is going to be your best bet for
several
reasons. A course on consumer awareness would be a fine prerequisite
along with a year of statistics to that investment course.
Publications
that teach you how to read and interpret a balance sheet will come in
useful along the way too. Anything else you do outside of a college
setting will be aimed at sales and have their own agendas to push.
Young students traditionally haven't got much to invest so the sales
pitches tend to get turned off when that crowd gets taught.
