stocksmarketarticles.blogspot.com Stock Market Investing Tips : Online Stock Trading Advice
It is a common experience that the retail investors are wary of the stock tips. The main reason being the experts is bias towards BUY recommendations. This is so because of the inherent business interest of the experts firm. Most of these advisory firms are also in other business which links them to the firms that they are talking about. It is but obvious that you cannot give the share tip to sell when your revenues are dependent on that same company. Its very hard to be objective when dishing out stock tips. In Indian share market it is more so because many advisory firm are siblings of the same group. A group which runs a bank also runs a securities or brokerage wing. Can you imagine security analyst of that firm talking negative about the functioning or stock of that bank. This is where the very objectiveness required in providing stock tips gets buried. What we get are therefore more than 95% buy calls. And therefore the market even never teaches the retail equity investor to short the stock or the market. So the BIG names in Equity advisory are there for their own business interest and are compelled to forget the retail, small investor. They are competent but the intent is missing.
What are the alternatives for retail equity investors?
The best is to become a pro or at least an amateur analyst on own. Technical analysis of stocks or fundamental analysis is an art and science which can be learnt, no doubt. But the effort is required. This handicaps many.
The second best alternative is to find a stock advisory service that is doing nothing else. Most probably it would be a smaller firm. But they will maintain the objectivity required for a retail stock tip. What really needs to be confirmed is their competency. Now, how to go about it?
Most of these firms publish their accuracy reports. Secondly most of them publish their daily, weekly and monthly calls on their websites. One needs to track them for a month and so and then get attached with them. The fees they charge are small. The risk is not the fees but the money you will loose because of wrong stock tips . Here your tracking of their website plays the major role.
In addition one can also look into their other reports and publications. What else is on the site? How intense is the research? How much they update. The updating speaks volume of their team. The quality of other reports does the same. How innovative their other reports are. Are they doing some things different for retail clients or they are one among equals?

Mutual funds. Your money is safe there.

My advice is to first learn the difference between investing and gambling. Second, don't be swayed by the ads you see that promise returns they can't deliver. Third, focus on avoiding a big mistake rather than going for the big payoff; slow and steady wins the race. A single large loss can wipe out all your other gains. Investors bid up the prices of stocks based on their expectations of the future risk and return. If a stock looks like a low risk, the price goes up, lowering the return. If a stock looks like a high risk, the price goes down, increasing the return. If you think that you can find the exception to that rule and find the stocks that are underpriced for their expected risk and return, you are a value investor. That's a nice name for what professionals do, but when amateurs think they can do it, it's usually a sign that they don't really know how things work. Buy an ETF based on a broad market index. If you want to increase your risk and return, pick the NASDAQ, which has a lot of technology stocks in it. I've put three good books in my source to start educating yourself. My fourth suggestion: buy low and sell high. Everybody knows that, right? But when the stock market drops and you're ready to sell everything and put it into something safer, you're selling low. If the market drops, only sell if you think it will drop more. In most cases, a drop in the market is an opportunity to buy. If you don't have the stomach for that, don't buy stocks.

It is difficult to give you personalized advice as I don't know what country you live in and don't know what investment choices you have. My money is diversified in several ways. I own blue-chip stocks that pay dividends, stocks that I hope will pay off, bonds, REITs and mortgages. In the last couple of years the bonds and mortgages have generated the best return. There are stocks that combine real estate holdings and generate a monthly return. Take a look at NNN http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NNN which has a return of just over 5%. In Canada, we have a TFSA account that generates returns on which I do not pay income tax. Keeping the income tax money is better than receiving a great return. Rather than risking your money on one stock that you hope will pay off, put your money into ETFs which give you greater diversification and therefore less risk. A couple to look at are: XLV - Health Care (we are all getting older and using more health care) XLE - Energy XLF - Financials.

Place funds into two stocks from different sectors like technology and a regional bank. You can decide what your sectors should be. Personally, I own shares in McDonald's and Abbott Labs, which meet my objectives of of being diversifed to a degree. A word of caution: $ 15,000.00 is really a small amount of money to invest in the stock market. I would consider placing your money in a domestic growth fund. Really cannot help with your question about obtaining additional funds to invest. I think most of the posters would agree that it is not a very good idea to borrow money to expand your investment plans. Without knowing your age, I would consider seeking a job in the financial industry to learn the practical side of investing. Oh, your investment stratgey should take your age into account. Less risk as you age.

Most people who are just starting out will go with mutual funds. By buying a mutual fund you can own a diverse variety of stocks all at once and don't have to worry about picking your own stocks. Stock-picking is really only for the do-it-yourselfers who have a lot of time and interest in learning how. There are also mutual funds that invest in bonds. Bonds are loans where you earn interest based on the market rate. Generally bonds are much more stable, but tend to earn lower long term returns that the stock market. For example the stock market might be up 20% one year and then down 15% the next, while bonds might be up 6% and down 2% the next, but over the long run (20 years or more) stocks tend to end up with higher overall returns. A popular mutual fund company is Vanguard. They are one of the largest and are a low-cost leader in mutual funds. Their funds are really diversified, so your returns are likely to be similar to the broader stock market as a whole. Check out there website and contact them if you want to open an account. A representative will be happy to assist you. https://personal.vanguard.com/us/whatweoffer/mutualfundinvesting You have enough money that it might be worthwhile talking to a professional investment adviser. Look in your phone book or look around online. I would strongly suggest going with an independent fee-only (non-commissioned) adviser rather than a stock broker as the commission can create a conflict of interest. Be sure to shop around, ask about fees, track record, background, education, credentials. CFA, and CFP are good designations. It can also be helpful to talk to friends and family about who they work with and see if you can get a good referral. Feel free to contact me if you want more details.
