The stock market can be a pretty daunting and intimidating place if you are new to the world of investing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, here we are going to break down the basics of what you need to know if you are wanting to invest in the stock market, and you don\u2019t really know where to start with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investing in stocks just means putting money into tiny shares of ownership in companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your shares are called the company’s stock, but you won’t know how much value they’ll have until after you’ve invested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can make money when others want to buy your shares from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can invest in stocks through a broker or directly with an online trading platform. If you choose to go direct, it will usually be cheaper than using a broker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you’re new to investing and don’t understand what you’re doing then you may need professional advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to use a broker, they’ll take care of all the details for you. They’ll do all the research on which companies are best to invest in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They’ll also handle any tax issues that come up as a result of your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to invest yourself, you’ll need to find out about each company you plan to invest in. You’ll need to learn about their products and services, their financials, and their management team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where you’ll get most of your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve found a few good investments, you’ll need to set up an account at an online brokerage firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve done this, you’ll transfer some cash into your account. Then you’ll start buying and selling stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you first begin to trade stocks, you’ll probably only buy small amounts of stock at a time. As you gain experience, you’ll increase your purchases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you feel comfortable enough, you’ll start looking for ways to earn more money by short-selling stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Short-selling involves borrowing shares of a company’s stock and selling them before the price goes down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you sell these shares, you hope that the price will fall so that you can buy back the shares at a lower price. Short-selling isn’t always easy because there are risks involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if the share prices rise too high, you could end up losing money<\/a> instead of making it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robo-advisors can be helpful if you want to invest in stocks without having much cash. You can get started with as little as $1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there are some risks associated with them. Brokers require more money than robo-advisors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, brokers are generally better suited for experienced investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChoosing An Investing Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
