Buying Stocks ?

[gizmo42]

oo im sorry >_> i don't do stocks myself so i really don't know how much they are selling for..  sorry!

Go on Etrade and there you can see how much they are selling for. Penny Stocks might be a good start for you.

I really think it depends on what stocks you're thinking about buying and how long you plan to keep them. If you can find a good stock that you feel will be around for a long time and potentially have a raise in the stock price, then it's a good deal, but don't buy into some random company that you're not confident that it will be around for a long enough time for you to actually make money off of it.

I think the stock market is like gambling. I took a business class where we had to pick a stock and watch it throughout the semester and then we had to right a report about how our's did and if we lost money or made money. mine made money and it was really fun. I wish I could afford to buy stocks.

Look into the penny Stocks that would be the best way to start just to get your feet wet. Just an idea go under pink sheet

Penny stocks by nature are much riskier than regular stocks.  I think anyone starting out needs to stay as far away from those as possible.  Most would be better served to buy a shares in a index fund, or some type of mutual fund.

        I heard Facebook will be offering some public stock for sale during the month of May. What I do not know: Is it going to be worthy to invest in this type of stock?

hmm! thanks! i will google this!   this feels "slightly" like gambling though.. .

Yes it is the best time to buy stock cause it is at a low but you need to be willing to keep that money locked up for a while ( a couple years). With the unemployment rate going down in recent years it is a good time to buy because eventually the stock market will be booming again! I personally have invested into Coinstar inc ( they own coinstar, redbox, greent dot master card , and a money transfer company) I have been in with them for a little over a year and its been a good investment and with redbox being the #1 pyshical dvd rental in the nation it will go great a great deall this year.. also i invested in a phram. company, and this week i will be investing in ford ( Only company that did not ask for bailout and still doing great!! But before you invest i would do research on the compnay you want to invest in and their competitors!!

I have had no problems with the penny stocks. I think there is nothing wrong with them. They are a bit risky but isn't everything we do risky in life.

  Took my $$$$$$ out of stock to try and remodel my house.  Had to have a new roof and a drain field - alas.  However, I was not interested in leaving it in there - some folks may be able to still make money but I just don't have the stamina for it and my father in law always said you have to be in it for the long haul and I just couldn't invest the time - Good luck and fortune to all you folks that do dabble in the stock market.

Yes he is right I my selfe just leave it in there and when the opportunity approaches I cash in. You have to be in it to win it.
