To invest into stock market or other securities is quite a very critical decision every investor should note before taking a step into ”The Bull Market” I choose to call it ”The Bull Market” because, the benefits and profits in the stock market is quite enormous. The stock market is the only business transaction that its resource is yet untapped, you stand a great chance of profiting unlimitedly in trading stock, as well as losing every thing you have worked for all your life into stock market just in a twinkle of eye.

That is the more reason why every investor should think twice and think very carefully before investing into stock market, to tell you the fact, the stock market is not for every body. The stock market is meant for people who are willing to take risk, people who have extra to spend, people who are credit free, people who are independent, people who are financially free and people who are strong and willing to stand any financial risk situation. Before you invest into stock, you need to know your self and most importantly your financial status, because stock trading is very volatile, risky and that is the more reason why you need to check your self and your background before investing your money to avoid losing your hard earned money.

Investment Plan: Every beginner needs to have an investing plan, weather you are beginning to trade/invest into stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures, forex, real estate, equity and many other financial market. You need to have a plan point of how much risk you are willing to take at the starting point, and the investing plan is ”How Much Are You Willing To Risk” on your starting point. You need to start investing from some where, but where it will not affect your financial status even if you lose your capital margin into the investment.

Before you invest your money, make sure to start with as little as you can afford to risk, that will make you not to lose all you have and at the same time, it will prompt you more opportunity to harness on the transaction to ascertain if it actually worth investing your hard earned money into such business. Dont risk investing the amount of money you can not afford to lose, all security transactions are very profiting but at the same time you can lose so much into the transactions as well.

The Beginners Target Of Investing: The target of every investor is to make profit, and by that you need to invest your money into a very lucrative and legitimate kind of transactions that will yield better interests and profits, as a beginner, you dont know the most lucrative and legitimate transactions to invest your money yet, but before you invest, make research about the business to know certain things before you jump into such transaction, but it has been proven that security investments like stock, bonds, mutual funds, equity, futures, forex and other financial transactions yields more better profits in short time investment than other investments, which is the more reason why investors are destinating to invest into financial/securities in order to reap from the untaped profiting ventures.

Because of the volatile in the security transactions, prices tend to rise over time, which gradually increasing your money to profit, in this aspect you have benefited from the investment when the prices ascends up. It can also fall over time as well as decreasing the margin of your investment, in this aspect you are losing your money into the investment when the prices descends down. Therefore, investing your money into transactions is not only to make profits but it will also give you the opportunity to make turn over of your money, which also increases the weight and value of the money you have into more strong money. However, investments requires strategies, good decisions, careful planning and patience in order to make a better returns in your transactions.

You can’t go far in today’s world without hearing something about the stock market. Unfortunately, the media take for granted that all of us in the audience understand the stock market. The good news if you don’t have a clue how to interpret all of those stock symbols running in the ticker at the bottom of your screen you’re not alone.

But that’s about to change. Below is an overview of some of things you need to know about the stock market.

Stock Market Background

The purpose of the stock market is to allow businesses to grow and to let investors have a way of earning money. Let me give you an example on a very small scale. Your child opens up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood for a week. She earns a decent profit and decides to open up a second stand at her grandparent’s house. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have enough money for the expansion. Other kids could pitch to cover the costs and receive a portion of the profits she makes.

That’s exactly what happens every day in the stock markets all over the world with thousands of different companies and millions of stockholders.

How to Invest in the Market, Stock Purchasing Guidelines

If you want to purchase stocks, you’ll want to form a relationship with a stock trader. These are individuals who work in the stock exchange, through virtual stock exchanges, or with trading software. You’ll give them your money, tell them what you want to buy, and they’ll complete the transaction on your behalf. For this service, they do receive a commission on the transactions.

Some people also use their traders for stock advice. However, you can make your own choices about which stock to buy. Obviously, the secret to making money is to purchase stock at a lower price and sell it at a higher price. That may sound overly simplistic but it’s this thinking that drives all investors.

Another idea to understand is supply and demand because this affects the prices in the market; stock prices go up and down based on this basic principles. For example, if lots of investors realize that big is happening for a company they may all decide to purchase stock in that company. That decision increases demand for that stock thus raising the price. On the other hand, if the same company has a poor financial quarter many investors may start selling off stock which means the supply is increasing and the price drops.

Earning Money from Stocks

Another question you might have is how you earn money from the stocks. As a stockholder, you receive a portion of the company’s profits. When the company determines their earnings and deduct all of their expenses, they are left with their profit. That profit is divided by the number of stockholders and each receives a portion. For example, if you own 1% of a company which generated $2 million in profit then you would earn $20,000 for your stock. If the company doesn’t make any profits, however, you don’t receive anything.

People often ask me what the secret is to buying good and cheap stocks. It seems like all of the “good” stuff that you hear everyone talking about is always priced so high. So how then do you get in on the ground level? Where most of the profit is to be made?

One instinct that people have is to buy cheap stocks. Though this allows you to get into the “game” with a higher number of stocks, you have to remember that these stocks were cheap for a reason, and certainly do not guarantee profit. For this reason, you need to make sure that when you buy cheap stocks, you make sure they have a lot of potential.

Do not purchase stocks lightly. Take each purchase very seriously, and ask yourself why you feel it is a good investment. Pay close attention to the company’s track record. Try to find if there are any concerns about the company you are looking into.

Looking at the stock’s track record is crucial. You will want to pay special attention to the stock’s EPS, sales, equity, and free cash flow growth rate. You should also take a look at the MOAT ( A moat is a protective shield that prevents other companies from invading their territories).

So when exactly, are the good stocks cheap?

You will want to keep a close eye on the market, and take advantage of these opportunities when the market is bearish, or when a good stock appears cheap because of missing data, or some other type of temporary problem that would impact the stock value.

Everywhere you look you can see the wrath of a bunch of beat up drug stocks. For a few of the ultra contrarians out there this is the time to bet the farm on undervalued drug stocks. One of the key components to watch is how much cash each individual stock generates. The whole picture says bet on the pharma group when it is trading at a low multiple of earnings, sales and cash flow. The rational behind this theory is that if one or all three of these attributes are in place then the drug pipeline of future products is one giant bonus but without any overstated price buildup around the pipeline. It’s a way to get in on the pipeline for free.

While the pharma group as a whole can be tricky to navigate it is nonetheless undervalued by many of the top analysts. When the analysts start to come out from under the rocks and start buying the group as a whole this may very well be the trigger point for the average investor to get in at or near the bottom of an undersold market. The timing for this seems to be now with many of the big stocks trading as much as 30 to 40% off there highs of last year. Buying a stock that has had no fundamental changes over the last year but is selling at a large discount seems to be a very prudent move.

In addition to the obvious undervalued plays in the market when you throw in the new drug developments some of these companies have on the horizon; the fishing indeed looks promising. There are so many new drug prospects on the market that address huge target markets that finding a pharma with a positive new release is like doubling up on the icing on a cake.

Not only are there major releases coming but there are also major changes in the way modern medicine may look at treating disease. There is a huge and successful movement under way that is called virbrational medicine. It is powerful in its techniques and becoming more accepted daily by traditional Newtonian doctors. Because our bodies consist of 99% water and the new transmitter is water the outlook for this technology is terrific. The theory of this major movement is that “less is more” and with the recent advancements and with a broader acceptance by western doctors the prospects look compelling and very promising.

Naturally if you are looking to make a move in this direction with you investing it helps to have a system that can predict these major trend moves prior to the fact. For a closer look at such a system check out AEStocks where our latest month return was 38% and our 3 month return was 83%.

Many investors identified stock investment as trading, but I identify stock investment as investing into the business of the company. Let me share how do I pick my stocks.

First I’ll do a business analysis on the companies:

Company A sold 100 million units of product A at $1. Then the next year, company A sold 120 million units of product A at $1.20 (sold more products at higher price). Company B sold 100 million units of product B at $1. Then the next year, company B sold 120 million units of product B at $0.80 (sold more products at discounted price). Which is a better company?

Looking from a profitability perceptive, Company A is a better company. This is because despite rising the price of its goods, it is still able to sell more of its product, and resulted in expansion of its profit margin. This is a sign that the quality offers by the product is of superior quality, or this is a sign that the company possess certain competitive advantages.

As for company B, it tries to sell more of its products by lower down the price of its product (giving discount), thereby attracting more customers to buy its products. There is nothing fantastic about its business and management. Does this company sounds like some of the shopping malls in your neighborhood? Some shopping malls are only crowded with people when there is sales going on, when it has no sales, the shopping malls are so much quiet.

So what kind of business or industry will consumers willing to pay a higher price and possibly buying more at the same time?

1. Iron ore & copper suppliers (CVRD, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Freeport Mcmoran, Southern Copper) Iron ore and copper supplies are mainly controlled by a few huge miner companies. So steel makers do not have much choice but end paying a higher price for the iron ore year after year.

2. Strong branding retailers (Apple) iPod from Apple costs $200 - $300 plus, somehow consumers are still willing to pay for this kind of price. Innovation is recession free, ever since Steve Jobs goes back to Apple, we have seen more and more innovative products coming out from Apple.

3. Oil rig contractors and oil services companies (Diamond Offshore, Transocean, Swiber Holdings, Schlumberger) As price of oil rises, demand for oil rigs increase as well. Oil rig contractors rise the rental of oil rigs to as high as USD600,000 a day now, and yet there are still demand for oil rigs.

4. Toll road companies (Anhui Expressway, listed in Hong Kong) If you need to drive from point A to point B, and the road that leads to point B is an expressway, you still have to go through this road even though price of toll fees increase.

5. Healthcare (United Healthcare) High price of healthcare services do not reduce the number of patients.

6. Niche industrial companies (Tai Sin, Armstrong Industrial, Yip’s Chemical, Garmin Ltd and Google) Some industrial companies that have niche technology or competitive advantage enable them to command a higher premium for their goods and services.

After identifying the industry or companies that I’m interested in, then I’ll do a financial analysis, reviewing their cashflows, debt level and valuation. I do not want to overpay a stock even though the company looks very solid.

If all looks ok, I’ll invest some first, and buy more if fundamental continues to look strong.

Bond is a debt instrument, where the issuer acknowledges debt owed to the holder and is responsible to repay the principal as well as the interest upon the maturity. Bonds are generally issued by the corporations and differ from the equity shares and stocks. Unlike, equity shares, bonds do not confer any ownership rights to the holder. Apart from corporations, bonds may be issued by several statutory bodies and even by the governments.

Bonds can be classified into four types a) Bonds issued by Federal Governments, such bonds are called ‘treasuries’ (b) Bonds issued by Government agencies. (C) Corporate Bonds (d) Bonds issued by state or local governments. Bonds are also known as fixed income securities, since they generate a pre-fixed income for their tenure. Interest payable on a bond is called ‘Coupon Rate’. Coupon rate is denoted as a percentage of par value. Tenure of bond is known as its ‘Maturity period’.

Bonds’ maturity period may range from a couple of months to several years. Another important factor to consider is ‘Par value’ which is the amount payable to holder on maturity of bond. Despite being called ‘Fixed Income security’, bonds still carry the risk of default. To counter this problem, bonds generally come with credit rating. Higher rating denotes lower risk of default.

Bonds are an extremely popular investment opportunity, with the bond market alone worth several billion dollars. Many investors dabble in the process of arbitrage where they can purchase the bonds at a discount and then collect the face value at maturity. This is actually a completely risk free way of making money from investing in bonds.

If you’re ready to invest in individual stocks, then you need to know how to analyze stocks. Thinking that a company is going to do well is no reason to blindly invest in that company’s stock. Once you’ve decided that you want to invest in a company, you need to take a look at how the company is doing, how it has done in the past, and most importantly, what it is planning to do in the future. You then need to decide if the stock is a good purchase based on the current price. Even if the company is going to grow at 25% a year for the foreseeable future, the stock price won’t be a good purchase if it’s valued like it will grow 50% a year!

The four steps to analyzing a stock are:

1. Determine how the company makes its money
2. Figure out the company’s finances
3. Analyze the future growth of the company
4. Determine whether or not the current price is a good one

Actually, before you start analyzing a stock, you have to do is figure out which stock you want to research! Let’s say that I am interested in the (imaginary) company Bill’s Brews (BBREWS) after trying their signature Bill’s Acorn Ale. I go to a finance website, such as Yahoo! Finance or CNN Money, and type their ticker symbol (in this case, BBREWS) into their stock price widget, and start to do research.
The first thing I want to find out is what all the company is all about. Many companies are diversified and do more than you may know. For example, people know that General Electric makes light bulbs, but they may not know that they also make airplane engines and have a powerful finance arm. In this case, BBREWS makes not only beer, but also a wide range of soda pop. In fact, 60% of revenue comes from soda pop, but only 10% of earnings come from soda pop. In other words, 60% of total sales money comes from sales of soda pop, but only 10% of profits. BBREWS makes much more money for every beer it sells than for every bottle of soda. This may make you more likely to invest in BBREWS, because you see that the product you like - the beer - is the one making money.

Secondly, now that you have a relatively qualitative idea of how the company makes money, you need to get a more quantitative idea. You should find out the price/earnings ratio (the ratio of the stock price to the annual earnings of a stock), the price/sales (the ratio of the stock price to the annual sales), the profit ratio of the company, and comparison numbers for other businesses in this industry. You will also want to get any other financial data from this company that you can get your hands on, but these are the most important numbers for proper analysis of a stock. Average values for these numbers will vary tremendously from industry to industry and depending on which stock sectors are hot, so to tell if the number is low or high, you really need to check out related companies in the same industry. For example, you should compare Bill’s Brews numbers to Budweiser, Boston Brewing, and Molson Coors.

Third, you should find out what analysts are thinking about this stock and read their opinions. You should also find out what recent growth rates in profits and sales have been. Check if company insiders or institutional investors, who may have a better idea of how the stock will perform, are buying shares of the stock. If a CEO thinks that the stock of his company is undervalued, he will be more likely to buy it, and if he thinks that it is overvalued, to sell it. Since the CEO probably knows more about the stock than most people, this is a good indicator that it may be undervalued. Analysts also spend long periods of time studying individual firms and finding out if they are overvalued or undervalued. You should also read news reports about the company to see if there are any catalysts for higher than anticipated growth. For example, let’s say that Bill’s Brews just won an award for “Best American Ale” this year. This may lead sales of Bill’s Brews to increase in the coming year.

Finally, now that you have determined all of this, you need to synthesize all of the data to decide whether or not the stock is a good buy. This is definitely more than an art than a science, but you should determine that the numbers you have found make a good investment. One rule of thumb is that the PEG ratio (price/earnings to growth) should be less than 1. In other words, the P/E ratio (found in step 2) should be the same or less than the annual percentage earnings growth rate. For instance, if the P/E ratio is 10 (the stock price is 10 times annual earnings) and the expected growth rate is 15% annually, the stock may be a good buy. If the P/E ratio is 25 and the expected growth rate is 10% annually, it may not be a good buy. However, this is only a rule of thumb and there are many exceptions to the rule.

Now you are ready to analyze stocks on your own. There is nothing like knowing that your investing future is in your hands, and that you will be able to determine when a stock is a good buy and when it isn’t. Good luck finding the right stock investment for you!

Bill Laboon writes economic and stock investment advice at his blog, A Geek Talks About Money

Are you weary of trusting human beings to pick stocks for you? So-called, self-styled “stock analysts” may claim to have expertise in making stock predictions, but very often, many of them they have failed to call out impending crashes. Only a few stock analysts possess the foresight to truly understand the market, because they see it at a level that the majority of other analysts do not.

With the advent of the Internet Age, computer software programs have now been written that can make stock predictions for you. They possess a capability to analyze and trend millions of data points per second, which is a feat that no army of human beings can ever hope to achieve. Based on their complex data analysis, they can generate statistically accurate extrapolations (notice I did not say “predictions”) as to what stocks, out of the hundreds of thousands available, have the highest probability of yielding the greatest return on investment in the shortest period of time.

An online stock picker is a day trader’s best friend. as it takes all of the guesswork out of picking stocks. It saves you countless hours of research. Of course, a computer cannot understand the human element that drives stock prices up and down. However, it can make mathematically precise and statistically relevant recommendations that you can use to base your decision on whether or not to buy a particular stock.

So if you are the type of investor who approaches stock investing from a strictly mathematical numbers game, then leveraging the services of an online stock picker might be the right choice for you. On the other hand, if you are the type of investor who approaches stock investing as a measure of socio-political and economic productivity and an indicator of the state of the human condition itself, then you are better off relying on the opinions of a stock analyst.

See how an online stock picker can be used to your advantage.

Although some brokers may allow you to invest as little as three dollars to execute a trade, this kind of investment is suitable only for an academic interest. These small trades allow the investors to get a feel of the online stock trading. They allow them to understand the level of freedom and flexibility that online stock trading offers.

Online stock trading, like any other business, requires a sizeable investment to become a viable source of income, more so, if you want to make it a full time source of your livelihood.

Like every other business, stock trading has its own pitfalls which may land unwary investors into trouble. Ignorance cannot be made an excuse for losses and failures.

An informed and careful planning can minimize the losses and maximize the gains. Some of the salient points that you must understand before opening an account with any brokerage firm are:

1. There are hordes of online brokerage firms that offer attractive terms to lure the customers. Some brokerage firms offer lowest trade commissions, but over- charge you on other counts such as inactive account maintenance fees. Still others may insist upon very high minimum deposits.

If a brokerage firm offers lower charges on almost every account activity, try to search out the reasons for this type of all round munificence. Either there may be some trap, or, the offer may have really genuine reason.

Some brokerage firms have lower overhead charges which they distribute to their customers. For example, most brokerage firms receive their market data on rent from the data vendors like Reuters or Bloomberg. They, naturally, transfer the costs to their clients in form of higher commission charges and so on.

There may be other brokerage firms which have some agreement with the market data vendors and save by not having to pay rent for market data. This leads to huge savings to them and they transfer these savings to their customers by charging less fees and commissions.

These inside secrets cannot be found out by cursory search. You have to devote some time and energy to thoroughly search the website of each brokerage firm before opening your account and parting with your vital financial data.

2. You may have to abide by the terms and conditions laid down by your broker as well as NYSE and AMEX market data display services. For this you are required to check the appropriate boxes at the end of each agreement. You must read these terms and conditions carefully before checking the boxes. They are not mere formalities. Ignoring to understand them may lead you into problem at a later stage.

3. If you find it difficult to do the entire search by yourself, you can hire some investment advisor. You can save a lot of expenditure over the long time by making one time payment to your investment advisor.

4. ISP services that run the online trade sometimes break down. These technological glitches cause lots of trouble at crucial moments, more especially, when you are trying to place an order. The delay in execution may cause you losses in form of increase in the price of the stock if you have placed a buy order, or, in form of decrease in price if you have placed a sell order. You suffer both ways due to delay in execution of your order. You must talk to your brokerage firm to make sure that they accept the telephone instructions to buy and sell the stock in the event of any collapse occurring in the functioning of the ISP services.

5. If you want to trade on multiple stock exchanges, says, like NYSE and NASDAQ, you must ensure that your online broker has the technical capabilities to meet your needs.

6. Trading in online stocks is always fraught with risks. Be prudent in your investments. Do a thorough research and invest in the stocks of the well-managed companies. Unless you are a day trader, hold the shares for some time and do not sell them in panic if, sometimes, the price of your stock falls suddenly. Price fluctuation is a normal feature of stock trading. In all probability the price of your stock will rise over the time.

7. Develop the habit of investing regularly irrespective of the occasional slumps in the stock market. The other alternative is to reinvest your dividends in reinvestment plans.
