• How does online stock trading work and what is the best place to do it?

  I really want to invest in a company I think will do really well but I don’t know how to buy its stocks. I have looked at E-trade but I don’t get how much it is per trade
  . Thanks

    Good luck with your company that you’re looking to invest in.

    I thought you might like to know some of the typical mistakes new investors make, so that perhaps, you can save yourself from losing lots of your money.

    1. Never invest in anything you don’t understand.
    2. Never invest on "tips".
    3. Never look to any stock to a "make a killing" on.
    4. Don’t invest in penny stocks (stocks under $5.00) until
    you have at least 5 years of investing experience.
    5. Always have an "exit plan" before you take a position. Always have stops. Never ignore your stops.
    6. Understand "risk" and your ability to react appropriately to draw-downs.
    7. Never buy a stock because you;
    Hope,
    Expect,
    Know,
    Wish
    or believe it can’t lose

    8. Don’t invest until you understand each of the following terms;
    Stop
    Buy Stop
    Trailing Stop
    Limit order
    Market Order
    Time Horizon
    Asset Allocation
    Diversification
    No-Load
    Position Sizing
    Money Management (as it relates to taking positions and stops and buy stops).

    Good luck

    You have to open an account before you can buy stock.

    This website has a list of brokers that you can use.

    I invest with Etrade. The service is fantastic, but the trade rates, $12.99 per for a sale or purchase, are higher than I like.

    However, I make use of a checking account, Debit Card and Investment tools, so in the long run I am pleased.

    You might look at the following websites:

    Zecco.com
    Tradeking.com
    Scottrade.com

    There are many others.

    I would suggest you to do some research and homework before investing shares in the safe bet and that will avoid you in losing money especially when you don’t know where you are going or where to start. That way will save you a lot of time and money by gaining more knowledge and anaylzation and this will be beneficial for you in the long run so become an expert yourself rather than always relying on someone by asking questions like “which stocks should I invest in that will make a profit?”, “which stock will rise or fall next Monday?”

    Instead, why not self study yourself?

    I would highly recommend either one of the following 2 sites (or both) that actually teaches you the secrets in stock trading and one of them is seen in CNN news and both sites have 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE so you definitely got nothing to lose here!

    1) http://tinyurl.com/3xrvak

    and\or

    2) http://tinyurl.com/3×8zux

    Start reading them and hope you will be smart and start making money!!

    When you done so or have already got some knowledge, you can start trading online here
