This is from a website about the stock market crash of 1929:
"For every dollar invested, a margin user would borrow 9 dollars worth of stock. Because of this leverage, if a stock went up 1%, the investor would make 10%! "
I don't understand how the 10% profit was made.
How WAS the 10% profit made?
Please help! Thanks!
What if we already have stable jobs, how would the stock market drop affect us? Would there be less jobs out there if you are looking? Just curious since it's a huge thing going on right now, but if u dont currently invest in the market, how does it affect us?
Some people pick names, some do fundamental analysis, some buy short term, some buy long term, some like volatility, some don't….how do you do it? What charachter do you look for in your stocks…..cause we all know stocks go up eventually…
Mr. Buffet does not pick the BEST stock every time, in fact, he has had many loosers but like all investors/traders, he had more winners than loosers.
Making money is not about having profits in every trade, a good investor/trader can make a very good living averaging profits in 35% of their trades.
One of the most important factor of trading/investing is not so much making money in every trade, but protecting what you have. A sound money management program protect every professional trader/investor and provides them with strong financial success.
I want to know how to start an subscription e-mail newsletter that has stock option picks in them. I'm young, but I've been studying/trading stocks and options for 5 years which is long enough to know that some fundamentals dont really have an much of an effect on stocks in the short-term. I have been able to turn $175 into $800 since April though.this year from using an idea I came up with thats seems to work for me.
If you are smart you may consider buying something you can enjoy with your money because contrary to popular belief, less than 15% of Forex traders actually make money.
