The Wise Way Of Making Money: The Stock Market

By Johnny M Junior

When an individual intends to invest a certain portion of his hard earned money their sole intention is to reap profits. And inasmuch as this can be a good vehicle for economic emancipation it should be done so properly. On such area requiring careful planning before investment is the stock market. The market is the place where people buy shares or stocks in companies only to sell them to other buyers when the value of those shares have gone up. The stock market can be a good place to earn money to start a business or to supplement income.

The very first thing you should know is that the stock market is a very unstable arena where prices change and fluctuate several times in a week. Owing to this unpredictability it can be a risky option to invest in the stock exchange. Today a share might go for $3 and the day after the price would have gone down to $0. 50, anything can happen. With that in mind you should plan your investments carefully so that you don't lose out on hard earned money.

Having realized that the stock exchange is unpredictably uncertain you must start by investing a small amount of money before you go big. Starting small has always had the benefit of giving a good vantage point from which to observe trends and influential market forces. So once you have held stocks for a good year you can then decide on how much more to invest and in what.

Budgeting for a holiday is very much similar to budgeting for your investments. If you are on a fixed monthly income or you're operating a business, you should set aside money for stock investing once you have tallied up your expenses. All monthly expenses must first be budgeted for, and it is only with the excess that you can fiddle around with the market. Not doing so can leave you in a very uncompromising situation where you have no money left in the middle of the month.

But all your efforts will be thwarted if you attempt to invest in the stock exchange without the required basic know how. This would be like jumping into a swimming pool when you clearly don't know how to swim. Be sure to do research on the stock market and on how certain companies and shares have been performing over the years. There are monthly stock market reports and bestselling books written by professional brokers you can read to get a basic understanding of the stock market.

At the present moment it is precious metals like gold and silver that are attracting the highest prices. The price of gold per oz rose from $950 to a whopping $1200 over the past couple of months. If I were to invest right now it would surely be in precious metals.

On the other hand oil has been performing equally as well but the price might fall remarkably; such is the nature of oil trading. There are just too many market forces including politics that play a huge part when it comes to the price of oil; it might slump any time from now when people least expect it.

I would also recommend that you refrain from investing in certain things. Such examples would be ETF's and mutual/shared funds. These can be very unpredictable at times. - 23204
