Stock Market Tips For Beginners

By Sharon Demeter

Learning how to navigate the stock market might be intimidated to someone just starting out. Even though many of us have lost money, there are those that are becoming interested in the market for the very first time. With the Dow being the lowest it has been in a long time, these people are probably thinking that now might be a good time to get on board. Anyone new to stock investing should know though, that just because the market is low doesn't mean it can't go lower.

You don't have to feel like it too intimidating to get into the stock market. If you want to know how to buy stocks, you should know that you could open an account and start buying online without ever talking to any human person. So, if you feel intimidated by all the market jargon and are hesitant to get involved, you should know that it is quite easy.

When you open a stock account online, it is not much different from opening up any other type of account. You will need to supply all your information such as a user name, password, address, and in this case a social security number. After that, all you have to do is fund your account by sending money in and then you can start buying stock with the click of your mouse.

If you want to learn about buying stocks before you try the real thing, one of the best ways is to join a fantasy online stock trading game. There are several of these games online where you can trade stocks that you buy with virtual fake money. These games will teach you how to buy and sell stocks and how to manage a portfolio. Nothing is ever like the real thing but this is a great way to learn about stocks and how to research them. These games are free unless you want some of the upgrades that you have to pay for.

It is important to remember for beginners that they can lose money in the stock market. Once your first stock is purchased, it can go down just like we have seen in the last year and a half. That is perhaps why it is scary because you know that your money is in play and you can lose if your stock goes down. However, it should be noted that the stock market has been a historically good place to invest and beginners should remember that. - 23218
