College students can invest at stock market?

Question

I heard you need a lot of free time to invest at the stock market.I'm studying business and thinking to invest at stock market.Do you believe is it possible to handle both in one day?Of course some days pay more attention to college and other days to the stocks

Answer 1

Yes college students can and should invest



I started in the market at the age of 11 (using a custodian account), invested and traded through both high school and college, so yes you can do both.



Before you enter into any transaction, you should first know what you’re doing, why you are doing it and how to do it and the rules relating to what you are doing.



Before you invest in any security, the first investment you should make is in yourself, and the best investment you can make is by educating yourself.



Start your education by learning why you should invest and the importance of being able to make your own decisions or how the pro’s make theirs.

Get into the habit of making daily visits to some websites like MSN Money and Yahoo Finance. (http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp , http://finance.yahoo.com/ . While at MSN following the strategy lab analysts to get a feel for what the pros are doing and why. This site has some basic information for beginners. If any site offers free information, take it.



Other website that can provide instructions and help with procedures and terminology are Investopedia - http://www.investopedia.com/ Stock Charts - http://stockcharts.com/

http://www.investorshub.com/ http://www.1source4stocks.com/,

http://www.tradingstocksguide.com/tradin…



Visit some of the more professional websites like Zacks - http://www.zacks.com/

Smart Money - http://www.smartmoney.com/ Schaeffer’s

http://www.schaeffersresearch.com/ Some of these web sites will have advertisers who are worth looking into also. And remember, if they offer free information, get it.



Attend all the free seminars you can, just be careful and don’t get pressured into anything you really don’t want or need. Most schools offer courses in finance and economics, but very few will have courses on the mechanics of the investment markets, if they do try taking the course. You may want to consider on-line courses, the New York Institute of Finance use to have such courses. Try to get some fee information from the stocks exchanges they all have (had) free booklets, SIAC and some of the regulators (FINRA SEC MSRB CBOE) may provide some free literature.



You at least have made the right decision to start investing, this is the first big step and it won’t be your last. Keep taking those steps forward and along the way never take the advice from people that are not in the market or try to tell you not to invest.



Good luck on your journey

Answer 2

So..

Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. They are notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk. This is the site I use: http://pennystocks.toptips.org



I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had. I especially like that he doesn't send out announcements left and right. I've signed up for other websites that fill my in-box with one company after the other. I don't know where to even start with so many choices in front of me! Nathan sends me one idea a week and that's all I need. Working so many hours during the week leaves me with very little time when I get home to start doing tons of penny stock research. I'm always eager to see what Nathan's next suggestion is each Friday and I love having time on the weekend to do my research.



As said above if you want to make money with penny stocks you have to follow some proven methods. This one in my opinion is the best: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

Answer 3

With penny stocks you can make 30 percent or 40 percent profit in a few days. Learn here https://tr.im/z1EXT



The best strategy, if you do have experience type of return on a penny stock, is to sell the stock quickly.



Of course, it’s easier said than done. The natural thing to want when you see an increase in stock price is to hold the stock and hope for an even larger increase.

Answer 4

ok, ok, what is your plan for investing in the stock market? do you intend to buy and hold or trade? are you looking for short term gains or long term gains? something cheap.- The problem with cheap is that it may not be around for long. what you need to be concerned about it Gains in % to your float. as an example a long term investor is doing well if they make 10-15% per year. so as means that with your $5000 that you may get about $500-$750 in the first year. Best thing i can tell you is to read books and study websites about investing or Trading!! and dont go for "Systems" with promises of HUGE Gains, they are far riskier then they make out.

Answer 5

In binary options you will have the possibility to predict the movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs, commodities and indices. Learn how you can make money trading binary options https://tr.im/4CMvI

An option has only two outcomes (hence the name “binary” options). This is because the value of an asset can only go up or down during a given time frame. Your task will be to predict if the value of an asset with either go up or down during a certain amount of time.

Answer 6
