How to Get Started in the Stock Market
Summary
If you're looking to grow your finances, you might be considering high-interest savings accounts, bonds, or the stock market. While the stock market offers the potential for quick profits, it's also the riskiest. To minimize risk, it's crucial to be well-informed about stock investments.
Understanding Stock Market Trades
1. How Trades Work
To start trading, you need a stock broker. Full-service brokers offer expert advice but charge higher commissions. For a more cost-effective option, consider discount brokers. While they offer fewer recommendations, most ensure trades are profitable.
2. Brokerage Services
Brokers often provide online trading platforms and can assist with your trades. Options like Interactive Voice Response Systems for phone orders and wireless trading via mobile devices are available. Brokers are always connected to facilitate trades efficiently.
3. Tracking Market Movements
Many brokers allow clients to place orders online, often providing special software for viewing charts and graphs. This secure, password-protected system saves time and money, making it a convenient option for investors.
Understanding Stock Orders
- Market Order: Buy or sell at the current market price.
- Stop Order: Execute the trade at a specified price.
- Limit Order: Trade at a specified price or better.
- GTC (Good Until Cancelled): The order remains active until you cancel it.
Typical Trades
Most trades occur in "round lots," which are multiples of 100 shares. Although you can trade different amounts, known as "odd lots," they can be slightly more challenging to execute. Trading software can handle both types, ensuring flexibility in your transactions.
By understanding these fundamentals, you will be better prepared to navigate the stock market and make informed investment decisions.
