Success Through Investing In The Stock Markets.

Learning The Fundamentals.

 
Making A Living Investing / Trading Stocks
 
Learning to make money and actually make a living investing / trading the financial markets can be fascinating. It is actually easier than you would think. Specially because these days you can open a brokerage account with very little money. You can start small if you want to. If you are a typical working person or a beginning investor, you can begin with as little as $500.00 or $1,000.00 and add to it as you earn and save more money. Learn how to invest in stocks today.
I believe that most people that have a desire to succeed in life, regardless of profession, education, background, or economic position, can easily learn to trade stocks. Many people who dabble in stocks either have mediocre results or lose money because of their lack of knowledge, but no one has to lose money.  You can definitely learn to trade / invest wisely.
 
All you need to get started is of course a little bit of funds, a computer,  investors.com on your side, some technical analysis software like Worden. com and if you want to really unlock your possibilities Steve Nisson's knowledge on Candlestick charting to find out before the crowd the reversal signals of the market and maximize your profits. With these easy steps you will become a successful investor.
 
People always ask me, How do I get started learning about the stock market?   My response has always been, Learn the fundamentals of the markets and individual stocks first. One of the best places I have always found a wealth of information is Investors.com . They have an electronic version of probably the best resource of information for getting a feel of the market and also for learning to identify the best long term stocks. These provides you with investment stratagies and investment advisors to ask questions to. You can also get a paper version of it called Investors Business Daily Newspaper.  The founder William J. O'Neil has also written numerous books that are sure to give the best foundation you can have to get started making money in the stock markets. 
There are many other tools available, but I trully believe that this is all you need to succeed. I am a huge believer in education. So, I would recommend reading any good book you can find on investing. Start trading with these tips and get those stock trades going. See below the recommended reading list.
 
 

Find Out When To Buy And When To Sell.

 
“ He who is well prepared has won half the battle.” (Japanese proverb)
 
Many people achieve financial independence through investments in the financial markets.
It was a huge eye opener for me when I learned about what is possible in the financial and stock markets. I learned to leverage a small amount of money and turn it into something very significant. It was mind bogling to learn that you could make money when stocks are going up or down or even if stocks don't go anywhere.
Anything is possible with a little dedication in the stock markets. This is not for everybody though. The best advise I can give you is, learn from the best. Someone that has the best tools available. Someone that will show you how to determine when to buy or sell any stock or currency?
Someone that will teach you the ins and outs of the markets?. There are many people that get started in this game and fail within a short period of time because they don't get the right tools.
 
I attended many seminars and educated myself as much as possible to get the upper hand. I learned that most of the big boys had access to some of the best tools  from the  world renowned guru Steve Nisson. He is the master at reading Candlestick Charts and combines the Japanese indicators with Western Indicators to get a very educated guess of where the markets are going. In addition I learned to read all the early signals the markets give you to identify major moves. In my humble opinion, It is very essential that you at least investigate and learn about reading candlestick charts. I cannot think of a better person than STEVE NISSON to give you this essential knowledge. He has put together some awesome videos that you can watch at your leasure and absorbe all of that knowledge that will be essential to your success.
Get the right tools to achieve success investing in the markets from the master himself. The one that big corporations rely on for technical analysis of the markets.

Join The Big Leagues.
 
Now that you have learned about the fundamentals and you know how to find the best stocks, you have learned about technical analysis to figure out support and resistance of stocks, you also know how to identify the trend of a stock or index, and hopefully also learned the techniques from Steve Nisson's programs, you are ready to join the big leagues.
What I mean by this is that you may be ready to explore how to make money in Stock Options. What is an option? It is the right to buy or sell a specified amount of a security (Stocks, Bonds, Futures Contracts, Etc.) at a specified price on or before a specified date (American Style Options).  Options gain or lose value as the stock goes up or down.
 
Learning to invest or trade using stock options can completely change the game for you.  I believe that anyone that is involved in trading needs to at least set aside a small part of their portfolio to trading stock options. You may also consider trading options on ETF’s (Exchange Traded Funds) like to the QQQQs for instance.  This is  a derivative of the NASDAQ.  In some ways these are easier to predict.
When you trade stock options you can really leverage your money and instead of making say 10% on your money you may be able to double or triple your money.
Can you see why options can be so powerful?  Some money managers will tell you that options are risky. You will hear this from those who do not want you to understand options because the more informed you are as an investor the less business they get.   When you really do the math you will find that you can make a lot more money and have less risk when you use options as your investment / Trading vehicle.
 
Let me give you an example, say you buy 100 shares of XYZ stock. You paid $44.50/share. This means you invested $4,450.00. If your stock goes up $3.00. This means you made $300.00 which is the equivalent to 6.7% gain on your money. 
If you had purchased a Call Option at a strike price of $44.00 instead of buying the stock out right you most likely would have paid about $3.50/share for a total investment of $350.00. If the same stock went up $3.00, your option would have gained value at about .75 cents for every dollar the stock went up. This means that if you paid $3.50 for your option, this option is now worth about $5.75/share. If you sold it at this point you would be selling it for $575.00. The gain on your money would be $275.00 or the equivalent to 91.7% . I am not kidding. This is not a mistake. What is better 6.7% or 91.7% gain on your money?.  Do you see the power of stock options now? This is how many people can make a great living trading options in the stock markets using a small amount of money.
Let’s now look at the risk in this transaction, if you bought the stock your risk was $4,450.00. If you bought the option, your risk was only $300.00. Do you see how you can make so much more money with options with less risk?
 
It is definitely a little more complicated to trade options, but when you consider the difference in your profits potential on Stock Options vs. the stock, is it worth the effort?  I will let you answer that question. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OPTIONS TRADING.
 
My intention is not to teach you how to make money in options. My intention is just to plant the seed so you can study and learn how to trade options effectively. I recommend that you read up and study as much as possible before you put your money at risk. Most brokerage companies offer you ways for you to do simulated trading so you can practice before you trade with real money.
There are some great books you can get to learn the ins and outs of stock options. I will provide you a great list in the recommended reading section.
I hope I was able to illustrate clearly the benefits of trading stock options and encourage you to learn as much as possible. 
 
 

Learn Technical Analysis The Easy Way.

 
If you'd like to discover the unlimited earnings potential you can have trading / investing in the stock markets, you're going to need some tools in order to be successful. One of the best tools you can get to study the markets that I have just absolutely loved since I first started to invest / trade the markets back in 1998 is an exceptional software program produced by The Worden Brothers.   Back in the 90's this software used to be called TC2000 or Telechart 2000. Since then they have added many features and enhancements to the software that allow you to research any stock trading in the major markets very easily. It is very user friendly. If that wasn't enough, they have put together a series of training videos that will teach you some of the tricks to figure out the trend of the markets or catch it before the masses figure it out.
I have been what's called a "Trend Trader". This is a short term trading strategy that can be very lucrative if you can figure out the trend of the market or the specific stock you are following. I found that there is no better software than the Worden Brothers software to help you figure out where the market is going.
The learning resources they have are enormous. In addition they have FREE live traing classes throughout the United States. So, it doesn't matter where you are, they will most likely have a live training class near you.
