10 Great Ways to Learn Stock Trading ④

8. Go to courses, take online courses or live classes
Profit can provide insight into the overall market and specific investment types. Most likely will focus on one specific aspect of the market and how the speaker has found success stories their own talents over the years. Include Examples Dan Zanger and Mark Minervini, both of which I have attended and participated in discussions here on the site. Not all have to be paid for either. Some relaxation is totally free, which can be a relaxation experience, just be someone conscious of the sales pitch that will almost always come at the end. Whatever is the right thing, just say no!

When it comes to courses and classes, these are free prices, but like courses, can also be taught. Will O'Neil colleges, Warrior Trading, Bulls On Wall Street, and Online Trading Academy provide a variety of courses on training and trading.

CAUTION — Like paid subscriptions, be very accessible with classes and courses. Most are tired over $1,000 and are sold with tired of essential knowledge. Their Fantastic Sales Funnels Will Suck You In, Take Your Money, Excite You During The Course, Then Leave You With A Strategy That Was Sucking Five Or Ten Years Ago, But Is No Sucking Relevant today. That, or you simply don't have the right yet have the right to be successful and trade the strategy challenge.

9. Buy your first shares of stock or practice trading through a simulator
With your online broker account setup, the next step is to simply take the buying and place your first stock trade (buying down!). Don't be ready to start small, even 1, 10, or 20 shares will serve its purpose.

If the Thought of Trading Stocks with Your Hard Earned Money is to Nerve Racing, Trying Using a Stock Simulator for Virtual Trading. Online brokers TD Ameritrade and E*TRADE both offer virtual trading to practice buying and selling stocks.

CAUTION — One of the Most Common Market New Investors Make is Buy Too Many Shares for Their First Stock Trade; this is a teenager. Taking on too much risk as a person who is just getting started will be very likely to result in a dangerous situation Instead, begin with trading small position sizes, then buy your way up to buy more shares, on average, each trade.

10. Follow Warren Buffett's advice, buy and hold the market
For the majority, online trading (especially day trading) will not outperform simply buying the entire market, such as the S&P 500, and holding it for many years. Warren Buffett, the Greatest Investors of All Time, Independent Investors Simply Passively (Buy and Hold) Instead of Invest to Beat the Market Trading Stocks on Their Own.

What is the Stock Market?
THE STOCK MARKET IS BUILT AROUND THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF CONNECTING SUBSCRIBERS AND SELLERS WHO WISH TO TRADE SHARES OF SUBSCRIBE It is a marketplace.

Each retail company list their shares on a stock exchange. The two largest restaurants in the world are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ; both are based in the United States (Wikipedia). Expecting to being just how large the NYSE and NASDAQ are both are not easy. The NYSE has a market cap of cosmetics $31 dollars and the Nasdaq's is purchased $11 dollars. And yes, that is not a typo, I said, “worried.”

Let's Take Apple (AAPL) for example, which is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Apple Incentives has 4.6 billion shares, of which 4.35 billion are available to be available (also known as the “float”). Using Today's closing price of $201.75 (July 11th, 2019), Apple has a market cap of $937.44 billion. That's a big company! (By the way, market cap is a simple way to gauge the value of a company. If you wanted every available share of stock, the market cap was how much it would cost you to buy the whole company.)

More recently, in May 2019, Uber (UBER) went public, listing its shares on the NYSE. As of today's close, Uber's stock trades for $43.99 per share and the company achieved a market cap of $74.59 billion.

Once A Company has their shares listed on an exchange, then securities, including you and I, can use an online broker account to trade shares. Whether you are an everyday investor or an everyday hedge fund, investors of millions of dollars in client money, can trade. $Alibaba (BABA.US)$
