Are you well-versed with regard to the stock market? How well do you understand the terms, the objectives, the players, the processes? Do you engage in the stock market? Why or why not?

You only can understand the stock market when you knew you don't understand it. I invest in the stock market and I may say I'm doing it quite well,but I knew that I knew nothing. Of course you must know what the price is of the company you want to invest in it,what are the results?,the highest and lower price last year? But the most important rule is you have diversify and in the long term shares of good company's gives exellent profits but in the short term they could fall,when everybody looks on this long term profits and want to invest in it,this long term could be too long,when everybody looks on the risk on the short term,this risk isn't too much risk and the long term is pretty near. That is something you have to understand about the stock market.

I'm not very good when it comes to the stock market! I've never tried engaging in it before, but I'm definitely interested in trying it sometime. I haven't done it yet because I want to learn more about it first so that I feel a little more comfortable with it.
