I need some serious help with stocks and investing!

Don't invest in places like starbucks? That's about all I can tell ya'! Companies like that are super hot at the beginning but once they're around for a while and already hit their "brink" point, they won't really show any sign of growth or at least, not much of it. Follow up on the news of the given companies you want to invest in. If something big happens with them, or they're releasing some of or new product that you think would be popular, that might be the time to invest. Most of it's common sense, really. It's common sense mixed in with unneccesary lingo is how I see it. However, the markets now are very unstable so who knows what could happen. There are also 1cent stocks you can invest in, and the thing with them is you can probably invest in a bunch without it really costing you much and if one get's super hot you'll more then earn your money back & if all else fails, you might be out a tiny bit. It's low-risk and might be where you would want to start before entering into the big-time stocks. I also recommend looking into sites that allow you to play around with "fake stocks" as in sites that have a stock site you can test around with & invest play money before actually investing real money to get an idea of how it works. I found this site through a few searches, http://www.howthemarketworks.com/ I dunno if it's any good but it's a supposed place where you can practice 100% free & the best way to learn how something works is to try it out without any risk. Trial and Error is the best way to learn.

The best thing in your case is to look for a good stock broker. I'm sure you will have many trading companies that will have brokers availabel for their customers. Once you get a good hold of the market and understand the trick of the trade you can start trading independantly :)

I have an e*Trade account, but I have yet to invest anything in it. My sister and one of my brothers have money in an e*Trade account and they play the market a little bit. They just pick a company that they have actually heard of that has a low share price and buy in. After the stock has gone up a little bit my brother pulls his original money back out and invests the profit back into the same stock. Then all the money he gets from re-investing is basically free money. That is how he sees it.

My parents taught us to invest with something you currently use. Be that food, cars, electricity etc. For example if you eat cereal watch the Kellogg's stock for awhile. If you drink Coke or Pepsi watch those. If your drive a Honda watch that. You get the idea. It stands to reason if it is something you use, then others will too. Invest only what you can afford to lose. Start small even 1-10 shares and watch it.

I was always told to start with something really cheap for practice. There are a lot of stocks that are less than a dollar each that you can start with that will allow you to learn and possibly earn a buck or two here or there. You're used to the slow earnings and learning from your posts that I have read, so I'm sure it would be a great way for you to get started. I am going to try to locate a few example stocks that would be good to research that are under a dollar and probably invest a little myself.

im right there with you if you find anything out yourself could you please send the info my way too
