MY BROKER OF CHOICE IS CHARLES SCHWAB
Experience I retired in 1996 at the old age of 39 by using city based utilities and leap call options. on stocks like ibm and wal mart because you can control these stocks for 2 years for ten cents on the dollar.
As of 1998 I got married and went to work driving Big Rig in 2004 so I could provide my 2 daughters,who are 4 and 8 as of 2007, with QUALITY AFFORDABLE health insurance. THIS job still allows me to trade but will cause you a slightly longer wait for any answer.. I apologize for This but my families welfare comes first..
I am a investor only so i am not here to force anything on you and choose this site because it was free

some ways to get your first credit card,that i know work
how to make approx 120 a year by simply paying your bills with a credit card

i will attempt to answer or just say sorry i cant help you
I've always had an interest in investing because I think its important to plan
for the future. This dawned on me a few years ago when I got a new job and
during the orientation, I was shown a video about the future of social security
and the prospects does not look good. Basically, it stated that by the time my
generation, Generation Xs reach the retirement years, social society would
either disappear or there would not be much money by that time since the
Baby Boomer generation will use it all up. That frankly frightens me and I now
realize that I cannot simply rely on social security alone, I need a backup.
Anyway, I'm very new to investing so I don't know anything about it, except
that there's no such thing as a perfectly safe place to put savings and that all
investment involves the risk that you will never see your money again. I am
interested in both short-term and long-term investing.
1. How can I get started on investing?
2. Do you recommend that I take courses at my local college to get a better
understanding of how investing works?
Best regards,
Julian
Answer taking a college course cant hurt
to get started you just take 2000-5000 depending on the broker and open an account.
the way I play is buy good stocks like US bank symbol usb or utilities like dayton power and light symbol dpl
these stocks are fairly stable and pay a nice dividend
I just got out of a usb position at 17.90 a share that I bought for 17.14 a share 3 weeks ago.
a position is the total amount of shares you own.
when you buy any stock, you are opening a position.
When you sell it, you are closing the position
I do what is called scalping the market.
I watch a stock for a year or two and get an idea of its traditional high and low points.
I then buy at the typical low point and sell at the point where I find an acceptable profit.
To me an acceptable profit can be as little as 2% of my total investment.
I believe that making 10 trades a year and making 2% net profit per trade is still a 20% return each year.
feel free to ask a follow up question.
If you ever choose to actively trade off my advice
I offer a simply contract.
I tell you what I am trading and you tell me what the amount you are commiting
I tell you what my buy price is and my sale price is.
If you follow my advice and make a profit. which will happen at the same time I make the same profit.
you will owe me 15% of your net profit.
so if you made 100 you owe me 15
simply credit my paypal account using your credit card
if you dont pay me then dont ask for my next trade.
there is no paper here
the contract is between you me and god
and you only owe me IF YOU MAKE A NET PROFIT
if you dont feel that its worth 15 bucks to make 100 then dont worry
And feel free to ask someone else for advice. You will find they all ask for a maintenance fee up front and make no guarantee's of a profit.
if you ever have a loss which I will know because I lost too
you get my advice for free till you make up the loss plus 100 bucks profit.
BUT if you lost say 200 bucks and the next trade you make 500 IE you made up your loss completely plus your 100 plus had a 200 extra profit
you would owe me 30 bucks instead of 75 bucks
as your 200 buck loss is free to gain back so 30 bucks saved
you get to make 100 free thats 15 more or 45 bucks saved
but the last 200 is now subject to commission
and you would owe for future trades again.
I hope you have a good day and If you choose to work with me
I will consider it a pleasure.
good luck
