TIPS HOW TO INVEST IN STOCK?
•Always check Roth IRA. It will be beneficial to you in the long run because you will be able to save on your tax.
•When a company has competition, it can mean that competitors may drive the other company out of business. Or supply of similar stock of similar companies may be too large. In result, stocks are not going to have good value. Thus, not much demand will be created for such stock.
•Diversify the choice of companies you chose. It is generally not a very good idea to invest in and stick with one type of a company. Look for new companies even if you have never heard of them – learn about them, and read their financial information.
•If you are looking for a long-term good investment stock, consider well established brands. Among them are P&G, Coca-Cola, Google, 3M, etc.
•Monopolies are good if you find a good deal on their stock. It means that there is no competition, and the company is stable. Thus, its stock price and value are stable.
•A lot of businesses are seasonal. Travel industry, retail industry for example are not good choices because their income and revenue are not steady. It changes over time of the year and it is not a good idea to have an “unsure” stock. Such cyclical stocks have periods of strong growth and decline, so it is up to you to watch for that trend .
•If the company is shareholder oriented – you gain on your stock! If the company pays more attention to its CEO and Vice-Presidents, than the choice is not so good. These types of companies will choose to pay bonuses to its officials rather than pay out dividends.
•Profit margin is a good determinant when looking for a good investment stock. At least 10%-15% is a good choice.
•Don’t try to beat the stock market in the short run. It simply doesn’t work. You can beat the market in the long-run, thus invest in stable companies.
•Avoid brokers that closely follow S&P 500 or Dow. They do it to insure themselves against of market failure. Diversification is good, but it is also a “safe measure” for brokers to make money on you.
•Don’t get hung up online on stock market. It is always a good idea to learn how to trade options, futures, commodities, foreign currencies, preferred stock, or bonds. Learn about these markets and effects of one on the other. In many cases, currency markets can be good determinants for stock markets.
•When you buy stock, make sure you are confident in it. In case the stock value goes down – you should feel confident about it and only buy more of it. When you have good knowledge about the market and the company, your stock pick should be a good one!
•Make sure the business you are investing is profitable!
•The stock price is not a reflection of its actual value. Market value of a stock can be different from its actual value. It can be over priced, underpriced, or it can also be the same.

Seven helpful steps to how to invest in stock:
1.SAVE! Don’t start investing in stock unless you have extra cash and savings. If you are a new stock investor – do not borrow money, or take out loans to invest. This is a very dangerous strategy. Save some money first, and then invest it in stocks.
2.READ! Make sure you read a lot about investments, good stock picks, stock market reviews, and company financials. Motley Fool, or the Tycoon Report are good sources for that information. You can use secondary sources as financial blogs or websites. Bloomberg is a good one too. It has currency trading info as well as stock trading info. Read articles written by experts. Warren Buffett publishes a lot of valuable financial information on his website.
3.SMALL PORTFOLIO! Learn about individual stocks enough to purchase them, or you can always get a mutual fund which is a low risk investment.
4.DO NOT SELL! Don’t be frightened if the market is not doing well any particular day, week or even month. Wait until it bounce back because stock generally grow rather then decline in value.
5.PLAN! Set aside a certain percentage of your paycheck for investments, as well as for savings every month. Stick to this plan.
6.CONSULT A BROKER! Talk to someone. Find an honest guy who does free consultations, and work with him. You can certainly pay for stock consultation if you want to.
7.BUDGET! Be wise with your money. Don’t spend it all. Don’t spend your profit. If you make some profit, set some money aside for savings, and reinvest the rest.

What are penny stocks? Should I chose Penny Stocks or regular stocks to invest in?
Penny Stocks are generally referred to as common stocks that are traded for less than five dollars a share. Penny stock is traded over the counter (or OTC). Pink Sheets, or the OTC Bulletin Board are the quotation services that trade penny stock over the counter.
Penny stocks are also being traded outside of major stock trading exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ, or AMEX.
Investors find it somewhat difficult to invest in penny stock, as opposed to regular stocks, because legitimate information about penny stocks is not wide spread. It is easy to manipulate penny stocks, because it is hard to find reliable information on penny stock companies.
Because penny stocks are traded below five dollars per share they are attractive to investors, and especially to inexperienced investors. Low price stock is usually perceived to have a potential for rapid growth, or for quick cash. Penny stocks are not a very good idea for a long-term investment. They lose value in a long-run. Short-term investment is probably a most suitable option for penny stocks. But it doesn’t mean that penny stock will bring you high percentage return over night. Penny stocks are considered to be high risk investments, because investors loose on it just as much as they gain on trades.
Securities Exchange Committee warns all investors that penny stocks are high risk investments and should be carefully examined before purchase. Various things can happen with penny stocks. Among them, fraud, limited liquidity, and lack of financial reporting. It might become very difficult to sell penny stock because demand for it fluctuates and is not stable.
Manipulations of stock are done easily because there is not much regulation or listing requirement compared to major markets such as NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. There is not much protection for shareholders. There are a lot of penny stock company insiders as well as fraudulent investors online that pretend to be unbiased stock reviewers. Confusing links, multiple websites, confusing graphs and charts, inconsistent data and much more can lead new investors to buy penny stock and take a big loss. In some cases, if a trade is done online, it can be fraudulent. Thus if you think of trading penny stock, you should consider using well established companies such as Scottrade.
