Stock Market Trading

[wings_of_fire]

Most people loose money in intra-day trading. Faster you try to make money, the faster you loose it. The best low risk method to increase capital in stock market is, to know a company thoroughly and invest only when the share price has bottomed out and is undervalued. Then wait a long time....and this is exactly what people like Warren Buffet do.

High frequency trading:ror:

The stock markets are rigged to make the richest even richer. It is at record levels, and yet the rest of the economy is is the crapper. I compare the stock market to selling drugs. Sure there is a lot of money to be made. BUT........a lot of shit to be eaten if it does not work out.

a lot of shit to be eaten if it does not work out.

Absolutely true and most of the intraday traders eat it. Well, I have been through that stage when I started trading 4 yrs ago. There is a huge amount of homework which needs to be done daily, to trade intraday.
Delivery trading is good, but investment needs to be big if one wants to support himself totally through it.
There is a vast amount of information that needs to be scrutinized to come to the right conclusion which turns out a profit.

And yet people rally to lessen their regulations even more, making it a much more dangerous game to be played with our economy. Plus they're wanting FDIC insurance on their deals...

I've been playing with an app called "stock trainer" on my phone which gives you $20000 to start and you invest in the stocks you want. It's all based off the real stock market. I've made as much as 15000 in a day but have lost,that in a few days while playing the app. I found that the pharmaceutical based company's fluctuated the most. I'd buy when they dipped and sold then they raised. Its been working good for me in the app. I've got about $60000 in the portfolio now.

I have a friend who runs an small investment firm. He told me stories about playing with stock prices by buying then dumping, then buying and dumping. Bet it goes up, bet it goes down, then bet again. He said he could manipulate small companies with only a couple million dollars. He did it for fun. This is only one guy running about $900,000,000. Imagine what the big boys do to it.

And the banks are begging to be let loose again. Because they know the government will bail them out when it crashes.

It all changes when you put real money in to the market. The problem is, high frequency traders can track every move you make and more, they can predict what your intention is. We do not know what our brokers software is sharing with who.
They know it when you place a stoploss.
They know it when you put a price alert.
They know it when you move chart lines.
They track every move of yours to beat you.

For new comers, its the lucrative offer of making fast and easy money that gets them in. They have a long learning curve ahead of them with loosing real money.
A new comer in the stock market is like a soldier going to battle without armor and ammo.
