subject: Stock Buying - Due Diligence Required Beforehand [print this page] If you're planning on getting into stock investing then it's almost certainly not a good time to be seeking a speedy return by investing a part of your monthly income. If you're hoping to make a quick buck then you would probably be better off heading to your local bookies and placing your money on the favourite in the next race! So lots of people are strangely pleased when they place a bet and they dont really care what the outcome is.
Whether it makes sense to invest in the Penny shares market is something which we have already discussed. Dont wrongly assume that these shares are only going to cost a penny because of the name; however, you should really be able to pick them up for less than $5. There is a much higher risk with penny shares as a result of fact that they have a low value. The price of penny shares often swings wildly from one direction to the other in a small period of time and if the price jumps by a great deal, an inexperienced investor will often sell. However, by the time they get around to selling, the price could have dropped again. It's so simple to make an incorrect decision because of how volatile the market is.
Something else to consider is the time of the year. If you wish to make small investments remember that apparently its only 100 days until Christmas. But we prefer not to mention this until the beginning of December. However, the serious point regarding the C word confirms that there arent many paydays until then. Something which I previously mentioned in terms of share investing is that you could buy someone one share in a company. Although in itself, not a real investment, it may be the ideal present for those teenagers whom you never can seem to find the perfect choice. This could be the way to encourage them to follow a certain company, and watch their financial fortunes on the stock market. This variety of gift is also ideal for a christening present.
You may want to subscribe to a newsletter about online investments but if you do, then you need to be careful that what you're subscribing to is not just an approach to advertising for various companies. In order to clarify the position of particular newsletters, it's very important to read the small print. If they are promoting buying of particular stock for which they have received a fee, obviously that cant be classed as unbiased information.
It could be beneficial to buy a book aimed at Investing for Beginners to get a little additional knowledge before risking hard-earned monies on the stock market. I mentioned in last weeks post that a cash ISA is worth looking at because it can ensure that you get a reasonable return that is tax free. You should think about investing in this each year before any other investments.
