Teach Me How To Invest/Trade

post #1 of 4

Thread Starter 

I invested about $4,130 into AAPL the other day at $590.54 - I have 7 shares.

I invested about $150 into BAC the other day at $7.88 - I have 19 shares.

I have another $600 I'm willing to invest and don't know where to go.

 

I get free trades for another 55 days on ETrade so that's another bonus I guess.

 

I have a total of $5,000 in my saving and $5,000 in the stock market and I'm definitely new at it.

I'm hoping to make 2- 3 thousand dollars in the next year so I'm no huge investor but I definitely would like the additional funds.

 

I don't know if I should invest more into BAC (because I know in a couple years things should turn around) and I don't know if I want to be in it for the long term. Netflix is something I'm also looking into because I feel like right now it's at a very low price.

 

Can anyone give me advice on what I should invest in or if I'm headed in the right direction?

Or is there something I could be trading?

little more diversification maybe...not put 92% into one play and 12% and 3% in a couple others...the other 2 could do great and double or triple and the one you put most in could just go down slighty and cancel anything you may have made on the others ...not saying make it 100%even across the board...put a lil more into ones you feel stronger about but still cover yourself if you are wrong on that one

Yeah not getting why everyone is putting so much into AAPL. Was goes up must come down as we are seeing lately. 

 

 

Also to add what Kevin stated, do not trade on emotion, it will make you broke, educate yourself on the market, how to read charts, etc. There is a ton of educational information on this site. USE IT!

patience..  leg into trades.  dont trade options.  DO A LOT OF RESEARCH.  dont rely on us to answer questions that you can find yourself.  ive seen numerous questions of yours alraedy that if you spent the time, you could figure out for yourself..  respect other peoples time.

 

Right now to make 2-3k, you need apple to reach 850ish..Id set your goals more realistic. 

 

BAC is the best of those trades imo. There is a reason Netflix is down to 70's..dont just look and say "oh it was at 300 before it can get there again".  it doesnt always work like that.  read articles about the companies and understand the macro outlook and what the indexes are doing as well.

sry if im blunt.  wish you luck
