How does the stock market of today resemble the stock market of the past?

August 5th, 2010

The way a lot of people paint it, the stock market was just a safe, ol’ bird you could get rich on if you stuck your money in there for 40 years. I have only a 5 year history learning about and investing in stocks, but feel like its every day a roller coaster. What was it like in say the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s etc. or before if you were around then?

What do people do wrong on the stock market that make them fail?

July 29th, 2010

A person said in another answer this:
"Many investors achieve this, (including me). Very few "traders" come anywhere close to that, and though a few make good money, the majority loose their money and slink away very quietly!"

The majority lose their money and sink away. So what do the majority do that make them fail on the stock market? Any links to websites or articles/advice of what not to do wrong when investing in stocks?

How do you know when a stock is doing good?

May 1st, 2010

How do you know when a stock is doing good? For instance on the screen of an iPhone that has the stocks app how can you identify quickly what stocks are doing well? I am just pursuing this investing in stocks thing cause my father used to and since I was a kid I thought that was quite interesting. Now, I wanna some adventure, some excitement day by day. I know I still must learn some more before opening an E Trade or Scottrade account online.
