Buy Stock and Make Cash

By James Q Smith

So you are at the point where you are thinking you'd like to grow your portfolio, and you think that to buy stock is the way. No one will tell you that to buy stock isn't risky business, and that is simply because it really can be.

It can be very rewarding as well. Buying stock doesn't have to be such a daunting task. Make sure and become familiar with the stock market before diving in head first.

Start out by figuring out which stock interests you. The most obvious research tool to buy stock is the world wide web. As a second option, make sure you take advantage of magazines geared towards stock buying, as well as television. The more familiar you become at this, the better chance you will have at being successful.

Now, you are ready to buy stocks. Depending on your confidence level, it can be done with an internet based firm. However, in the beginning you may need more guidance, and will want to use a full service brokerage to buy stocks.

This is the best place to start. You will be assured of experience and confidence, making the purchase of the stock relatively painless.

Make sure and always ask the broker you are working with many questions. Knowledge is power, and questions about the performance of a given stock over the past year or five year period are completely appropriate. You might also ask about the performance of the company in general, and how they compare to other companies in their industry. Always make sure and ask about the fees associated with buying and selling stock.

After you have made your stock purchase, you are far from done. I would venture out to say that the real important part starts now. You need to carefully examine and watch your stock.

Keep track of what it is doing, review daily report, statements you receive and reevaluate its performance. Hopefully it will thrive, but if it is not living up to your expectations, then it may be time to consider selling.

Stocks can be a good investment, but it takes planning and due diligence. Take your time to research before you buy stock, decide if you need the assistance of a full brokerage firm, then watch your stock carefully. Like any investment, careful management means greater dividends. - 23217
