Willy M asked:


Yes well I have an etrade account, and I would like to invest about 200-400 bucks in penny stocks, or stocks that are quickly on the rise. Anyone know some great websites or a stock I should/can get started with? Thanks for the help.

Roc18 asked:


If you want to sell a stock on the market do you have to set an ask price and have someones bid price match your ask price in order for it to sell or is there a way for you to sell the stock at anytime incase you want to get rid of the stocks quickly without doing the bid ask process?

Slick asked:


It seems like whether you have $10,000 or $10,000,000, if you were to choose around 10 stocks (not penny stocks) in different sectors, you’d be diversified enough. Any thoughts?

I’m looking for a link to such studies here, so hopefully I can save time from doing my own studies. Basically, I’m looking for edges in the market, and even if dividend stocks grow at the same rate as non-dividend stocks, and dividends are a percent, than I will have a percent plus compounding on that percent every year. May not be much, but every edge counts. Please note that only statistics and studies will help me here. Thanks!

natan asked:


I am thinking about buying up some cheap stocks-like in the $2-20 ea bracket. Has anyone that is “new” to stocks and the market made any money this way? How much of a time investment would it be to learn the ins and outs and keep an eye on the markets? Some say we(the us) is going into a mild recession of sorts-it seems so. Would you suggest informed investing in some cheap stocks right now?

Ash asked:


I am playing a stock market game at school and I would like to know some stocks that will make me good profits in a short period of time. I have about six weeks left and $100,000 of pretend money. So far I bought BIDU and SIRI and have made nice profits from BIDU. I recently bought SIRI because of the possible merge with XM. Thank you.

. asked:


I would like to learn the basics of buying stocks or learning how to buy stocks that would give me a good return on my investment. The issue is I would like to know if there is any solid advice one should know before investing in as well.

More or less I would like to know how you can buy stocks online as well. Do they charge a fee for one stock at a time to buy online or you can pay a monthly fee to trade stocks for a set price?

I would like to know the best way to seek out a stock broker to trade for you as well as a good guide?
