have a question about stock buying and selling Options

[jnutz102001]

just wondering if any of you guys buy and sell stock online for extra money or if any of you ever thought about doing it?? a guy i kind of know does it and makes some mad money off of it but i wasn't sure if it was really hard to do. if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

same as buying it any other way, stock is always a little risky but a good investment company is worth the cost. dont konw how good an online investor would be.

i use Scottrade, so does my father. I have taken the past year off from doing trading but this summer i plan to start back up. My father has since made 10k in the past year just doing stocks for an hour or two 3-4 times a week when he gets home from work.

its easy money, if your smart about what you buy.

for beginning investors, I recommend using a broker for advice.

i wouldnt recommend a broker. personally i think its way more benenficial to learn firsthand how investing works. before you start though, read some books on it to give you a firm base of knowledge. i found the dummies books to be pretty good (theres one on investing, stocks, mutual funds. i would read all three at least). also, remember the stock market is only one facet of investing. i suggest dipping your toes first into mutual funds, they might have a lower ROI than stocks, but theyre also generally much less risky. good luck and have fun, its all a game, it really is. just make sure you know the rules and youll do fine .
