How to start investing in the stock market

By Larry Matteson

Even in the rough economy, there are many who want to learn how to invest in the stock market. Though it may seem scary, starting now is not a bad idea since there are many good deals to be had.

No matter what you do or learn, investing in the stock market will always be risky. No way around it. However, you can help reduce this risk by creating a solid system and sticking to it. Many brokerage services offer to automatically withdraw money from your bank account at regular intervals, ensuring you are always adding to your nest egg. However, do not do this unless you have a solid system you can stick to in place first, or else you will simply be wasting your money.

Don't rush into investing. Don't put large amounts of money in the market right away until you know what you are doing. You can start investing with very small amounts of money (even less than $100), and get a feel for how investing works.

Everybody worries about a recession. There is no foolproof way of avoiding one, however. You can minimize your losses by investing in recession resistent industries (expect lower rates of return overall, though) and by diversifying. If your portfolio is around $100 this might be hard, but that will change as you invest more.

You should monitor your stock selections once a week; do not do it every day or it will drive you insane. Stock prices go up and down all the time so you need to take the returns week by week and then assess whether or not to sell your stocks.

You should have a diversified stock portfolio; do not invest in just one company or industry. This will allow you to have a good mix of stocks in case a certain industry or company has a rough time.

Investing in stocks takes a lot of discipline and hard work; you need to make sure that you monitor your stock portfolio and seek financial advice if necessary. Anyone can learn how to invest in the stock market properly. If you want to invest in the stock market then you should take the first step and open a stock account. The best way to help the economy is for everyone to learn about investing and help the stock market get healthy so that we can all be prosperous. - 23210
