By Roy Steve

In todays world stock markets provide the fastest way to make money. The effort involved in making money on the stock market is literally zero. That said the risk involved is correspondingly higher.

For making money on the stock markets it is essential that you know the stock market lingo. It helps to know the basic terms as well as the basic understanding about how the stock market works.

The most basic thing to understand is to make sure that you have the knowledge of the stock market common terms and language. You should have the knowledge of what is day trading and what is called the settlement period. You should also get to know about all the stock exchanges NASDAQ, NYSE and ASE.

Brokerages are very important as far as investing in stock markets is concerned. As a new investor and beginners, you will have to understand the role of brokers and deal with them. There are different types of brokers, some who offer discount as well as some who do not. As the name suggests discount stock brokerages will not give you any tips or suggestions whereas the full service brokerages will give you full tips and investing ideas. The fees are higher for full service ones.

As an investor you should at the outset be able think about the kind of risks that you are willing to take. If you are not averse to risk taking then you can easily invest in more volatile stocks. On the contrary if you are more of a cautious investor then only invest your money in very safe defensive stocks.

Understanding your risk profile is very important and that ability will usually come from the fact that as a beginner how much of extra money can you afford to lose.

As a beginner in the stock market it is always better to first test the waters by investing small amounts in good selected stocks and that will help you make sure that you do not lose money initially - 23196
