Stock Market Can Be A Good Source Of Income

By Johnny M Junior

When an individual intends to invest a certain portion of his hard earned money their sole intention is to reap profits. And inasmuch as this can be a good vehicle for economic emancipation it should be done so properly. On such area requiring careful planning before investment is the stock market. The market is the place where people buy shares or stocks in companies only to sell them to other buyers when the value of those shares have gone up. The stock market can be a good place to earn money to start a business or to supplement income.

When I think of the stock exchange, I immediately conjure images of the egg race where competitors line up and try to complete a 100m stretch carrying eggs wedged inside delicately curved spoons. As remote and out of context as it might appear this is exactly what the stock exchange is like, volatile, fragile and very much unpredictable. So if you're harboring thoughts of investing in the stock market, you had better realize now that it is a risky journey with bumps that can bruise your finances like innocent dogs in a dog fight; much care and caution is a necessity.

The simple realization that the market is unpredictable is a clear indication that you should start by investing small. Take your small savings and visit a stock broker who will tell you what shares to buy based on their trends. When you start like this you won't be in the sort of panic that normally leads to premature failure, plus it is a quiet and simpler way of learning without losing a lot of money.

But before even making that small investment you must make sure that household expenses have been catered for. Take your pay cheque and receipts for last month and begin to budget for your investments. This is because you don't want the unfortunate circumstance where you have nothing left midway into the month. The excess after the budgetary planning is what you should only invest.

Before we get into the nitty gritties of stock investment, I want to share something with you. Doing your research on the stock market and how it works is the best way to start a career on the stock exchange. Monthly and yearly reports of stock performances, magazines on the stock market and bestselling books are good sources of information to give you basics on how the stock market is handled.

At the present moment it is precious metals like gold and silver that are attracting the highest prices. The price of gold per oz rose from $950 to a whopping $1200 over the past couple of months. If I were to invest right now it would surely be in precious metals.

But one must be wary of investing in commodities that are rising in share value. The reason for this is that a high is normally followed by an all time low. So when it comes to the oil price that has risen considerably following the fall in the US Dollar, it is important to remember that it can also fall drastically.

Nevertheless you must be careful of certain stock market investment options. Don't be in a rush to invest in things like ETF's and mutual funds. - 23196
