    About this ebook

    As an investor, the stock market offers you the opportunity to increase your income without taking on the high risks that are usually associated when venturing in other businesses. By selling stocks, the company raises capital and is able to expand itself exponentially. Therefore, as an investor, when you purchase shares of a company, you have increased the worth of the company. Thus it's a win-win situation for both investor and owner.

    The negative risk associated with the stock market can be small or large, but it all depends on the number of shares of stock that you, as an investor, have bought. Therefore, if a company's stock shares lose value, the stocks you have bought also loses value, and if you decide to sell your stocks when the value is low, you will have incurred a loss.

    I will show you how you can minimize your risks and show you different ways in which investors are not only making money, but are also building with the stock market.

      Stock Investing For Beginners - Bradley Banks

      Introduction

      Once upon a time, there was an 11-year-old-boy who bought his first stock. He was no expert in buying or selling securities, and in his young mind, he probably did not even fully comprehend how to use financial reports to his advantage. But this young boy who worked in a family-owned grocery store was destined to become one of the most respected businessmen of our generation.

      Meet Warren Buffett – though, no, this is not his story. But would you – like Warren – be interested in trading or investing in stocks? You would be relieved to know that you do not need to become a genius in trading to become successful like Mr. Buffett, George Soros, or Peter Lynch. And, yes, being wealthy is not an impossibility.

      So what do these three men possess that have made them the great success stories that they are today? Would you like to know their secrets to become rich?

      It is not surprising to know that it is not their IQ nor their rich parents that made these businessmen flourish. The bottom line is this – they each have characteristics that set them apart from those who just wish that they could become successful.

      A stock market investor is always a proactive learner – and you have made the first step today by investing in this guide. Add a dash of patience to make your financial plans materialize and then learn the techniques that will make you an expert in no time.

      Learn also how to diversify your portfolio or focus on it – the choice is yours. Should you invest in the short-term or long-term? How would you use the trends to your advantage? And would you like to become a fundamental investor like Warren Buffett or a technical one like George Soros?

      Roll up those sleeves and know your options – because there are so many! And the risks, they are equally numerous, but as Mr. Buffett once said, Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.

      So put your thinking cap on, and let’s start your journey towards becoming an educated stock market investor.

      Chapter One: Where to Start As a Beginner

      The world has heard the success stories of Warren Buffett and George Soros, and everyone who wants to invest wants to be just like them. The former like I mentioned earlier even bought his first stock at 11 (makes you regret not saving in your piggy bank when you were young, doesn’t it?). 

      As a beginner investor we will look at and talk about the joys and pains of stock market trading. In order to do this, the reader must delve into the history of stocks, how the stock market has developed from its early years to the present-day Wall Street glory.

      I’ll discuss the advantages of the different investment instruments apart from stocks such as –

      Bond funds

      Investment funds

      Retirement plans [and discover more plans beyond 401(k)]

      Options

      Annuities

      Crypto Currencies (the infamous Bitcoin belongs here)

      Bank and credit union investments

      Structured products

      Commodity futures and

      Security futures. 

      There isn’t one single investment tool that
