Stay away from trying to purchase and sell daily. you'll end up losing lots of money to commissions. Strong businesses you have heard of typically stay around so you wont lose all your money, but will have somewhat lower returns. Mutual money typically have decent returns and less risk.

I have been purchasing mutual money and not trading. The balance continued to grow.

Invest your complete life savings into a newspaper company, Amtrak, or some other company that's sure to fail. youll be rich in no time.

First off, figure out what do you want this money your investing to do for you. And I mean not just something indistinct like make money or grow. Something particular like for money that will be used to fund your childrens education, or money to take a vacation, etc. Once you figure that out, give yourself time. The longer your invested in the market the more money you'll make. Its so easy to make money in the market. How come so many people are unsuccessful? Because, majority of people are guilty of letting their emotions dictate their investment behavior.

So here it's, the simplest way of making profits from the stock market. purchase low, sell high. I dont care if you go and purchase Google and the next day the stock plumets from $490 to $90. YOU HAVENT LOST ANY MONEY. You only LOSE the money when your feeling tells you this was a stupid idea, I just lost $400, Im going to pull my money out before I lose it all. You only lose money when you sell your position at a loss. Go figure.

Now its not likely that Google will tank in such a way but despite any stock that takes a plunge is a sign to do some more research and more frequently than not, you end up putting more money in the stock. Again purchase low, sell high.

Historically over any ten yr. period, the stock market never made negative returns.
