Oct 29, 2009 - If i invest $100 in a stock - and it go 1 point up - how mach money will go up???

mmc733 Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - it depends on how many individual stocks you buy. if you bought 100 shares at $1 and they went up o $2 then you'd make $100 because your investment would be worth $200. if you bought 20 shares at $5 (20*5= 100) and they went up to $6 then you'd make $20 because your investmetn would be worth $120. it all depends on the return on each share.

Feb 3, 2010 - @sokal91 if you paid 100 dollars for a single stock and it goes up 1 point... you only make 1 dollar..... Technically you have the pay the government a bit back.

Feb 11, 2010 - if you only got 100 bucks to invest, might as well save up before even thinking about investing.

Feb 12, 2010 - BIRDDOG ALERT: I'm offering 1% finders fee on my 63 unit apartment for sale in Thunderbay Ontario. That's $22,500.00 in your pocket if you bring the buyer to the table. This is no joke. It will be a win win situation if I can sell my building so please try and find me a buyer and I'll gladly pay you 1% of the purchase price which amounts to 22.5k. Please email this to all your friends who might need money. Details at: mshinvestments(.)com

Feb 13, 2010 - I think online brokers are the way to go. They usually offer good tools for stock research and charts. Plus a lot of times they can find stocks for cheaper than listed price. That's been my experience anyways. It's always a good idea to check the company's website too.

Feb 28, 2010 - what about 500?

chepsy Says:

Feb 28, 2010 - It all depends. If you join a low commission brokerage like Scottrade which charges $7 a trade it may be worth it, but if you go to UBS and they charge you $130 a trade you will loose allot of money from commission. Lets say you want to purchase AMGN a biotech company at market price which is 56.61, you would only be able to buy 8 shares. Is it worth the commission?

chepsy Says:

Feb 28, 2010 - @edrianquintos Google finance. CNBC during trading hours. Alot of brokerage sites have streaming stock tickers. They best way is through a broker because they have all the resources including the quickest news. Never go through the newspaper, there's always a 1 day delay.

daguangrong Says:

Feb 28, 2010 - I was thinking about Scottrade but I'm looking for something less risky since I don't have a lot to begin with so I signed up with Sharebuilder. I know it's slower growth but was it a good idea do you think?

Feb 28, 2010 - awesome! very informative!

chepsy Says:

Mar 1, 2010 - The brokerage company has nothing to do with the risk or its growth, its the stocks you decide to invest in. I could be mistaken about what your talking about though, are you thinking of mutual funds? THOUGH, stick to prominent brokerage firms because if they were to go bankrupt you could loose money. Hope this helps. btw how old are you?

MrAmericanAce Says:

Mar 1, 2010 - @chepsy yeah, it can be done but ur gonna be sittin there waiting for a 10 percent increase on something just to make ten bucks. and waiting for that is riskier than im willing to do while day trading. usually. morelikely to lose money. Start with 1000 at least

MrAmericanAce Says:

Mar 1, 2010 - @daguangrong I'd go with tradeking if i were you. They only charge 4.95 but theres no limits to anything. no weekly or biweekly stuff. Im almost done day trading today and im coming out about 70 dollars on top.

MrAmericanAce Says:

Mar 1, 2010 - @chepsy Well. You'd throw in 452.88. If you got a 3% increase and sold you would make about 13.59, then you'd pay your fee of 7.00 and be left with 6.59 profit. too risky for too little.

MrAmericanAce Says:

Mar 1, 2010 - @daguangrong not enough. I threw in 4,000 today and came out with 4,087 dollars. im done for the day because i periodically lose some money and the market shuts down in 1 hour. Some days i do better, some i do worse. 500 dollars is harder to do well with because you need a bigger increase to get profits and still pay off your transaction fees. If you do it this way without a broker its feasible but not really worth it. Maybe 5 dollar profit.

TheBlackCoCo Says:

Mar 2, 2010 - I am totally inexperienced with is but is it possible to just buy stock and sit on it (not buy-sell.will this make money?). Also the guy said that you firstly need a certificate before you can directly go to the company. After you join a stockbroker do have to stay with them (and be charged)? Or s the certificate one set fee?

chepsy Says:

Mar 6, 2010 - @ MrAmericanAce Why are you acting like a smart ass. I wasn't referring the question to you, in fact in was answering someone elses question with a counter-question.
