For the new beginners to trading shares, it may seems like a nightmare. But with realizable goals being in place, you can always see it as a fun. Imagine stock prices moving up as high as 100%, 200% even more. Confirm it at http://stockgroup.financialpost.com/Winners.asp

Trading shares online is an emerging market that has come to stay and it is revolutionizing the world of the small investor. But with this revolution comes a confusing array of choices.

What is a share?

It is part ownership of a publicly listed company. The company will usually also pay out some of its profits, known as a dividend.

But you may not always get a payout, particularly if the company wants to invest cash in the business, or has fallen on hard times.

British shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange. A record of their daily price movement can be found in the Financial Times.

American shares are traded on Nasdaq, NYSE, OTC, AMEX, Pinksheet exchanges.

If you want to track the activities, you’ll find them on Internet sites such as www.finance.google.com, or www.finance.yahoo.com, with a slight delay.

TICKER
Ticker symbol is listed first. This is the abbreviated symbol that the stock
market uses to identify your company. For example, GE is General Electric,
WMT is Wal-Mart. Once you select a company, you’ll need to know its
shorthand name to track its progress.

ASK PRICE
The price a seller is willing to accept for a security, also known as the
offer price. Along with the price, the ask quote will generally also
Stipulate the amount of the security willing to be sold at that price.
Sometimes called "the ask".
This is the opposite of bid, which is the price a buyer is willing to pay
for a security, and the ask will always be higher than the bid. The
terms "bid" and "ask" are used in nearly every financial market in the
world covering stocks, bonds, currency and derivatives. An example
of an ask in the stock market would be $5.24 x 1,000 which means
that someone is offering to sell 1,000 shares for $5.24

BID PRICE
The price a buyer is willing to pay for a security. This is one part of
the bid with the other being the bid size, which details the amount of
shares the investor, is willing to purchase at the bid price.
The opposite of the bid is the ask price, which is the price a seller is
looking to get for his or her shares.
The use of bid and ask is a fundamental part of the market system,
as it details the exact amount that you could buy or sell at any point in
time. Remember that the current price is not the price for which you
can purchase the security, but the price at which the shares last
traded hands. If you want to get an idea of the price for which you can
buy a security, you need to look at the bid and ask prices because
they will often differ from the current price.

Hello Forumites,
Though my own business is strictly on global stock trading but a friend of mine is about going into charcoal exportation. Does anyone has ideas of how it goes? He needs information on sourcing it, an experienced person in the exportation and so on.

Please drop me a reply if you have any information on it.

Your comments about my posts on global stocks will be appreciated to allow me to continue posting the stock picks. I need to know if people on this forum appreciate global stock trading.

Yesterday, TLX moved up to $3.65 from $3.45 which was a good move for us all. ESLT is still expected to go up as their earning date is getting closer. SINE moved down a bit because of people taking profits but expect it to get to $7.00 in a short while.
Sell off your TLX to take profit, set stop loss at $6.00 for SINE and take profit at $7.00. I picked SINE when it was $4.65 and waiting for it to get to $7.00 b4 selling it off.


Today, buy ARIUS Research Inc. (TSX:ARI) before the opening of pre-market opens. The company is under negotiation with Roche (SWX: ROG).It is expected to move up toward before the market opens.


LET SUCCESS BE OUR GOAL

As for me, i prefer global stocks. It has been very profitable to be me. The good thing about it is that you have directly access to the trading floor and control your trade pattern.

If you have been following my thread here, i post some of my stock picks daily before the market opens and review it the following morning before posting another one just show people that i'm not here to bring them into what will suck their hard earned money.


Global stock trading is what i have been doing for a living now.

The stock picks i posted yesterday really blew up my mind. As they went up beyond my expectation. I expected DNA to stop at $89 but pushed up to $93.59 from $81.88 that i recommended it .before the market opened.

SINE closed at $6.80.I was expecting it to close at $6.50 and continue with upward movement to today. Still hold on to it because it will continue to go up.

Congratulations if you made money yesterday. As for me, i made good money from DNA.

Let's talk about today.

Buy Trans-Lux Corporation (Public, AMEX:TLX) before the pre-market price of $3.45 today. It is expected to move up today.

Buy Elbit Systems Ltd. (ADR) (Public, NASDAQ:ESLT) before Pre-market. It will push up today.


LET SUCCESS BE OUR GOAL.

For forumites that call me and sent mails to me while i was ill that i couldn't commence my postings on stocks to watch, i really appreciate your concern.

Today marks the beginning of my post here.

(1) Genentech, Inc. (Public, NYSE:DNA)

DNA is expected to move up today before the opennig of the market. Roche has made an offer to acquire them. Take a buy position and make sure you opt out at some minutes before the opening of the market.

(2) Sinoenergy Corporation (Public, OTC:SINE)

SINE price is expected to still be going up as the company announced that it expects
to exceed the revenue and net income guidance it gave on May 21, 2008 for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2008.
If you are still holding SINE, keep it. Dont sell off yet.

The Two Ways You Make Money


Now that you see this, it’s easy to understand that your wealth is built in two distinct ways:

1. An increase in share price. Over the long-term, this is the result of the market valuing the increased profits as a result of expansion in the business or share repurchases, which make each share represent greater ownership in the business as a percentage of total equity. In other words, if a business with a $10 stock price grew 20% for 10 years through a combination of expansion and share repurchases, it should be nearly $620 per share within a decade as a result of these forces assuming Wall Street maintains the same price-to-earnings ratio.
2. Dividends. When earnings are paid out to you, these funds are now your property in that you can either use them to buy more stock or go to Vegas and blow it all at the craps table.

Occasionally, during market bubbles, you may have the opportunity to make a profit by selling to someone for more than the company is worth. In the long-run, however, the investor’s returns are inextricably bound to the underlying profits generated by the operations of the businesses which he or she owns.

I dont think there's a formula to calculated the share price when bonus and dividend is being given. It is the sentiment that affects the share price at that time.

When a rumour is going on that a company is will give its shareholders bonuses or good dividends, the price may start going up because everybody will be demanding for it. But expect the price to fall after the bonuses and dividends has been given.

3 for 1 means for every 3 units of shares, 1 will be added to it.

In stocks selection, the main job is being able to assess informations. Many investors feel qualified and prefer to analyze data, which is fine as long as they have time, resources and skills to produce reliable results. Some contract the services of professionals to save time. However, in selecting stocks the following questions must be answered before taking a conclusion on investment since you are the fund owner and the one taking the risk:

Is the company making money?
What is the stock really worth?
How safe is the stock?
Is its price rising or falling?
What is its forecasted earning per share?
What is its estimated earnings growth rate?
How fast are the dividends?
Does this stock meet my risk/rewards objectives?
Should I buy now?
When should I sell it?

The above questions need to be answered before taking an investment decision.

Investments has been one of my sources of income (both global and local stocks investment) and I use questions above to do analysis with some mathematics before taking decision on either to buy or sell.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

What is Fundamental Analysis?
Fundamental analysis is the practice of studying the fundamentals of a company to determine if a business is a good investment. Fundamental analysis can answer questions such as "what are the chances this business is going to go bankrupt" and "how certain can I be that this stock will continue paying dividends?" It involves studying financial statements such as the balance sheet.

What is Technical Analysis?
Technical analysis is the practice of studying the stock market's past in an attempt to determine its future. People who utilize technical analysis often study charts and graphs of a particular stock, industry, and / or sector to try and find patterns.
Here's how it works: A technical analyst may look at XYZ's stock and notice the price has risen every February, then fallen sharply in March every year for the past four years. They would then buy XYZ stock in February because he / she believed the market was likely to repeat the same price pattern. Technical analysis does not pay particular attention to the fundamentals of a stock.

i will support your write up about stock market. But the readers will still more research on their own before starting the venture.

The first step for you to understand the stock market is to understand stocks.
A share of stock is the smallest unit of ownership in a company. If you own a share of a company’s stock, you are a part owner of the company.

You have the right to vote on members of the board of directors and other important matters before the company. If the company distributes profits to shareholders, you will likely receive a proportionate share.

One of the unique features of stock ownership is the notion of limited liability. If the company loses a lawsuit and must pay a huge judgment, the worse that can happen is your stock becomes worthless. The creditors can’t come after your personal assets. That’s not necessarily true in private-held companies.

There are two types of stock:

Common stock
Preferred stock
Most of the stock held by individuals is common stock.
Common Stock
Common stock represents the majority of stock held by the public. It has voting rights, along with the right to share in dividends.
When you hear or read about “stocks” being up or down, it always refers to common stock.

Preferred Stock
Despite its name, preferred stock has fewer rights than common stock, except in one important area – dividends. Companies that issue preferred stocks usually pay consistent dividends and preferred stock has first call on dividends over common stock.
Investors buy preferred stock for its current income from dividends, so look for companies that make big profits to use preferred stock to return some of those profits via dividends.

Liquidity
Another benefit of common stocks is that they are highly liquid for the most part. Small and/or obscure companies may not trade frequently, but most of the larger companies trade daily creating an opportunity to buy or sell shares.
Thanks to the stock markets, you can buy or sell shares of most publicly traded companies almost any day the markets are open.

This thread shall be based on basics of penny stocks trading on global market. Lectures on it will commence tomorrow and run for 2 weeks. So follow me on it.
