  1. Okay, but forex is more profitable right, even though you still choose to trade stock huh?
  2. please, what is your thoughts about this? which is better or profitable in your opinion, Forex trading or Stock trading. thank you in advance.
  3. but oil has experienced a sink for the two days in a roll. thursday and friday. also, my majot doubt is China has just had its third month in a row with dropping oil demand and many other places are rapidly deploying EVs. Also OPEC as not agreed to a ceiling in production. do you still think it's okay to invest on oil now?
  4. Thanks for such a great article. it was really helpful indeed.
  5. okay. quite direct. however, my answer hasn't changed. but this is just my little thought about oil. We have seen oil as high as $140 per barrel within the last 10 years so the move from a $30 to $40 price range to $50 is perhaps a sign of better things.
  6. This may not be the answer you expect but the stock you should buy now is the stock that you have followed, model, analyzed and fully believe it will yield for you. good luck.
  7. Yes you are right. In that regards, here are some few common advantages of both of them Founders set terms Founders set value of company Founders set number and price of shares Founders set minimum investment
  8. There are three different types of equity crowdfunding offered under the JOBS Act: Accredited Crowdfunding - Regulation D (made possible by Title II) Crowdfunding Plus, Title IV/Regulation A+ (“Reg. A+”) Retail Crowdfunding, Title III/Regulation Crowdfunding (“Reg. CF”) These are the types of equity crowdfunding but we will be discussing the major difference between Crowdfunding plus, Title IV/Regulation A+ and Retail Crowdfunding, Title III/Regulation Crowdfunding. Actually, these two are pretty much similar to each other because for the most part they do the exact same thing. The regulation A+ allows entrepreneurs raise up to 50million dollars a year from non-accredit and accredit investors alike, but it does require the prior authorization of the SAC before a company can begin selling shares and collecting cash. While the Retail Crowdfunding, Title III/Regulation Crowdfunding is only allowed to raise up to a million dollars a year and does not require the prior authorization of the SAC before a company can begin selling shares and collecting cash. This is the major different between the two. hope this helps someone
  9. You cant do this reliably, unfortunately.... And If anyone could do it they would not tell you about it. It follows as a consequence that anyone trying to tell you that he can do this, is lying and trying to take you for a ride in one way or another. It is very true that some people get lucky. Some times on a streak, but eventually, unless they are trading with inside info, they will come up snake eyes.
  10. you could try MarketPlace dot com. It is a very cool site for beginners. Also, you get to try out a demo of real life trading. just to know what the market looks and feels like.
  11. To invest in stock, you must spend time reading and following financial news and updates. also you need certain amount of money (not small) to invest in stock in the stock market. Since you are new and don't have much time, I will advice an index fund. it will simply safe your money and you keep getting interest after certain periods of time.
  12. I don't think so. i think Gold is a better way to reserve money because it always appreciate even in a stock market crash.
  13. hey. what is MFE. is it a sort of app for trading or what.

    How to Invest

    There are two general ways to successful investing: 1) Buying primarily value - understand the business, the people behind it and it's real value. If the asking price is less, buy. The more the gap, the better the investment. Set clear limits and stick with them. Existing value is usually overcharged, so this will be harder to get and require much more capital to buy into. There were much more of those deals available in the past, when the general appetite for investment was less. 2) Buying primarily potential - this one is tricky and more risky. You must understand why businesses fail and test and track accordingly. You must understand and intuitively predict what markets want, how to give it to them and who can give it, on top of previous requirements. You should limit this kind of investment in your portfolio, until you get some relevant experience. Start small and always have a team of domain experts around.
  15. Investing is a calculated risk. Throwing money into a venture without understanding the downsides, upsides, and being unable to control the moving parts is a gamble, no different than going to a casino without understanding the game of odds. When I am investing in real estate, I am taking a calculated risk with every purchase. My business model is centered around buying property 70-80% of fair market value. Meaning, if i know the house is worth $1,000,000, I refuse to buy it unless I can get it for $7-$800,000. This is me covering my downside, in case the market tanks, in case the house sits on the market for too long, in case there's a huge defect with the property, I've bought conservatively enough that in the worst case, I'm going to break even. Speculation is if I buy the property at 950,000 with the hope that the market will continue to climb and so I can sell the home for 1,100,000. Investors do not bank on speculation. Investors understand and evaluate all the factors in their industry and either hedge for the downside, or can control the moving components to reduce the risk. When VC's are evaluating their next venture, they spent time evaluating the management team because a business is only as good as team directing it. That is a part of how they evaluate how risky the venture is. Risk can be the unpredictability of a market or it can be the lack of education that you have concerning the industry. An old investing adage goes like this: "Cover your downside and the upside will worry about itself"
  16. I brought some share in Apple and i wanted buying even more, but i was told that China's GDP is falling. and i know that with a constant and steady fall of China’s GDP, China will have to suffer inflation to balance the situation, so that goods can be exported from China for a marketable and competitive prize. And if this happens, the RMB will keep losing it value hence affect the profit of Apple, thereby reducing my profit as a shareholder. So considering this, do you think there may be a turn around at some point? or is selling my shares the best option?
