How to start investing in stock exchange?
I’ve been a little curious about investing in stock exchange and brokerage. Can you give me a link where I can learn the basics first? Like a "Stock Exchange for Dummies" kind’a site.
Thanks.
Start by reading some good books, like Investing For Dummies or The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Investing.
You also need to think of your goals.
Is it for more income? For retirement? For someone’s education? Plus how old are you and how long do you want to invest? How much risk are you willing to assume?
These are all very critical questions and they will determine what kind of investments are right for you. Don’t believe anyone who has a "one size fits all" kind of investment. For stocks typically you are talking about at least a 5 year investment period. If less, consider getting into bonds or a bond fund instead. Many people choose an appropriate mix of the two.
If you want to get into the market but don’t know what stock to pick, consider an index fund. Instead of throwing all your eggs into one basket (one company), index funds can invest you in dozens, hundreds, or thousands of companies all at once and so there is less risk. This protects you if any one company or industry runs into trouble. For bonds, the returns are less, but more solid.
If you are thinking of retirement, consider a Roth IRA. Your money grows tax free, and when you retire you can withdraw it tax free as well.

and play with it, comparing funds with more or less risk.

Investopedia.com is good for the basics all the way through to more advanced terms. Start there. Then, I would call three local licensed financial advisors and let them sell you on how great they could do with your money. It will be a free education from licensed professionals that might lead you to someone you trust to help you invest long-term.
It’s risky but highly rewarding on many levels when you take your time to do it right!
Hope this helps!

If you want to be successful in stocks trading, you must be involved in day trading because that’s one way of earning huge profits. For those people who don’t like long term investments, day trading might work for you. By investing in day trading, you can expect the profits to be reflected in your account the soonest possible time. This is also the reason why day trading is very much popular these days.
Like other trades, day trading also involves risks. If it is possible to earn huge profits in one day, the chances of losing huge investments are enormous as well. As a trader, you’re not expected to remain active at all times. Did you know that with a very good negotiation strategy, you can earn huge money in seconds, minutes, and hours? That is indeed possible but it will take time. You should not rush things when you’re studying the market. Take your time because after careful and thorough market analysis, you can make a good deal. It’s up to you whether you will only make one transaction per day or several transactions.
Studying market trends is also very important. Some value of stocks tends to rise continuously and if this is the case, a trader may buy the stock with the hope of selling it at a much higher price later on.
Before making any transaction, there are things to consider like:
1.Stocks can be very unpredictable. If you want to buy a stock and hope to sell it at a higher price, you need to monitor or check the computer often. Frequent observation is needed so that you can make an informed decision. Your internet connection should be reliable so that you won’t lose in any of your transactions.
2.Beware of day trading because even if you earn huge profits today, there is still a possibility of losing even a larger amount in the days to come. If you’ve committed mistakes in the past, you need to learn from them. Risking your investments is not a good idea so try to be very careful with all your transactions, online or offline.
3.You must be patient. Again, you must always take your time and don’t be hasty with your buying or selling decisions. If you’re unsure of a certain transaction, get out immediately.
Indeed, day stocks promises a lot of profit to those who are willing to take risks but this doesn’t mean that they can simply make uneducated decisions. Investing in day stocks requires careful thought and analysis of the market trends, along with other factors.
Try to consider the things mentioned earlier especially of you’re into day trading. Beginners need all the help they can get because day trading is not very easy. Gather as much information as you can about day trading. You can find a lot of information about stocks trading online. Start your research now so that you will know how to conduct day trading and understand the processes involved.
