When getting started, it
is important that you pick the right full service or
discount brokerage. If you use a broker, make sure he or she has a good track
record.
As a beginner, set
up a cash account, not a margin account.
Avoid more volatile types
of investments, such as futures, options and foreign stocks.
Concentrate on a few,
high-quality stocks. There's no need to own
twenty or more stocks.
A combination of
fundamental and technical investment styles is essential to picking
winning stocks.
Fundamental analysis
looks at a company's earnings, earnings growth, sales,
profit margins, and return on equity among other things.
It helps narrow down your choices so that you are only
dealing with quality stocks.
Technical analysis
involves learning to read a stock's price and volume chart and timing your decisions
properly.
