Learning About Beginner Stock Market Investing

When getting involved in beginner stock market investing you should immediately put up your guard. Why? To watch out for scams and the large amounts of hype and B.S. out there.

After spending several years observing, analyzing and sometimes getting drawn into the hype myself, I decided to start this website.

One of the goals of this website is to provide information that I have found to be useful and help people avoid some of the same mistakes I have made myself.

When learning about investing or beginner stock trading, you have to be aware that there are tremendous amounts of information and knowledge that are available to learn from.

This doesn't mean that investing and stock trading has to be complicated, it just means that there is a lot of information to choose from for your personal situation.

Once you have enough knowledge from your own learning experience, you will have a wide variety of information that you can sort through to make your own simplified trading or investing plan.

The difference between you and I, is that I spent years learning many different things about stock trading through trial and error and by putting this information on this website, you have instant access to what took me all those years to learn.

If you are ready to start with your beginner stock market investing, go ahead and bookmark this website so you can have easy access to keep learning helpful, honest information; sign up for my Free Market Trader Ezine (Newsletter) to be informed of trading lessons and ideas only available to my subscribers; get involved by sending me your questions that you may have (I will answer them or point you in the right direction); and most of all take your time, relax and don't start actual trading too soon.

Here are some basic but necessary points that I would suggest to be aware of right from the start:

• Do NOT open a brokerage account and start trading with real money before spending time learning at least some of the basics involved.
• After you learn some of the basics and feel you are ready to start trading with real money, "DON'T". Keep learning and wait.
• While spending time learning, keep a list of informative resources that you find useful and trust. Bookmark this site and sign up for the Free Market Trader Stock Trading Newsletter. You can also check out one of our partners 10 Part Free Stock Trading Email Course.
• Make sure you find a learning resource that you are comfortable with and trust, and that you can ask questions and get answers.
• Develop some sort of trading rules, put them in writing, study them, and practice with them.
• Consider opening a free Simulated Stock Trading account to practice trading, test different strategies and have the chance to win weekly cash prizes once you are ready to start trading.
• Keep a written journal of your trades.
• Practice, practice, practice.
• Once you have made at least 10 or more successful trades and feel comfortable with your trading plan, consider taking off the training wheels and open a brokerage account.

• Opening an account with a discount broker such as Zecco Trading will help you out when starting by letting you take advantage of their easy to use trading platform and $0 stock trades if you qualify. Trade stocks for free on Zecco.com. The Free Trading Community. www.zecco.com
• There are other discount brokers to choose from with low cost trading (See my Online Broker Comparison Here:. Another good example is . . They have trading available as low as $4.95 per trade.
• Use small amounts of money when you start trading with real money.
• Go ahead and take a look at my other page on Steps To Buy Stocks to find out some more getting started information.
• Beware of the Pump and Dump and Pump and Dump Follow-Through

I think you should seriously consider the point above about opening a Simulated Trading Account. Beginner stock market investing can be practiced very easily with a simulated trading account and the company I use myself is Wall Street Survivor.

Right now they have a free stock market game going on and when you open a free simulated trading account and place trades, you are in the running for up to $100,000 in cash and prizes. Check it out below:

Here are some reasons: You can practice all you want without risking money; you can learn how to place different types of trades without risking money; and you can get a feel of how the whole trading process works.

Even experienced traders and investors can find benefits in opening a simulated trading account. I have one myself with a company called Wall Street Survivor. I have a separate page that I made as a review of Wall Street Survivor and to let people know that it works very well.

Having a simple simulated trading program to use like Wall Street Survivor enables you to spend time learning about stock market basics instead of how to use the specific trading program.
