How do people invest $1,000 in the STOCK MARKET and in a few years they have a chance of having $1M+ ?

I don't trade but for a couple of years I have been hanging around on trader forums like market ticker and zerohedge. I think things have really changed a lot with high frequency trading and other tricks the insiders use to manipulate the markets. The old methods of charting and analyzing don't really work that well anymore, although the HFT algo's can generate false patterns to make it look like the market is trading naturally, or organically.

If I had the cash and wanted to get in I would go long in commodities, wheat, rice, grain, uranium. I would stay in commodities futures and never, ever venture into equities, those markets can be gamed so easily. If you read Jim Willie you will begin to see that even the bond markets are rigged, the big dealers are now naked short selling corporate and sovereign bonds, meaning they are selling an asset that they really don't have. Fraud runs amuck, even the experience traders are bailing out of the markets.

I heard this book is pretty good if you are serious about investing:

agreed

go long on CHOCOLATE

I don't recommend individual stocks, but rather mutual funds that have a good track record of around 10% over a ten year period...There are four categories, put 25% in each:

growth

growth and income

aggressive growth

international

HFT changed the game. Spend the thousand buying shit cheaply at yardsales and selling it on ebay. Your chances of profit are probably better.

You can probably find somebody selling newsletters that say that you can "TURN $1,000 INTO $1,000,000 IN THE STOCK MARKET". But if they really could do that, why would they be selling newsletters? Shouldn't they be putting their effort into the stock market?

If you had bought $1,000-worth of Cisco stock in late 1989, it would have been worth $288,000 in April 2000.

Some people just get lucky, like the local peeps to the Walton family who bought into WalMart when it started up.

Over the past 3 quarters $45 billion has been liquidated from peeps cashing in and saying, screw this crap I ain't playing. Mutual funds are basically for newbs who want to get in but don't know how, so they let the funds trade for them. The funds are getting liquidated I would stay out of MFs and if I had MFs, 401ks or IRAs I would be out and in cash or PMs.

The best play of the decade was gold. And gold is not oversold, by any stretch of the imagination.

Unless your an insider trader getting illegal tips and instructions on when to buy and when to sell, don't waste your time. You will lose everything you have most likely. Look at the casinos...do they look like they are losing money? The stock market is the same thing, dressed up to look smart and safe.

you're

I think silver is the better play.

Try buying physical anywhere near to the price quoted on Comex/Kitco - you will pay a premium.

Buy silver equities - Silvercorp, First Majestic, Silver Wheaton, ECU Silver ...

A very well articulated 2 cents.

Can`t find fault with one word that you wrote, I just pulled all my play money out of the market.

I`m gonna sit on cash for now, let things unfold for a few months and analyse.

That`s interesting you mention Uranium, last I heard the US was running out and would have to rely on Russia, even they are in short supply.
Iran sits Upon large deposits of Uranium.

Good point about Iran having uranium. I think nuclear power will come about, we will build more reactors, despite the negative connotations with nuclear power. But breeder reactors can recycle a lot of the spent uranium, France has had a lot of success their nuclear program. I just read this article the other day about uranium, it has some good info.

I'm 21 years old and I want to start investing/trading stocks to maybe get a little of the pie. I understand it's a risk and I'm willing to take it. I read your replies, some of it was helpful, but didn't really understand much.

I should probably start with that book, Stock Investing for Dummies from Amazon, it's only $14.95 (that should be my first investment).

Negative, still got plenty here in SW Colorado.

I could be incorrect, but I think it is the second largest deposit area behind the Canadian Shield.

Now getting the mining permits, that is a different story.
Lots of government foot dragging.

Options. Leverage. Trend trading.

Read this.

It is fairly long, but very informative.

buy some nice threads and try to hook up with a goldman sacks or walton...

15 or 20 years ago, investing in the market was very different game than it is now. For a beginner to start in todays market, one would have to do a lot of research and tons of fact finding, it's like jumping into a pool full of sharks, with a bloody ham hock tied around your neck.
Watch this video for a start.

When I was a young man I made a few million in the penny stock markets in Denver and then moved on to play in the "big ball game" with the NYSE and NASDAQ in NY. I also made money there, but not nearly as much as with the micro small stocks and 'penny' stocks.

If you invest a few grand, WATCH YOUR OWN MONEY CONSTANTLY!! Daily is not enough. 3 or 4 times a day at a minimum and more if the market is moving in your chosen sectors.

You cannot trust a broker or banker to look out for your money unless they're fucking you - and not for certain even then! Brokers and bankers get paid for bringing new accounts and for trading activity in existing accounts. They don't make one dime more if you make money or loose money! DO NOT EVER FORGET THAT!

Do NOT EVER agree to let someone else manage your cash for a "fee". You'll notice they get their fee, win, loose, or draw. You loose even if you win! Do it yourself and learn what you're doing, or don't consider playing!

If you make money, be modest and quiet about it. Chalk it up to a "fluke" even if you plotted and worked it out for years before trying it in reality! Don't let your friends or co-workers know what kind of money you are making or loosing. Jealousy is a bitch and more than one guy has been brought down by a "friend" who thought you should have shared your profits with him and didn't! That kind of jealousy will motivate people to lie about you and your methods, dealings, etc. To the point of getting you in trouble with the SEC if they go far enough! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! If and when you make a small killing - get out, park your cash someplace safe - and let it rest for a few days or weeks. Don't be greedy. Pick your shots. When there aren't good deals around - don't put your money on the table just to amuse yourself! Too many have lost everything doing so out of boredom! So learn to make your "hit" and then walk away from the table and go vacation someplace you enjoy. Someplace where you can't conveniently play the markets daily! Give yourself a few days or weeks of rest. If it's a big hit, take a month or more! Recovery time for your brain and body are as important as the skills and knowledge and info you use to make the money in the first place.

Give money away to the poor and needy! Do it regularly! And be quiet about doing so. Don't let any organization make a big public show out of a donation you make. The quieter the better! This has a scriptural basis and it works! If you are sloppy about giving your cash away, it won't do much good. The big churches and salvation army have trust funds in the billions and more coming in all the time. Try not to use the BIG BOYS to fund your charity giving thru! Better to find someone who's poor and struggling and pay a years tuition at college or buy a working mother with two kids a small new car that she needs but cannot ever afford. Little seeds sewn can grow great oaks with your cash. Just do it right and don't take credit for doing it!

I once gave a new car to a girl who's mother was a housekeeper at a hotel I stayed at a lot! This woman always made sure I had extra towels (i shower three or four times a day when I'm traveling.) And she made sure the room was made up even if I slept late and left for my first appointment at 4PM. When I got back at 7pm to get ready for dinner, the room was always perfect. When I came back to the room at 1 AM, the bed was turned down, the bathroom done again, and if I had company I didn't have to apologize for the condition of the bathroom! She also put tons of the little "turndown" chocolates on my nightstand! I always tipped her because I knew it was hard work for a woman in her late 50's and I could tell her back and feet were hurting a LOT often times when I saw her working. In talking with her, I found out she had one daughter and the girl was her pride and joy. I too have one daughter so we talked about the girls we both had in our lives! We talked a LOT about them every time I was at that hotel! And I was there one year like every other week for a week at a time!

Her daughter was working her way thru college and had an old beater of a car to drive. The dealer called her and told her to come in and pick out her new Honda. When she finally believed them, she also got the name of an insurance agent who was instructed to set her up with insurance, and plates and fees, etc. I prepaid her insurance premiums for three years on the car, too. The only "string" attached was that she NOT tell anyone (except her mother) how she got the car and that she not try to find out who gave it to her. (Oh, and that she drive carefully and keep her grades up, too!) She graduated a year earlier than planned and is today a partner at a big LA law firm! Her mother retired in style and is living in a condo her daughter bought her in Arizona. So I did a little good with the money. I think. The whole thing then didn't cost me $20k. (Cars were cheaper then mind you!) and it was my way of saying "thank you" for a nearly $240k 'hit' I made in some stock I was playing with!) Do things like that, and you'll never be out of the game completely. Up and down? Yeah, of course you will be. But not out! There is a connection between giving money away and having it come in. I'm not sure exactly how it works but I am sure it does work. About 10% seems to be the magic number. More if you can easily do it or feel you need to do more. But the 10% should be your "minimum" in your head. Be creative and see how much fun you can have helping others! It's far more interesting than making the money in the first place! Promise!

Remember... watch your own money. Do your own investments. Don't pay someone else to manage your money. You'll wind up broke while they get rich off the fees they create. When you start to make it, remember to rest a while between "hits" and let your money rest, too. And finally, give it away when you make it. Like I said - 10% is minimal and more if you can do so. It keeps the whole cycle running somehow! And you'll feel good doing it, too!

You're an absolute idiot if you don't realize this.

Why don't you shut your lyin' stupid fuckin' mouth, asshole? You afraid of the SEC? You probably should be, asshole. WE all know you didn't "make a killin'" because you somehow possess intelligence and the ability to predict the future far beyound the rest of us mere mortals.

You sound like the flunkey asshole I had for a roommate in college for a year. Dumb and useless as a stump, he chain-smoked and wanted to be a stock broker.

I'm feeling generous today, so I'll give you a tip.

Zenn Motor Co Inc, symbol ZNNMF:TSXV

likely to go 10x within a year.

LOL....go fuck yourself. Your tips mean NOTHING because you're either an idiot or you're an illegal POS inside trader.....definitely not smart...you and carrot-top ever vacation together?

If you weren't another anonymous fuckwit I might bookmark this post to come back and show you what a fucking idiot you really are when this stock goes parabolic.
