An investment guide – everybody needs one. We all need something that is simple to use and sure to work, something quick and effortless. One of the best investment guides that you can have on your side is a stock locater.

So what exactly does a stock locater do? Well, a stock locater is someone who researches stocks for you and shares with you which stocks to trade in, basically, a living investment guide. Stock locaters do all the hard and dirty stuff like chart analysis and data crunching. This saves you the trouble of doing them yourself and caters to those who do not have the expertise or the spare time to do it on their own. So how do you decide if you want a stock locater or not?

Well, that question has to be answered with another, are you confident of investing on your own? As mentioned above, having an investment guide helps but different people have different viewpoints of what it means to have an investment guide. Ultimately, if you want quick and efficient service or if you want safe and reliable predictions, then you should definitely consider a stock locater.

Let’s go over the advantages and disadvantages of getting a stock locater.

Advantages

Stock locaters are known to boost your profits from the stock market. Now, I am definitely not saying that you will be rich overnight but I am saying that with the guiding expertise of a professional, you are more likely to profit from the stock market. Let’s put things this way, it is common knowledge that stocks profit by about 10% every year on average. However, with a stock locater, the sky is the limit with some people even pocketing 20 – 30% returns on their portfolio. So as you can see, a little professional guidance can go a long way in helping you earn money, it can even double your returns!

The second advantage is of course, time. Many veteran investors still invest in stock locaters even after trading for 10 years. The reason is simple, with a stock locater doing the hard work for you, it makes it easier to go about your daily life without worrying too much about your investments. For most of us, investment is not our day job, we have other commitments to see to. Investing in a stock locater ensures that your everyday life is not disrupted.

Thirdly, stock locaters are able to personally guide you through the potential landmines of stock investment. Stock investing has a steep learning curve, it will seem confusing and off-putting. A stock locater will guide you through all this with frequent and helpful newsletters and also offer real, working advice, unlike all the other hoaxes on the internet.Finally, investing in a stock locater is not only for beginners. Even experienced traders can benefit from an investment guide. Consider this: even if you are experienced enough to know which stocks are good investments, it is still far easier to proofread someone’s work than it is to come up with something by yourself. This way, the protection factor is two-fold as the investment is only made after it has been screened by two pairs of experienced eyes.

Disadvantage

On the downside, there may be expenses incurred in investing in a stock locater so your actual returns might be slightly less than the profits quoted on the website.

Conclusion

Ultimately though, you have to look at your situation and decide if you feel a stock locater will help you out. In the long run, rather then wander aimlessly around in the stock market, it might be wise to take action of your investments, invest in a stock locater and start making your fortune today!

With so many business opportunities in the internet, ad sense, click bank, Amazon etc, one not only needs to know how to identify a genuine opportunity but also one which will give the best returns. Even the best business opportunity can miss returns if you do not know how to run it. The success of any business venture largely depends on how the business owner is able to identify customer needs and effectively satisfy them. This means that the business owner should religiously update him/herself with the current business trends. Thus the best way to remain in business when you realize that you are beginning to make losses is to carry out a market research for your products.

The detention of your business failures is far much effective through research than by just trying to identify them theoretically. One draw back of research however, is that it becomes hard to establish trends when the consumers have changing needs and therefore do not follow a specific pattern.

Nevertheless, you better establish that consumer needs are changing for this will allow you to change the kind of products you trade in.

Much has been said about internet business. It is argued that it is not easy to identify which business pays. The truth is that most of such businesses are paying but the challenge is who to market such products. Marketing internet businesses take different forms. What you need to establish is which strategy work for you. Remember that marketing is essential in all business ventures.

Stock market investing is not for the faint hearted! One wrong move and you’re toast! So, what I’ve done is written an article that will serve as a guide and compel you to think strategically about stock investing. I’m a big fan of evolutionary investing and earning your right to risk. If you’re new to stock market investing then this beginner’s guide should point you in the right direction to safe and highly profitable stock market investing.

There’s no doubt about it that stock investing is a key part of wealth building. Oftentimes, I’m asked by early-stage investors: “How do I go about investing in the stock market?” Oftentimes, I blithely respond “Don’t, you’re not ready yet”. I say this for impact. I want people to take note and avoid getting roasted by the stock market. I want people to ask themselves the real question behind the question, that is: “Am I ready to invest in the stock market?” Puzzled!? Let me explain. If you’re a stock market beginner, listen up!Pyramid Investing – What Shape is Your Pyramid?No, I’m not talking about buying shares in heavily-eroded ancient Egyptian pyramids! A sound investing framework is regularly depicted as a pyramid – investing first in a secure base of cash and cash equivalents (Money Market Funds, Certificates of Deposit etc) then moving up the pyramid into bonds (government and corporate) before you start investing in large-cap stocks and so on. Most novice investors I know get involved in stock market investing too early without having earned the right to risk. They haven’t built a sufficient, secure base to their investment pyramid first and leap-frog their way to the top of the pyramid in pursuit of high returns. Indeed, some make the same mistake by leap-frogging into real estate investment too soon also. Their lack of experience and financial intelligence means they expect to make quick and large returns, but oftentimes instead end up losing a lot of their hard-earned capital. As budding sophisticated investors, we want to avoid these pitfalls. I believe in earning your right to risk. Read on to see what I mean by this.Earn Your Right to Invest/RiskHere’s my take on becoming wealthy through stock investing. First of all, if you haven’t saved at least 6-12 months of living expenditure you are not yet ready. Since we are interested in wealth building and learning how to become rich for life (and not just temporarily) then we want to follow a process that enables us to become wealthy and stay wealthy. After you’ve put away 6-12 months in expenditure, you’re now in a position to invest in the base of your pyramid i.e. cash and cash equivalents. After that you can move up the pyramid into the domain of government and corporate bonds etc. Only then have you earned your right to risk. Only then do you have a secure enough financial footing and intelligence to now be in a position to invest in the stock market safely. Investing isn’t a hobby and shouldn’t be treated as one. Hobbyist, novice investors get toasted. They invest too much of their capital, too soon. If their stocks soar quickly, they get emotional and greedy and invest more capital with no sound investment basis. They might get lucky once or twice and make large gains but more often than not the opposite occurs. If their stocks plummet they get emotional and fearful and sell up everything… at a loss. Beware the Dinner-Party Investment “Tip”Dinner parties and pub talk are great ways for socialising but not so hot when it comes to investment strategies. In fact, you could do worse than take a contrarian view and sell when everyone’s talking about buying and vice-versa. Rather than thinking short term and chasing after the next big stock rise tipped at dinner-party tables, I believe it’s better to behave like a long-term investor. For me, this means owning low-cost index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the most tax-sheltered manner i.e., using pre-tax money in retirement accounts like 401ks, IRAs etc It should be pointed out that I don’t think buying individual shares is the central pillar of any smart wealth building strategy. Unless you’ve got oodles of time on your hands and a real penchant for technical analysis I suggest avoiding spending the remainder of your stock investing days, hand-picking individual stocks. If you really must, and you’ve already built up sufficient security elsewhere in your investment portfolio (as per the investment pyramid framework mentioned above), it’s ok to play with a very small amount of capital (e.g. less than 10%) on buying stocks directly so long as you’re thinking long-term and intend holding onto these stocks for years or possibly even decades!Know Your Fundamentals There are numerous stock investing trading strategies – scalping, momentum trading, technical trading, fundamental trading, swing trading etc. If you’re a beginner at stock investing than I think the best trading strategies is fundamental analysis. After all, one of the world’s best know and wealthiest investors, Warren Buffet, undertakes fundamental analysis of the stocks and securities he buys. Fundamental analysis requires that you understand the key business financial indicators such as Cash-flow, Earnings and Balance Sheet positions as well as some of the main financial ratios used to value stocks e.g. P/E Ratio, Return on Equity, Earnings Growth Rate, Debt to Equity ratio, Dividend Yield etc. Developing your fundamental analysis skills will stand you in good stead in both the investment and business world.Where to Trade – Should You Have a Stockbroker?With the advent of online trading anyone can be up trading within 24-48hrs of reading the latest edition of “Stock Investing for Dum.mies”! However, from my experience online trading platforms are littered with financial casualties. Novice investors get torn to shreds not by the online platforms but by their own lack of knowledge, technical unfamiliarity, and the emotions of greed and fear. Momentum trading through online platforms (e.g. OptionsExpress,, eTrade, SaxoWebTrader etc) requires you to develop Technical Analysis skills and have in-depth knowledge of technical indicators (e.g. Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), the Rate-of-Change (ROC) indicator, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Bollinger Bands, Stochastics etc) and identify chart patterns (e.g. Head and Shoulders, Cup and Handle, Triangles, Breakouts etc). If you do want to jump onto some online trading platform and begin stock trading then it can be a really good idea to begin stock trading with a virtual/simulated account. That way you make your mistakes using phantom money.Even though I’m somewhat sceptical of the average stock-broking firms’ modus operandi, it can be a good starting point for budding investors. Treat the whole experience as an exercise in sleeping with the enemy! Sure, you’ll pay higher trading commissions than you would through an online trading platform and you may or may not make some gains. However, that said, you should at least avoid getting skinned alive and you’ll gain some valuable insights and knowledge from the process. In Summary:Remember the words of legendary businessman Donald Trump, “sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make”. When it comes to stock market investing this saying could be more apt! I highly recommend beginning stock market investing when you are ready i.e. after you have earned the right to risk. If you’re interested in learning more about this wealth building concept then check out my website and other articles.Many beginner guides to stock market investing focus on: understanding risk, valuation methodologies, stock market indices etc. I think there’s enough info on this already out there so what I wanted to do was offer some structure and some strategic thinking behind your stock market investing beginnings. I hope you found the article worthwhile. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you like what you’ve read and think this could be useful to someone else, please share…share the knowledge, share the wealth!
