How can I invest in the stock market? - Page 2

I think he wants to buy stocks from a company or two. I think he is better off buying mutual funds or CD's unless he has a lot of money. Besides, he is only 15 years of age.

No it does not, actually. Especially not for me who wants a long term investment.

Considering the fact that by staying in this country I'm pretty much screwed and damned to attend a public university even though I keep a 3.8 GPA I'll be going to the same crappy school that the kid with then 2.0- GPA attends, not only that but I'll have to pay four times what he pays just because my state doesn't consider me a resident.

I'm just going back to my country and study business law, it's cheaper and it's a top university in the country and for way less than I'd have to pay for that ridiculously overpriced out of state Tuition cost.

I want to invest on certain stocks which I know will give me a much better return.

I do want to buy stocks from certain companies. I'm sorry but Warren Buffet wasn't investing in mutual funds when he was my age.

Please don't give me investment advice (And I know that it sounds rude, but I'm truly sorry), I know what I'm doing with the money. I have been studying the stock market for over a year, My only problem is that I run the risk of getting deported.

Well, I wish you the best of luck with your investments. However, you are right about sounding rude. Here is some advice, learn to rephrase statements that have negative connotations. You'll learn this in business 101 though. Once again, good luck.

Having a retirement plan and building up your compound interest isn't the same as playing the stock market. It takes years of experience and lots and lots of research to play it well. The more fluid it is (like forex), the more dangerous it is.

What you're doing is risky. People usually keep separate portfolios; one being expendable money (these are money used to play stock market to make you more money).

Anyways like I said I'm in trading systems so thats software. I am in no way a finance expert but I'm just trying to convey some basic knowledge.

Seems you know a lot kid.
Well I plan to invest in mutual funds, but I also do plan to choose some companies to invest on.

Let me tell you one thing though. One year of experience is nothing. I already have two years of experience. My dads side of the family is heavily involved in stock market, hence they are Rich(We are talking millions here). In which they told me a lot of secrets and advice. (You have no idea how corrupt the stock market is) Also I took classes in high school and plan to major on Economics for College.

***Why dont i live with my dad and his rich family? Because they rejected me when I was three.

Over a year? Stock brokers have studied their trade for years and have made a career out of it. No offense and not to sound rude but I don't think at 15 it would be appropriate to be getting into stocks, really, there's no hurry. If you are very serious about this, go to a stock broker. It's not just about studying the market, any professional will tell you that.

Congrats on deciding to major in Economics. It is a fun field. Just take all of the math that you can stomach. If you plan to get a PhD, you better double major in Econ and Math.

So anyway...

Yeah, don’t worry about a thing. As long as you pay taxes (hence the need for an ITIN) you’ll be okay. You won’t get deported or anything.

And if you want to invest in the market, I say go right ahead. It’s not like you’re blindly investing millions of dollars or anything. Also, if you’ve been studying the market for a year, that should get you through just fine. By the same token, have realistic expectations. I mean, you won’t become the next Stevie Cohen on $5,000.

Good luck, and have fun.

I make 100-150% return on investment monthly with what i do and it's not the stock market. If you think you can make money right away on the stock market then you are truly a dreamer. You're 15 and we're not changing your mind so i don't really know why ask this question here if you have all the answers.
