Investment in Stocks

I do not understand anything about stock market or how to invest in Shares. Can someone tell me where to get started and how to invest without burning my fingers much? #stock #stockmarket #stockoptions #investment #sharespost

Put 60% VTSAX 40% VTIAX. Regularly. Rebalance yearly. Sleep well. Or do all the research you want and come to the same conclusion in 10 years

These are mutual funds right? You recommend these over us directly investing in stocks?

Why VTIAX? I don’t see good returns on that

Just dump your money in a target retirement index fund, e.g. vanguard or schwab and forget about it.

You will want to learn small so that you do not loose money you can't afford to loose. There are a million stock buying strategies. You have to find what fits your personality. Sounds stupid but, "how to make money in stocks" by William O'Neil

I find it better to narrow down all the options and pick a strategy. This one is detailed, simple, and will get you going in the right direction. You can find new stocks to research that follow the principles of this book with Investor Business Daily. This is the C.A.N.S.L.I.M. method. Once you see Cups with handles and W charts bouncing off the 50 day average it's starts getting better and better.

Get a Ts Ameritrade account, buy low cost s&p 500 mirror ETF (like IVV), — do not put any money that you will need in the next 5 years in (car purchase, house downpayment, etc) — you must set dividends to automatically reinvest. Robinhood does not have this feature so I can’t recommend it on TD Ameritrade most etfs are free to trade — do not take money out on volatility (put it in for 10-30 years and do not take it out before no matter how smart you think people advising you are) You will end up with about 7% compounded annual return, double your money roughly every 10 years. So in 30 years you get 800% return, inflation adjusted. Anyone promising more is gambling with odds against them.
