<ol><li>Don’t buy stocks that are hitting 52- week lows.(There is no such thing as a “safe stock.”)</li><li>Don’t trade penny stocks.(A stock that trades under $ 5.) </li><li>Don’t short stocks.</li><li>Don’t trade on margin.</li><li>Don’t trade other people’s ideas. </li></ol>

Five Huge Mistakes That Beginners Make 

<ul><li>An index is simply a collection (or "basket") of stocks. Let's say that we take the 500 U.S. stocks with the largest market caps and toss them into a big basket. That basket is called the <a href="https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500">S& P 500. </a></li><li>There's the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). This is a famous index that goes back to 1896. It always contains<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average#Components"> only 30 companies. </a></li><li>Another well- known index is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasdaq-100#Components">Nasdaq 100</a>, which contains mostly tech companies. </li></ul>

Index

A low or falling stock price will make it difficult for the company to attract top talent. In this way, stocks don't just reflect a company's current prospects, but also play a role in determining a company's future prospects. A company with a high or rising stock price can use that stock to buy out competitors and pay for top talent. That's what Facebook did with WhatsApp and Instagram.

Important Of Stocks For Companies

<ul><li>If you are looking for a good long- term investment, buy a company that has the highest sales in its industry.</li><li>Once a business sells more than any other company in its industry, it becomes very difficult to compete with.</li><li>There's no substitute for being #1 in your industry.</li></ul>Examples:<ul><li>Home improvement- Home Depot;</li><li>Fast food- McDonald's;</li><li>Toothpaste- Colgate Palmolive;</li><li>Payments- Visa;</li><li>Smart phones- Apple; </li><li>Social media- Facebook. </li></ul>

Insider Secrets of the Stock Market 

<ul><li>75% of new traders quit within the first 3 months.</li><li>90% of new traders quit within the first 6 months.</li><li>If you can stick around long enough and keep learning, you will be successful at this game.</li><li>Never forget that. Anyone can learn to play this game. </li><li>Buy the strongest stocks that keep moving up. Add to your winners, get rid of your losers, and don't get too greedy. </li></ul>

The World’s Greatest Opportunity Machine 

<ul><li>A dividend stock will usually make a cash payment into your brokerage account every 3 months. That cash payment is called a dividend. </li><li>Investing in dividend stocks is one of the best ways to build wealth. The reason it works so well is that you can take the cash from a dividend payment and use it to buy more dividend stocks. Then those dividend stocks will pay you more dividends. </li></ul>

Creating Passive Income with Dividend Stocks 

<ul><li>Ronald Read, a janitor lived a simple life and funneled much of his earnings into dividend stocks. When he died at the age of 92, he left behind an $ 8 million fortune, all in dividend stocks. </li><li>You don't need to have a high salary to become a millionaire. You just need to spend less than you earn, and invest the rest in dividend stocks. </li><li>Owning a basket of dividend stocks over a long period of time is one of the best ways to build wealth. </li></ul>

A Janitor - $ 8 Million 

<ul><li>Just copy him. <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html">Go here</a> and download his letter for the most recent year. Scroll down and you will see a list of every stock that Buffett owns.</li><li>An even easier route might be to just buy some B- shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK- B). You can then sit back and relax and let Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and their successors do all of the hard work. </li></ul>

How to Pick Stocks like Warren Buffett 

<ul><li>As an individual, you cannot trade directly on a stock exchange. For that you will need a "broker" or "brokerage account." A broker is simply a middleman who gives people access to a stock exchange. </li><li>Every stock has a bid price and an offer (or "ask") price.</li><li>The bid is the price at which someone is willing to buy the stock.</li><li>The offer is the price at which someone is willing to sell the stock. </li><li>Memorize this phrase right now: “You sell to the bid, and you buy from the ask.”</li></ul>

Bid and Offer Price

"The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power. If you've got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you've got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by 10 percent, then you've got a terrible business."

"It's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong."

<ul><li>Some people like to buy stocks and hold them for many years. We call them "investors."</li><li>Other people like to buy and sell stocks more quickly, maybe holding them for only an hour, a day, a week, or a month. We call these people "traders." </li></ul>


Investors Vs Traders

<ul><li>A stock is a share of ownership in a company.</li></ul>Ex: When I buy 100 shares of McDonald's, I become a partial owner of the company. I become a "shareholder."<ul><li>Stocks move based on the laws of supply and demand. If a lot of people want to buy a stock, the share price will move up. Then if a very large investor comes in and starts to dump his stock, the price of the stock will move down. </li></ul>

What Is A Stock? 

Stocks are usually bought and sold on what are called "stock exchanges." A stock exchange is simply a place where buyers and sellers show up and exchange their shares for money, or their money for shares. <ul><li>The NYSE is best known for its blue chip (high- quality) stocks like Coca- Cola and McDonald's.(KO (Coca- Cola) or HD (Home Depot))</li><li>The Nasdaq is best known for its tech stocks like Netflix and Apple.(AAPL (Apple) or NFLX (Netflix))</li></ul>

How to Get Started with Stocks? 

<ul><li>Never buy a stock just because it is "cheap" or has a low P/ E. (Price-Earning Ratio)</li><li>The key to making a lot of money is not losing a lot of money in the process. </li><li>Keep your losses small and manageable, especially while you are still in the learning phase. It’s OK to buy just 1 share of stock when you are testing out a new strategy </li></ul>
