subject: Is Stock Trading A Thing Of The Over? [print this page] Given the recent events of the stock market crashing all over the globe again and again without a means for bouncing back, it is over? Not by a long shot! Why I say this is because I watch it obsessively close and paying attention to future trends. Also aware that the media is not reporting the "bad news" correctly but more a hyped version to boost their ratings.
Of course I watch the money channels and hear what the veteran traders are saying like Mr. "booya" himself and his Mad Money show, he has a good handle on things if you look past the hyper fast talking charade. Trading stocks are volatile no doubt these days, but can still be lucrative if you know what to look out for. Gold and other precious metals have always been and will continue to be a solid investment, it is a physical product you can hold in your hand unlike a stock, go ahead and try to pick on up, it's just a piece of paper.
Buying stocks needs a little intuition and some experience. For instance I noticed that the coffee powerhouse Starbucks has taken a more fast food approach to its business to broaden it's customer base, get them in and get them out plus upsell those tasty pastries that are becoming more inexpensive. If you have noticed the chairs are not as comfortable to discourage people from spending all day in there and milking one cup of Joe. Watch their stock increase, it is climbing steadily and there are posting huge profits since their recent voluntarily restructuring, take note they were never in financial trouble, just saw an opportunity to condense and profit like most other companies are doing.
Then there is the forex market and penny stocks. Forex is alive and well, but one needs to know how it properly operates and what robots or software's are best for their interests. Forex Bulletproof is very powerful and only for solid traders. Penny stocks are a wise chose due to their low cost and potential high yield, you could trade those all day long and still turn a nice profit, not huge but a profit nonetheless unless you have many portfolios going at once.
