Watch Your Stock Portfolio
When it comes to good 401k advice I have to tell you the best way to make big gains in stock market investing is to keep close tabs on your stock market prices. If you're a player and you want to come out ahead, keeping a close eye on the rise and fall of stock prices is absolutely essential.
Watching your stocks has to be a daily habit. Check the stock market listings in the business section of your paper daily and double check for the most up-to-the-minute prices on the internet. Keep track of the history of your stocks and follow every rise, every fall and the fluctuations in between.
It's a good idea to track the performance of your stocks by reading the monthly statements sent by your broker. Use the Internet to keep abreast of stock prices in the interim.
If you're following a tip on a hot new stock, watch it for a while. Make note of the ups and downs of your potential new stock. Once you're more familiar with its history, you can buy with more confidence.
Extra cash or a bit of a financial windfall can be used to increase the amount of stock you own. Top up stocks that have been performing well. Remember the importance of diversifying your portfolio because it really is true what they say. Don't' put all your eggs in one basket.
Do you know your broker's phone number? If you're paying close attention to your stocks, you'll know when it's time to buy or sell and you'll want to act fast. Instruct your broker as to what to do as well as a price. Everything can be handled by the broker. All you need is a confirmation number when the deal is complete.
Read industry papers such as the Wall Street Journal or Barrons. Both contain not only market prices but news and information that will affect the entire stock market.
Be warned that like a bomb, the stock market can "go off" at any moment. It is very volatile which is why sometimes cooler heads must prevail. Look three years down the road when investing in the stock market and don't dump your stocks impulsively if they start to take a nose dive. Take a look at your stocks over time.
Congratulations! Day trading can be profitable for those who are vigilant, but remember it still takes a lot of hard work and sophistication. - 23310
