Part 2.2. Research Finding The Stock For You

When you get all of the stocks you can either organize them by price or organize them by percent change. I usually look at the 52week change and look for a negative number but then positive numbers in more recent weeks. This lets me know that the stock actually moves and just doesn't sit there. Once you find an interesting stock there you can get the symbol and put it into Google Finance.

Google Finance offers much nicer and also easier charts that you can look at. One of the main aspects I like to look at when looking at the charts are spikes. Does this company spike a lot are they have random spikes or do they all spike they same. We want variety. Don't worry if the stock was at one point worth over $200 and now is worth $0.0003 or something. We are looking for potential money making stocks not future Fortune 500 stocks, that is for another day.

Points of interest to us:
Does the Company have a website?
This may sound funny but take a look at the website make sure it exists and looks professional. This means a lot when investing in a company. Why would you want to put your money into a company where there site looks like a 4th Grader made the website or even worse the website doesn't even exist. So website impressions are VERY IMPORTANT.

Does this Company have a main location?
Look at the specs in Google Finance, they will tell you all the information about the company. Make sure it actually has a real address and if you want to verify this copy and paste the address into google and map it.

Read User Reviews!
For these penny stocks you want to read the reviews, not the positive ones that tell everyone to buy but the negative ones. Look for key words such as pump n dump, thiefs, want to report, keep away. That is usually a sign that the company just takes your money by restructuring there company into a different company and then reverse splits the stocks many times till it wastes away all your money.

So you found your stock after all you research and you want to know how many stocks you should buy. How many stocks are enough? The simple answer is as many as you can afford, but also as much money as you can afford to lose.
You can make money from as few as 40 stocks or 240 stocks or 1,000's of stocks. I have had success with them all. But sometimes you just have to choose and be lucky if you only have a few stocks. If the company is not well known and you had to dig deep for it I would suggest a MAX amount of $150 if you are new. But $40 would be the best bet. I started all my investing with $40 turned it into $400 in a month. The I took the $400 I made and Invested in Ford and made $1200. Then I kept investing that money. That doesn't even include the other money I have put in here and there.

Just know the more stocks you own the better the chance of making money. These micro penny stocks go up and down 50% 100% a day. So you put in $40 you could double your investment the first day. That's why they are fast money makers. But people who say money doesn't come easy are right also, on the flip side you could go down 50% the first day. If any of this happens hold onto it and wait it out.

Part 2. Research Finding The Stock For You

One of the main reasons why people don't open up there own investment account that they don't personally handle and manage is because of the time and effort it takes to research stocks and find ones that meet your needs. But with today's technology and advancements in information sharing it has never been easier. There are a wide variety of tools easily accessible for everyone, these include the investment firm you choose such as ETrade or TDAmeriatrade to Google and Morningstar.

My favorite place to find stocks and research them is Google. Its free and gives you many charts and graphs about the stock. www.Finance.Google.com On the main page it will show information about the markets in general and then will give you a break down for each individual sector in the market. You can then compare each sector to one another about possible growth and what the current strong sector is.

Once you choose a company you want to look into you can read all of the latest updates as they happen about the company. There are also a section for user posts, I don't really read as much into those because most looks like spam and or people are just trying to get you to visit there site.

Now to maximize profit potential, in a risk sense, you want to maximize the amount of shares you can purchase. This being said that is why I started off looking for MicroPenny Stocks. These stocks range from .0001 to under $1. That is the target range I usually look for. **Word Of Warning These Are Very Risky Stocks As In Some Might Not Be Legit Companies If A Pink Sheet Stock** But in general I have had very good luck with having legit companies, I think. So how do you go about finding these companies?

I start my research with a combination of two sites ETrade and Google Finance. First start with Etrade research options so I can find a stock in my price range. I will start by searching in a specific sector then I will go and screen stocks because the ones we are looking for are rarely on the main page or news, or at least not until we can afford to purchase more. I have to modify the search and uncheck the 13 week change interval so we expand our search.

Then you get all of the stocks in that sector! You must now organize them by price, cheapest to largest price. Now you don't want to look at junk companies that just stay at the same price for the longest time so this part involves a lot of patience and time. But there is a faster way to get to that just sort by percent change.

Part 1. Choosing an Investment Brokerage Firm

A brokerage firm is a company that allows you to purchase stocks. It is a direct link between you and wall street. You can go to a company and have someone else invest your money for you or you can set up an online account that will let you be in charge of your own money. You can choose to buy what ever stocks you would like in the United States and even around the world. We are looking to do it individually so I would recommend an internet based company, which are very popular these days.

So the first step that one should do when looking to get into the stock market is choose a stock broker firm. The most popular are Etrade, TDAmeritrade, Scottrade, Schwabb and many more. The most important factor for us will be how most does it cost to purchase stock from the company. Many of them advertise $7 trades $9 trades or even less, but in the fine print it says you must put $1000 or more into the account.

When I started off I didn't invest $1000 or more I put in $40 just to get a taste of what the market was like and what it had to offer. I ended up going with Etrade. Though the price to pay for a stock is $11 I felt like it was a more versatile broker that offered a lot more features and was a company that I had heard of a lot more than the others. But you can go to the sites and choose what broker you would like to use. Just as a tip, Schwabb is the most expensive so I would stay away from it.

Now when you get all of your account set up you will need to have your bank account number near by with your routing number so you can set up a direct link to your bank account so you can transfer/wire money over to your new account. The first time you do it will take a couple of weeks because it must verify the money and make sure you are who you say you are.

Now depending if you are wanting to just test out the market or if you are feeling confident and want to make the big bucks you should put in enough money to invest and be able to cover the purchase fee and selling fee of the stock (which in most cases is the same as the purchase fee known as commission fee). I would recommend you put at least $40 in so you have some money to invest with but you won't lose to much if your stock goes down.

Now be aware depending on how much money you put into your account will limit the amount of stocks you can invest in. Meaning if you only put in $40 like I recommend for the younger people you will probably be investing in MicroPenny stocks which mean you probably will never of even heard of the company before. You need to invest a lot more money to be able to purchase stocks of Apple, or Dell, or other companies that are well known and be able to make a significant profit.

Visteon Coportation

Visteon a Fortune 500 company that supplies Ford with parts for cars has filed for bankruptcy Chapter 11. ""During the reorganisation period, we will seek to address our capital structure and legacy costs that are not sustainable given the current economic environment. The results of these actions, combined with our innovative products and excellent product quality, will allow Visteon to emerge a financially sound and well-positioned company."

Visteon was spun off from Ford nine years ago and hasn’t managed an annual profit since then. Earlier this month the company warned that it could be forced into bankruptcy should debt restructuring talks with lenders fail." (Automotiveworld.com)

I am going to sit back an see what comes about with this, because as we all know the airlines are just like this they don't make any money and have all filed for bankruptcy many times. I might get into this once it gets lower.

Stay away from GM until you want to gamble.... Then wait till it goes under $1. It's a pump n dump stock.

Redwood trust (RWD) is a good long term investment
