Entering the stock market
It wasn’t very long ago (alright, maybe it WAS long ago) that I was taking courses in college where we were learning about how less than 2% of the American people own stock! I was amazed to learn that – I thought everyone owned at least a little bit of stock. But apparently, the majority of the Americans are too poor to have any money to invest in Stock Trading.
I think that’s very sad. I’m hoping that the advances being made in the access to buying stocks through Online Trading and getting an Online Broker just might help to change that type of situation. These online services are making it less expensive to enter into the process of buying stock. One of the advantages to using an online service like this is that you don’t feel the same kind of pressure you would feel from a face-to-face broker. I can remember before the Internet was even invented that when I wanted to buy some stock in Disney that the broker made me feel like a total idiot! Well, I bought stock anyway, and it has done well over the years. So don’t feel intimidated, if you have a few dollars to invest, go ahead and do it!
