What are the risks? by Hubris252 http://ForexOnlineSoftware.org/what-are-the-tax-implications-of-investing-in-the-stock-market-what-are-the-risks/comment-page-1/#comment-20787 Hubris252 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 14:57:31 +0000 http://ForexOnlineSoftware.org/what-are-the-tax-implications-of-investing-in-the-stock-market-what-are-the-risks/#comment-20787 With that small amount of money it would probably be best to find a high-yield savings account and build up your investment capital. Once you have about $1000 you can put it into an index fund (small and mid cap do best in a recovery). When you have around $3000 then you can start buying individual stocks. You need that much money in order to be able to have meaningful amounts invested over a diversified portfolio of 5 or 6 individual stocks. Taxes come in to play when you sell shares, you will have to pay capital gains taxes on any profits you make when you sell. How much your capital gains tax is depends on what tax bracket you are in. If you own the stock for less than a year you pay regular federal income taxes on your gains, if you own the stock for over a year then you pay the long term rate. If you are in the bottom 2 tax brackets then your long term capital gains rate is 0%, if you are in the top 4 brackets then your long term capital gains rate is 15%.

Open up a portfolio without using real money. You can give yourself as much or as little money to try out the market. The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody's got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression. That's the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won't lose money. It's just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too. Then once you're comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They're excellent for beginners.

Everyone says their system is the best. You can get a general idea of different strategies, then decide which is best. You will find out their systems don't always work. The market doesn't always fit into their formulas. If a stock has bad news or their earnings start going down, systems go out the window. Paper trading is always good-pretend to buy a stock, write it down and see what happens. If you get good at it, do it with money. Try out different strategies on paper. Stay away from too risky strategies. The best teacher is the market itself. Check the market often, see how stocks react over time to news and earnings and maybe you will develop your own system.

It would allow you to learn along the way (by just monitoring your account's activities/performance/portfolio) at the same time get you into the "action" :-). The risk is definitely there, as with stock investment; however, it would be lower than if you are to invest in individual stocks yourself. If you don't have a broker already, I recommend Vanguard. It offers many low-fee/no-load funds for you to choose from. Best wish! If you ask these questions, my recommendation is to go with indexed funds.

So if I have dollars now, i'll change them for pesos before the dollar reaches rock bottom. I am from the Philippines and the US dollar has lost 20% against our currency, the peso.
