Stock Investing Tips From Brokers by Mark Walters

Very few investors have a chance to talk to a stock broker from a large firm. Even if they do find themselves sharing a conversation with a real stock broker, it is unlikely that they will learn any trade secrets. It is not that brokers belong to a secret society. Brokers are often uncomfortable talking with novice brokers because it usually ends up in an argument.

There is so much evergreen, rehashed information on the Internet, that many novices are die-hard fans of out dated investing methods long before they ever learn how the brokers invest.

Avoid Hot Stocks

This is laughable in the investment world, but novice investors are constantly attracted to the hot stocks. Unfortunately, all the big money has been made before the stock became hot.

Cash Flow

The brokers do not worry about the news, politics, or business plans and propaganda of companies. Instead, they look at the balance sheets. Avoid any company that carries a high debt, even if it is in overdrafts and open ended loans.

A company with little debt is capable of losing a massive amount of sales, go through a restructuring, and step back into the market, without loosing stock value.

Avoid Speculation

Long shots are called ‘long shots’ because they almost always miss the mark. If someone walks around telling people about the next biggest boom, then experienced investors wonder how much of a ‘cut’ the sales person is getting.

No company can make a simple change, merger, or restructuring, and then have their stocks shoot up overnight. Seeing stocks head down 80% overnight is quite common, but up? Almost never.

Follow the Gurus

While it is not necessary to follow the crowd, it is important to follow the gurus. Fool.com is one of the world’s most popular investor’s website. While no guru can get it right, most of the time, learning from the gurus can help novice investors stack the odds in their favour.

Avoiding controversial stocks and dark horses is a commandment for most guru investors.

Warren Buffett, who wrote in his 1989 annual letter:

"Easy does it. After 25 years of buying and supervising a great variety of businesses, Charlie and I have not learned how to solve difficult business problems. What we have learned is to avoid them. To the extent we have been successful, it is because we concentrated on identifying one-foot hurdles that we could step over rather than because we acquired any ability to clear seven-footers. The finding may seem unfair, but in both business and investments it is usually far more profitable to simply stick with the easy and obvious than it is to resolve the difficult."

Long Term Investing

Most new investors watch their stocks float daily. Many investors destroy their opportunities by trading too much. Stocks should be treated like a business.

The daily price of the stock is unimportant. What is important is whether the company will make more money than last year, reduce their debts, and capture a larger segment of the market.

Conclusion

Stock investing is not like trading Baseball cards, and should not be treated as suck. Avoid spam that promises quick profits, secrets to wealth, and insider tricks. Instead, follow the patterns used by real stock brokers.

The Accumulation of Wealth

The accumulation of money with zero investment starts with personal labor –Zero investment and money? Yes! You read me right. Everybody has a personal earning potential; that is the ability to earn a living from personal labor. This could be either mental or physical earning potentials or a combination of both.

The mental means in this regard could be in-born talents, creative faculty manifestations, and knowledge acquired through training or accumulated by experience. They include, but are not limited to selling, singing, acting, drawing, painting, speaking, songwriting etc. Free lancing and White collar jobs all came about from the potential of earning through the mental means.

The physical earning potentials comes from physical attributes of a person that makes him or her gifted in one or more physical endeavor e.g. running, jumping, non-mechanized farming, playing football, boxing, playing lawn tennis etc. The mental earning potentials are expressed through physical means and should not be mistaken with the physical earning potentials- which are as a result of physical attributes, arising from developed muscles or body organs.

Starting with zero-capital base, you will need to utilize these earning potentials so as to build a financial base. This financial base is where you raise money to invest in other endeavors and reach a level where your money begins to work for you.

Utilizing the personal earning potential is the easiest means of starting the journey to money land. In this case, any difficulty encountered is easily overcome with minimal lose, as opposed to borrowing money for investment purposes.

The use of the personal earning potential may be slow but it’s a most sure way of acquiring money. Its probability of success is higher than other means, because it largely depends on your sincerity to yourself and the means used. It also provides a gradual learning period for any endeavor you wish to go into.

In your bid to make it from hungering for money than actually touching the money, zero to hero, or to stash that cash…start from within. You have the potentials

Too much money...

Money is not scarce as we are made to believe. It abounds. It might be scarce or limited in our pockets but not around us. It might not be readily seen because it is in disguise. Its disguise is in problems, needs, and desires.

Every product or service is a solution to a problem, need or desire. And when products or services are successfully exchanged with for a commensurate fee, money has been created. Money in its real sense is a means of exchange of value-value itself is not in the money, it is in the product or service being exchanged. The amount of money given for a product is a measure of the value of the product-and value attached to a product varies from person to person.

The manufacturer or seller of a product or service collects money in exchange for the value of the product, so as to satisfy his own needs or desire that can not be satisfied by the product exchanged.
…there are unlimited problems that crop up everyday, desires and needs lying idle, waiting for one innovative enough to kiss it and turn them into a means of exchange of value-Money. Go ahead! Stash that cash.
