Stock Prices in Stock Market

If you’re into music, you surely know the Pricetag song.  
If you don’t, find life! HAHA. But I recommend the very cool version of the super pretty Julie Anne San Jose. 

While I agree to its compelling and timely message that it’s really not about the money, I guess a better line would be “It’s not about the money, money, money, ALONE”.  HAHA

Of course it’s about the money. 
Let's all make the world dance!

Investing in Ten Little Steps

In this blog, let's answer this common question on investing:  So how do I start?

As mentioned in my previous blog, the first step is to have the money to invest, which requires the step of investing in yourself.

My latest blog also tells you that you can never do it alone, and thus you would need to look for your stock broker.

How to Choose Your Stock Broker?

Here is the greatest irony of investing - You need to have a broker to be whole.  

Okay, it’s corny, I know.

But kidding aside, you need the service of a broker for you to invest in our stock market.

Sad to say, you can’t make your million alone. You’ll need their presence.

These brokers place orders in the stock exchange in your behalf. In exchange, they receive some commission for every buy or sell transaction they match for you.

Two Types of Brokers

Before, there were only people brokers.

This is the chaotic scene you’ve seen in the Wall Street movie.

If you have parents or grandparents who have invested in stocks, most probably they have done it through live brokers.

They would contact their broker buddy thru a phone call, and instruct them audibly their desired transactions.

And these people depend on newspapers business page to know the market results the previous day.
