Steve Winston answers:
The key to investing as a beginner is investing in safe companies that beat earnings estimates
(i.e. Surprise investors with better than expected profit for each financial quarter). Also, when
one starts to invest, I certainly suggest diversifying your investments.
A model portfolio of winning stocks would look like this:
1. Financial Stock: Goldman Sachs
2. Energy Stock: General Electric
3. Biomedical Stock: Teva Pharmaceutical
4. Technology Stock: Google
5. Retail/Consumer Stock: Coldwater Creek

Stock market questions.... help?
I have a few question's. i have been playing in a stock market game for a while. When i want
to purchase a stock all i have to do is fill in how many stocks i want to buy and press submit.
The system tells me that my order was placed. Lets say i place a order for a stock at $1 per
share. Lets say u purchased 1000 shares of it. So i just spent $1000 plus my $7 for the
transaction. Lets also say that for the past hour the stock was at $1.10 per share and it just
went down to $1 per share when i purchased it. Does my order always stay at a $1 per share,
even if just seconds after my purchase, the each share went back up to $1.10 a share? I am
not sure if once my order is placed, that price i placed my order on is secure. Also, how long
until i could turn around and sell it for the top dollar price? How fast would it take me to get my
share put in my account? What would happen if i tried to sell my stocks for $1.10 a share (lets
say all 1000 shares) and i placed the order, then just second after i placed my order, the stocks
went down .15 cents per share. What would happen then. Would someone buy my shares for
the $1.15 per share? or would i be SOL.
I am very interested in this short term trading. I have the time and money to set for hours in
front of a computer and sell and trade stock fast. I don't want to hang on to stock really long.
In the stock market game, it seems that when i place a order for a stock at the price i see on
my computer, that is the price i get it at. It seems to go straight into my account after the
2/7

3. purchase. Then when the market goes up, even seconds after the buy, i can sell it for that
price and almost instantly get that money back in my account, with the small profit i made. Is it
all this easy? or is there some real time delay int the real world? If so, i could see the problems
with the stock market being a hard game to play. I have seen stock within seconds just shoot
up and go down. So my question is could one make money in these few second.
Thanks
Steve Winston answers:
These are the sort of questions you should ask the platform provider. If you have a limit price
then the sytem shouldn't fill a trade outside your limits. The market prices are changing
continuously. When you press submit there is only milliseconds delay although it may be a
liquidity problem. If you are trying to buy 1000 shares at $1 and that is the Ask there may only
be 500 shares on offer.

Steve Winston answers:
Trade options, but be prepared to lose a much or more as what you expect to make. As the
previous answer says, your goals are too optimistic.

Steve Winston answers:
I wouldn't concentrate on stock picking until you know what you're looking for. Read the tutorials
on investopedia.com
As for getting started in investing, I would tell you to wait until you are 18, but it would be
ashame if you missed the beginning of the next bull market. I am not invested yet, I am waiting
for confirmation (from the A/D indicators and McClellan Summation index, as well as a few other
breadth indicators). My suggestion to you would be to buy a few exchange-traded funds or
mutual funds to begin, and do your research in the process. Also note that, in order to buy the
right exchange traded funds and mutual funds for you, it will take a lot of research. You can find
funds through screeners such as yahoo, and I would suggest that you read the morningstar
book for picking funds. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Even if you throw darts at stocks and diversify that way, you will make money. The problem is
that you need at least twenty or so stocks to be safe from risk, which can be anywhere from 100
- 600 in commissions alone (I'm assuming your dad's account offers 5 or more dollars a trade,
though there are some that are less). One ETF will cost one trade, and a mutual fund is usually
10 or 15 bucks to get into.
What I do is read the tutorials and books, etc., while keeping a handful of note pads with which I
used to write down everything I need to remember and all ideas I have. I also have a document
for everything I learned on yahoo answers (check out my questions, there is a lot).
Let me know if you have further questions.

6. Carol asks…
Who bought stock 'puts' from Bear and Stearns before the stock
fell and sold it making over 200 million?
The putative conspirators, whose name or names have not been made public, pulled off their
heist with ease. They bought a bunch of what Wall Street calls "puts." A put is a piece of paper
guaranteeing its owner the right to sell 100 shares of stock at a stated price within a specified
period of time. In the case of this bank job, the period of time was as little as five days.
With Bear Stearns stock selling at over $60 a share, somebody bought the right to sell almost
6 million shares at $30 a share. To make money on these puts, the price of Bear Stearns
stock would have to lose more than half its value fast. In fact, in the days immediately after
the unknown person or persons bought all those puts, Bears Stearns stock dropped like a duck
shot out of the sky, to a price of $10 a share or less. The persons behind the scheme then
bought Bear Stearns shares at $10 or less and exercised the puts, thereby selling them for $30
and pocketing the difference.
How could someone know that in a matter of days the fifth-largest trading house on Wall Street
would see the value of its stock drop to next to nothing?
Then with the price of stock still above $50, somebody bought puts giving them the right to sell
the stock at five dollars a share--which is about what you would expect to be the price of the
shares of a company in bankruptcy. Matsumoto quotes one broker as saying, "When you buy
$5 strikes [puts] when the stock is trading over $50, you either have to be manipulating, or you
have to have insider information." Another broker quoted in his report remarked, "Nobody in
their right mind would buy that put unless you knew what was going down."
The timing of the purchase of the puts screams out that a well-placed person inside Bear
Stearns was telling someone on the outside of the firm's increasing confusion and division. At a
crucial moment when rumors were rife on Wall Street that Bear Stearns customers would not be
able to withdraw their money, the stock market was hit by a large number of orders to sell
Bear Stearns stock. That augmented the force of the rumors of insolvency already working to
depress the price, even as panicky customers fell over one another getting their money out.
There are too many disastrous coincidences here to be explained just by bad luck.
The name of the bearer of this bad luck remains hidden. A spokeswoman for the Chicago
6/7

7. Board of Options Exchange, where the puts were bought, has refused to tell Bloomberg the
name.
Steve Winston answers:
That's exactly how they do it.
The criminal Elites and big fat corps who control the Us economy and financial market, corner
the market all the times and making Billions both ways: Up or Down.
Regards, and good to see you.
