1. Your Questions About Is It Easy To Make Money In The
Stock Market
James asks…
Making money on the stock market?
This is a general question, but I was wondering, how easy is it to make money on the start
market if you invest in the right stock? Let's say I have $1,000, and there's a company that's
selling shares for $5 each. Then let's say a month later it jumps up to $10 a share, after I've
bought them. Does that mean that I've just made an extra grand? Does that ever happen? And
if so can a person just trade that stock for another stock (if they think it's going to go up later
on) and just keep doing that over and over again until they make a ton of money? I have no
idea if that's possible or not so I thought I'd ask.
Steve Winston answers:
Hi YES u could double your money in theory less broker fees but u would have to know which
stocks and it's very rare to double ur money in a month these volatile days...
Research and knowledge of the company and particular Industry is the key but if I knew which
company will double I ain't going to tell LOL ?

Why don't investors see how easy it is to trade stocks for huge
profits?
I just don't understand why so many are losing big money trying to make money in stocks.
This year i am making huge profits in the stock market buying call and put options. This
market is so easy to make money in but every where i see people losing money and
panicking.
Steve Winston answers:
Because you are just getting lucky.
Options are a way to hedge your risk. But, they can pose significantly more risk than trading
stocks.
If you are just buying puts or calls, you might as well go to the craps or roulette table... Or buy a
lottery ticket.
The analogy that I use: Options are like using a table saw. It's the right tool for certain jobs...
And anyone can run down to Home Depot and buy themselves a Delta Machinery 3 HP Left Tilt

But, if you don't know what you're doing, sooner or later, you're going to lose some fingers.
Buying puts and calls is only part the story. To be effectively profitable you need to combine
BUYING puts and calls with stock and SELLING puts and calls.
Options values change for more reasons than stocks going up or down. You can buy a call,
have the stock go up, and lose money. You can also buy a put, have the stock go down, and
lose money.
If you don't understand theta and vega risk, you better be very careful... Or, sooner or later,
you're going to have a few less fingers.
** Buy the way, just today I watched a friend's "put" trade on Apple go from a value of over
$70,000 to $8,000 in just a matter of few hours. Can you handle that sort of risk?
David asks…
Is the stock market really worth it?
I heard buying stocks is a good and easy way to make money. Is this true or does it sound too
good to be true? If it really is as good as it sounds, then why doesn't everybody just do it?
Right now everyone in my family including myself are struggling for income. Is this a right time
to start?

4. Steve Winston answers:
Buying stocks is a good and easy way to make money ONLY if you invest in stocks that go up.
If you invests in stocks that go down from the time that you buy them, you'll be loosing money
big time! The stock market is a big risk...it's gambling with your money. You might earn money,
but if you lose money and you don't have a lot of it, you'll have a big problem.
Helen asks…
Why is lowering Interest Rates good? Why does stock market go
up?
Seems kind of lame to get all excited about getting less interest on your money in the bank.
The problem with the economy to begin with was people borrowing too much money for things
they can't afford like houses. Now the banks are going to make it a little easier to borrow even
MORE money and that is suppose to be good? Ridiculous.

5. Steve Winston answers:
Businesses that loan money, such as banks, mortgage companies, brokers and credit cards,
can all get more money to loan out for lower rates. The cheaper rates will get more people and
businesses to borrow more and spend it.
Spending helps companies make profits, profit forecasts drive stock prices, so they go up in
anticipation of more commerce (spending) happening.
William asks…
How can I make about $150-200/daily in the stock market?
I am interested in day trading, buying and selling stocks in the same day. A friend of mine
invested $25,000, and usually ends up making at least $2,000/monthly, working as a fully time
day trader. I know it is not easy and there will be loses on some days, but which companies are
good to invest in, short term? My friend has given me a few suggestions, but i would like some
more (please). Thanks in advance to all those who answer. Serious answers only please.
P.S. I am only doing this because I have lost my job and have a family to support. I have had no
luck finding a job and I am still searching, so until I do find a job, I would think its smart to try
and make at least a little money to keep my expenses going. All helps is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!

6. Steve Winston answers:
90% of day traders end up like poker players - broke.
If you want to make that each day, you'll start with 25K or more - maybe you'll be lucky, and do
good for a week. Then go get a real job.

A market in which no one controls the prices is called
A. durability.
B. perfect competition.
C. stability
D. easy money.
Steve Winston answers:
I think competition is good for any business. Makes them try harder to give good service, which
seems to be going out the window these days.
A cheque, as it is spelled correctly, is an order to a bank for money. If anyone knows of a bank
where you can earn interest having a cheque account, please let me know.lol.
Is there a market that no one controls the price of? I'd say that would be easy money.

8. How easy (or difficult) is it to gross $30,000 a year as a short-term
trader?
That's my current salary as a truck driver. I only have a basic computer and a high speed
Internet connection. If I stayed home and devoted myself to the market and making short term
trades, would 30,000 a year earnings be reasonable? Or is that just stupid? I have NO idea how
much money people in the stock market make, or lose. NONE.
Steve Winston answers:
It's totally possible to make a living from short term trading. Most people fail at this attempt.
Swing or day trading both have over a 95% failure rate.
You need skills in;
Technical Analysis
Trading Money Management (risk control)
Trading Psychology (yours and the markets)
The average trader makes about 22% a year..... Many people do much better than that (again
the key is average). To make 30K a year you would need a trading account of about $150,000.
Keep in mind..... It takes, on average, 3-5 years to learn these skills.
I hope this helps.

9. Laura asks…
Why do you put your money in a bank?
You put it there for safe keeping right the bank provides services like checking to make using
your money easier and your money is insured from theft right.
Why are banks allowed to take my money they are supposed to keep safe and gamble with it
on the stock market???
Shouldn't customers funds be separate from this kind of activity? what is the incentive to
"gamble" it well if the taxpayer will just have to pay it back when the banks screws up.
Steve Winston answers:
Banks were at one time regulated to keep a certain portion of their customers money in the form
of cash or gold but now they aren't.
However most smaller banks such as credit unions still operate like the days of old when a
customer made a deposit the bank in-turn used a portion of that deposit to loan out with interest
which paid the depositor interest on their balance and the bank made a profit as well.
