How Much Should I Invest in Stocks?

sree94 · 11-11-2009, 03:10 AM

I have finally gotten to the point where I am making a lot of extra cash each month, and I am trying to figure out the best way to spend it

My parents are trying to get me to invest most of it in stocks. But would I be better off putting it back in my business? I mean, within the last month, I started two new PPC campaigns, and have almost tripled my money. Should I keep on that track?

I guess my question is, what should the split be between $$ spent on my business, and personal investments?

I'm in the opinion, continue doing what you do best. Since PPC is making you money, continue with it

Very common I heard advise from fund manager in my country saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket" - but all those fund manager are making a living earning salary, yet they teach others how to create passive income lol.

I know Warrent Buffett said, they don't put all the eggs in one basket because they lack the skill and knowledge to do that.

The choice is yours.

Always put a little in the back pocket and invest in a few things, but I would invest a good portion of your earnings back in your business. You will likely see your business grow a lot faster than any stock or alternative investment.

Its just always smart to not invest 100% in one thing so keep that in mind.

If you don't know anything about stock investing then don't invest. If you decide to invest, use your head. Investing long term in mutual funds is a relatively safe practice. Investing in companies that have consistantly been growing in the past 5 years would also be a safer bet. Also, prepare yourself for the long run. Never invest in a stock because you heard a tip or read something in the paper or a magazine. Also make sure you do some research. Most companies will provide you will earning reports etc to help you make an informed decision.

Dont just go into stocks alone. Try housing as well. By investing into something other than your business you generate another income stream, which is very important. If your business ever suffers then you have another area that will be brining in money. Thats what all the big boys do.

Real estate and cash value whole life insurance.

Avoid the stock market ponzi scheme like the plague.

Let me tell you about three books that changed my financial life for the better:

The Ten Truths of Wealth Creation: How to Achieve Your Money Goals by John E. Girouard

Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash

and...

Killing Sacred Cows by Garrett B. Gunderson

I suggest all three, but pick even just one...read it...and your life will be flipped upside down.

You can make a lot of money in Penny Stocks if you know what your doing and do a few months of research. I use to do this back 20 years ago and I did very well.
But...if you do this, don't rely on other people, follow the stocks yourself, know when to buy and sell. I've seen these stocks rise from .25 to 10.00 a share...in a months time. But I have also seen stocks go from .25 to 1.00 and back down in every day of the week for months. These stocks you casn buy low..and sell high, but you must follow the trend, and try never to gamble.
Most people think penny stocks are a gamble....it's not...I would average 4 out of 6 winners constantly.....You only need a couple big winners out of 5 or 6 companies to strike it rich fast,I had a company called Nastech that went from .03 a share to $10.00 a share, people made millions on it !! Any way.....I'd stick to new Medical Stocks,Oil stocks,and High Tech Stocks....
Hope that helps..Thanks Mr Money Maker

If you almost tripled your money with PPC in last few months I suggest you to continue in that way. Raise it to the next level with outsourcing. Not solely because of direct profit, but because of gaining additional experience, knowledge and ideas which will help you in projects to come. Just play smart and keep everything under control.
If you`re willing to make additional stream of income I would rather consider idea of investing in housing than stocks. Anyway, do prompt research and invest in consultants before any important decision first.

Stock market investing is tough. If you are doing bigger stocks, remember that a vast majority of trading volume is done by huge pension funds, mutual funds, fund managers, advisors, insurance cos, etc so it will be very hard to outsmart these people who have done this for years.

Penny stocks can be done as stated above but it is a very volatile industry. I would suggest sticking a portion of your income into a fund and then invest a good portion of the remainder into your internet business!

I have had some great stock experiences over the last 16 years. More then knowledge, more then education, and more then skill, there is one thing that beats everything else.

It's not WHAT YOU KNOW, it's WHO YOU KNOW. It's far better to be lucky then smart.
The stock market is a crap shoot, unless you know the players and have a relationship with them.

I will make 20 times my investment on several stocks in a 2 month period.
My advice would be to find a great product in development, establish a relationship with the owners and then buy or earn seed stock in the company.

I know it's not easy. If it was, we would all be stock millionares. One thing for sure, don't invest more then you can afford to lose.
