The Stock Market - Educated Gamble Or Investment?

Mad Money Stock Picks DISCLAIMER / WARNING: Use this information at your own risk. The writer is not responsible in any manner for any loss readers may have in the market.

Summary

I have been trading and investing in stocks on and off for 42 years. I started trading when I was 21 using a broker because back then you had to use a broker. I never made a lot of money using a broker due to the high commissions rates charged by brokers back in those days. I am just an average Joe trying to make a living and my education and job became my main focus. I did not have the time or money to spend paying attention to the stock market. I invested in some mutual funds. They did ok, better than a bank, but the returns were not what I expected. I never made or lost a lot of money investing in mutual funds. Many mutual funds can be good investments over the long term if you have 20 or 30 years to wait.

In 1996 I found out that you could trade on line and since I had my own business now I could pay attention to the stock market sitting right in my office. I had some money saved by this time and it was just sitting in the bank. I started on line trading in 1996 and by 1999 I made more money trading stocks than what I did in my occupation. This was the Tech. bull market or Internet bull during these years. I made so much money it was incredible. If I told you I sometimes made $20, 000 in a month you would not believe it. I increased my net worth by over 100% in two years. I was sold on using on line trading.

I also know many people who have lost a lot of money in the stock market including my own Mother when she used a broker. These people have sworn off the stock market as an evil system that just steals your money. I contend they have not spent the necessary time doing the required research. People who owned AIG, GM, and other so called blue chip companies lost their butt. I believe no investment is 100% safe. To make money it is necessary to take an educated risk. If you have money in the market then you need to watch it every day. If you do not one day you will wake up and your money will greatly depleted.

Yes, I have also lost money in the market. It is impossible to pick only stocks that go up all the time. Due to my diligent study of the stock market I have managed to make more than I have lost. It is equally important to know when to get out of a stock as well as what price to buy at. Take Citigroup Bank or C for example, three years ago it was at $45 per share and today it is $4.00. I too have sat mesmerized watching the market and my stock go down and down without making a move. All the time thinking this will stop going down soon. By the time you realize it will not stop going down it is too late to pull the plug and you have a huge loss. An on line trade only costs $8.00 to $10.00 so why wait and loose more money, sell that dog. You can sell and buy it back if the stock is any good. Looking again at Citigroup is it a buy now? Will it stay flat another 2 years? Would you buy it now?

Sometimes you get lucky and hit a big mover because you are watching the stock market. One such case was DNDN or Dendreon Corporation, a drug stock I purchased at around $6.00 and in 3 days I made $30, 000. I purchased this on the news of a new drug waiting approval. The down side according to the chart was $2.00 per share if the drug was not approved. If approved I guessed the upside target price to be about $12 per share I thought this was a somewhat safe bet. It was approved and the stock shot up to $20 so I sold it. DNDN has since gone to $40.00 per share. If you do not believe it go to www.bigcharts.com and look at a 3 year chart. One can see what happen to DNDN in April of 2009 and where it is now. How else can you make that much cash in a few days? This was an educated gamble.
