The 2009 Question: Are you Investing or Trading?

American households (50%) have stock in one account or another 401k,Ira, or in a standard secuity accounts. It’s my guess most individuals don’t really have a clue of what owning a share in a stock is or what to do with it once they make their purchase of a safe secure share of a bedrock company like say General Motors Hmmmm???. They own it because someone told them a hand full of years (or more) that investing in stock was the financialy responsible thing to do for long term gowth toward financial security.

In financial markets, You can either be a stock investor or a stock trader. Additionaly the there are many types of stock to own and keep or trade. This blogs intention is to speak simply and with common purpose. To help advise the early entry trader wtih my 3 “W”, What, Where, and When to buy or sell stock and be out of it before you think you can spell “Dividend”. Not that dividends arent any good to have , but try to find them any time soon. Their being cut by board rooms as quick as you can spell OBAMA and that’s not hard. Even I got it right the first first time I heard his name (3 vowles and 2 consinants) that’s easy enough I said to myself.
