Buy shares in the stock market to earn extra money

It definately takes time for reserach and 'watching". few years back I learned some and just chose a place I frequent all the time.. Michael's Craft store. Bought at a reasonable price I could afford.. had like 50 shares. Figured to let it sit for retirement. 3 years later, Michaels sold to someone else, and they didn't want to transfer the stocks so they cashed me out and I made my investment back plus $700. 2 years ago my BIL was mentioning they bought oil..its going up etc. So I chose Chevron and bought what I could afford...68 shares... year later I sold when I saw the price double what I paid for it and earned my investment back plus $900 and glad I did then, cause 2 months later it fell back to what i paid for it! Last October I bought 4 different ones...when the market crashed.. and cause the price was so low I could buy alot with my minimal investment amount.. now they are all triple what I paid for them so not only did I get my investment back. but have made double and in my research and watching.. see that 99% chance the stock market won't crash again for awhile anyway and in the life of the stock as far back as they have beentracking,, these stocks have not fallen to near the price i paid, so I am as sure as sure can possible be that I will at least never loose my investment amount..and 99% sure I will always have something earning in these stocks. LEarn from the pros.. I learned from my brother in the first place and from a current billionaire - what he has done, and intends to do... that is how I found out about all the stocks I just bought last year. But most deifinately... research and watch. I use Fidelity Investments and they only charge $19.95 per purchase and per sale so $40 is the total cost. I figure there might be other places a bit cheaper and Fidelity gets cheaper the more money you work with. But all have said.. look at buying something you, a common ordinary person.. use or buy alot. I am looking into buying Spam (the canned meat) at the moment!

I have some money in the stock market. It has bassically gone up and done. The fluctuations were based on the ups and downs of the market. I think stock market investing is a good thing but mutual funds are typically the thing to invest in rather than stocks because they will probably most likely retain value and stocks will not.

yes i trade shares in stock market ,but it depends on your luck and your approch how you buy a stock and sell a stock .broker and analist give advice but it is not accurate all the time.but after all i think i am a gainer in this market in last 5 years.some of the time i give advice too for my friends on my blog if you want my blog adress mail me at xxxlijames@yahoo.com.
