I have a few pistols that are in excellent condition and would like to maybe trade them for guns at gun shows or gun stores. How does gun trading work? How does a typical gun trading deal go down? Thanks!
when you trade your gun for a new one from a dealer, its like you giving him your gun for free. You will usually loose in a trade. Best to sell your guns first to a private individual, then take the cash and buy what you want…it takes a little more time and effort, but it is usually the only way to get a fair price for what you are selling…
I am completely new to the world of trading stocks or currency, but I want to get started. I see ads for all these different websites (ameritrade, etrade, etc.), and I was wondering, which (if any) would be the best for a beginner? I’m not looking to get rich quick, but I would like to start investing my money for the long term.
Also, which if any of these sites offers a way to trade currencies? Ideally, I would become a member of the site with the best combination of both of these (trading stocks and currency).
Thanks
There is no “best” on-line company
Mostly all brokerage firms provide their clients with on-line services, including trading platforms, latest market & financial news and research.
Customer need to select the site that is best for them. Traders have requirements in a site, while investors have other requirements.
Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade.
It seems that the most popular firms for on-line investing all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas.Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E-Trade and Thinkorswim.
Based on your question, the last thing you should be looking for is an "on-line" site,
You should first educate yourself about the securities markets and the products traded on each.
Get to learn the terminology, the rules and the various strategies.
visits to some websites like MSN Money and Yahoo Finance. (http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp http://finance.yahoo.com/ )
While at MSN following the strategy lab analysts to get a feel for what the pros are doing and why. This site has some basic information for beginners. If any site offers free information, take it. Other website that can provide instructions and help with procedures and terminology are

I’m a college student and recently I’ve been playing stock simulation games online. Hopefully I gather enough capital to trade in the real market within a few years from now. What I do on the simulation game is simply buying and selling company stocks. I noticed some people make a lot of profit from doing options trade. How does Options Trade work? How is it different from regular stock trading? Would you say it’s riskier investment method than stock?
Options are contracts that follows the price of the underlying stock but takes far lesser money to buy than the underlying stock. That is why you noticed some people make a lot of profit from doing options trade. Thats because being able to control more stocks with lesser money gives you leverage and the ability to make more money from the same move in the stock.
In short, Call options allows you to profit when the stock goes up and put options allows you to profit when the stock goes down. Both kinds of options can also be "shorted" for the reverse effect. This makes options trading extremely versatile with almost countless strategies for hedging and speculation.
The problem with options trading is that options EXPIRE. This means that after some time, if the stock did not move enough to give value to the options, the options simply evaporate and you lose the amount of money you put into it. Thats why so many people say options are risky.
Well, thats just a very very very simplistic overview of options. Options trading is way too big a subject for me to outline here and there are even seminars that teach the basics of options for over $5000! I learnt all my options trading for free at the site below, hope it helps.
So I think swing trading may be the trading strategy I want to go with when I start investing in the stock market. What are some good books I can read about swing trading to better my knowledge?
How to Make Money in Stocks by William J. O’Neil
Investment strategy, which combines technical and fundamental analysis. 248 pgs. Full description by the publisher of Daily Graphs of his famous CANSLIM stock
FROM THE PREFACE: America is the world’s leader in successful new, entrepreneurial companies. Many are in the computers, communications, and technology sectors. Others are in the medical, retail, and leisure and entertainment industries. As an investor, you should develop the skills and acquire the knowledge necessary to recognize and invest in the fast-growing, innovative companies that comprise our New America.
But how do you pick which stocks to buy and how can you significantly minimize the risk you take in buying stocks? And, most importantly when do you sell your stocks? This book will answer all of those questions for you.
How to Make Money in Stocks gives you a simple, easy-to-use system called C-A-N S-L-I-M. The method is based on an exhaustive, ongoing analysis of every big winning stock each year since 1953. Each letter in C-A-N S-L-I-M stands for one of the seven key factors that all of these past super winners had in common. So, this is not some theoretical or academic method. This is based on how the stock market actually works.
How well does the C-A-N S-L-I-M method work? It is the best method devised and available for individual investors, whether new or experienced. More than 200,000 people have attended our free investment seminars and all day paid workshops where the method is explained in detail. At each session, many people tell us how they made 50% or 100% in the previous year using the C-A-N S-L-I-M system.
David Ryan was the first to use the method in the US Investing Championship and won three years in a row. He invested his own money in an actual account that was monitored by CPAs. He averaged over 100% per year and is now the portfolio manager of the New USA Mutual Fund.
Cid Moses entered the contest in 1991 using the method and came in first with a record-setting 379%. Lee Freestone, one of our associates came in second that year with a 279% increase using C-A-N S-L-I-M. In 1994 Lee won it with a 234% increase. The Dow Jones Industrials that year increased 13.7%. There are numerous other examples, such as Dan Running of the University of Baltimore, who won the USA Today championship with a 115% increase in 1994; and Jay Plisco of Cold Spring Harbor, New York who won the 1995 Fidelity Investment Challenge by using C-A-N S-L-I-M for an impressive 135% gain.
You may want to read this book a couple of times to get it all down, but anyone can learn to invest more successfully if he or she is willing to work at it. And why shouldn’t you learn to capitalize on and benefit financially from the most successful entrepreneurial companies in America?
How to Make Money in Stocks took me many years to write, and I’ve now been in the battlefield of the financial marketplace for 40 years. So this book can and should help you avoid most of the pitfalls all investors face in this treacherous arena.
In the long run, the U.S. market always goes up because businesses create new products, new services, and new technological inventions. It is the companies with the best new products and services that serve the most people that are always the top stock market winners.
In the last 100 years, the stock market has had 25 bear market declines. These were natural corrections of the previous bull market advances. Every time the market recovered and ultimately soared back into new high ground. So don’t get sidetracked by the vast number of gloom and doomers. They rarely have made money for anyone. Besides, I don’t ever remember meeting a successful pessimist.
In the early 1960’s, William O’Neil & Co. created the first daily computer database on the stockmarket in the United States. In 1970, we created Datagraphs, institutional investors’ service. Today, more than 600 top institutional investors take a wide variety of our research services. We also publish Daily Graphs, a daily charting service provided weekly and designed for individual investors.
In 1983, I created the basic format for a new national daily business and financial newspaper, Investor’s Business Daily. Investor’s Business Daily made major advances in the quality and availability of vital, relevant information for all public investors and people and business. Sold nationally in every city the newspaper is the fastest-growing newspaper in the United States. It has steadily taken share of market away from the century-old Wall Street Journal.
For those still uncertain if C-A-N S-L-I-M really works, William O’Neal & Co. was started with profits made in Syntex stock in 1963 and Investor’s Business Daily was built and promoted with profits made in Pic N Save Price Co., and Amgen.

If you have an excellent feel for a single stock, is it possible to make a living trading that stock? Say it’s is a solid, if somewhat boring, S&P500 stock with high volume and frequently channels within a predictable range.
It is possible but remember that specialists and analysist always say that the secret of success on the stock market is to learn how to diversify. They usually say "never put all of your eggs in a single basket".
Your investment plan should contemplate also options.
…Alexander the Great, Scipio the Elder, Muhammad, and scores of other heroes/deities?
Well, friend, There is only one way to know the difference so I invite you to meet Lord Jesus. Understand your need for a Savior and pray to God and accept the atonement of Jesus Christ. Receive the Holy Spirit and be led in the truth. Then you too can KNOW. Otherwise it’s simply my word falling on your deaf ears. My Lord can heal those deaf ears and then you can hear the truth. Until you realize your handicap you wont accept the answer.
