So like, let's just say that Apple shares/stocks are $100. If I buy a share, and then Apple's profits are doing well, will I earn money?

And then will I earn money if I then sell that stock? Or if the stock prices go up?

Is it this simple guys? :ohhh:

Because I've been paying attention to the video game industry and its market trends over the past 3-4 years - I've spent more time looking at sales and companies than I've had actually playing games themselves, so I'm quite knowledgeable about that industry and could buy shares in Nintendo if the NX looks good :jawalrus:

So is it this simple guys?:leostare:

Pretty much
Buy low sell high
You earn money when u sell the stock for more than you paid for it
But there's also transaction fees to account for
Nintendo has been a sinking ship for a while they're staying afloat because of past success but aren't doing that well now

You only make money if they offer a dividend or if you sell.

BTW Nintendo Stock Price is $22,890 per share so I doubt your research of the game industry is going to have you sniffing any of their profit unless you get a mutual fund and they are one of the companies in your bundle :yeshrug:

Basically. like every fall the iPhone always sells like crazy with its new model:ehh:
The best time to buy apple stocks are in April ish-August months so then we the new iPhone kills in sales your make a decent profit cuz you know the stock price will sky rocket if the product sells well:jawalrus:
That's why with stocks you need to pay attention to what's coming out etc...:jawalrus:

Almost, but start as early as possible in your 20's. I would recommend an S&P 500 index stock (Vanguard) as it just follows the index and the index funds don't have high fees as opposed to most. Also, for selling, look at timing. Gotta hold at least a year to sell (long term capital gains) as any gains will only be taxed at 15/5 % as opposed to regular income rate. Start early and fund as much as possible. After getting your feet wet in an index fund, you can start to "play" in individual stocks and have fun. Read "Millionaire next door" and Dave Ramsey to adjust your lifestyle and when you are :flabbynsick: you will bank. The market will always pay after 10-20 years, so just be patient
