i do agree that only for a quick building up. WEll actually let me tell u my reasoning. I have just started in investments and even though im interested a lot in long terms techniques such as value of warren buffett. however the amount of money im investing is not worth the long term effort. my initial goal is to start building a capital and then out of that capital to go for a longer run. i plan to trade short terms to make quick bucks. chahine :evil:
That is a very good thought you have: to take a small amount of capital and turn it into a lot of capital. Good luck to you.
i actually have a problem with that do any of u have strategies or techniques that could decrease my amount of loss or increase my statistical percentage of making money on stocks. I know that it can never be 100% :( but still a strategie to help put the odds on 1's side :lol: thnx :!: chahine
If you had some capital now, I would suggest arbitrage. Especially if you're good with math. With the number of takeovers that go one these days you could make money on the announcements most of the time. However, if you lose your per centage is blown.
don't forget to account for broker, transaction fees.. if you are doing trading, it might be worth putting your money into a tax defferred investment plan. that way you won't have to pay capital gains taxes on any money you might make on your trading.
hey alfred can u tell me more about it message me at chahinemm i need to find out more about it. thnx chahine
hathor what do u mean by tax defered investments. first time im hearing it. 8O :!: Chahine

Im still starting so i have very little capital now. Chahine
That's the whole trouble. Generally arbitrage is best suited for decent amounts of capital. To take a small amount of money and turn it into more, you are going to need to make some decent returns right away. That's why you want to stick to the "well-lit roads" of investing and don't be pulled into the "dark alleys". You can easily double your money if you buy the right stock.
