Any type of investing can be confusing, frightening and even financially crippling if you don’t know what decisions to make. The Internet has simplified things considerably however and now just about anyone can get involved in the various forms of investing that range from opening up a basic savings account to putting their money into the stock market or even markets like Forex. Online investing can be quite lucrative, even for beginners, but there are still many dangers out there.
One serious mistake that many people make the first (few) times they invest online is that they believe online investing is easier. While it is true that you have the stock market at your fingertips, an ever ready resource and font of information, you have to still be careful to do all your homework. Whether you are looking for a good broker or trying to invest from your own research, take the time to get all the information available on either the broker or the investment you are considering.
Next, after doing all your research, you will need to open an Online Investment Account. There is a lot of information to consider before you open an account but here are a few things you must know.
? Pick the correct account. Personal accounts that are non-retirement accounts include individual, joint and custodial. Retirement accounts include IRAs, traditional, Rollover, and even Roth. Think about the tax advantages of one over the others before you decide.
? Do you want a margin account or a cash account? Margin accounts let you invest with money that isn’t yours but if your investment crashes you are responsible for the loses. Personal accounts allow you to invest up to the amount in your investment account.
? Let your broker know how much experience you have. This will help to determine if you are looking for Aggressive Growth, Growth, Income or Capital Preservation types of investment.
And finally, to stress the importance of information: Study, study and more study. Take the time to study your initial investments, learn as much about the companies (before you invest), and keep accurate records. Online investing has a significant learning curve, especially for someone who has never invested before. Learning from the ground up however will make it less likely that you will make a mistake and lose all of your hard earned and much needed cash.
