How do investments

bump? sorry if these are dumb questions, I don't know if they are or not

I just opened an account with fidelity cause that's where my 401k is through

>>1055895
Is fidelity a good company for trading?

Like in my head; is there anything like - Make account - put money in - buy/sell wisely (like on my own time at my comp - $$$$? Is it ever that simple?

With your investigations and information search skills, I wouldn't bother. You'll just lose money.

I mean I would look it up more negro, but I thought being a business board someone might have better advice

Simply find some ethereum and buy it. Not rocket science friendo

>>1055811
If you're under 30, invest in high-risk mutual funds.

Right now, I would look specifically at funds that track commodities and precious metals. Commodities are dropping and can only go up over the next 5 years.

Balance that out with some international equity funds, target markets of Asia and the Middle East.

Do not invest in any index funds right now.

>>1055811
Do not try and be a 'day trader', just go to fidelity, USAA, principial, etc and look at their investment products. Like mutual funds etc.

>don't invest in the index

t. Poor idiot

Buy ethereum

Why no investing to index funds? Define right now for me. Do you have insight on index funds on long run, or just that their value will drop for some months and then I can invest in them again?

>>1056394
Your investment will immediately lose value in the next 8 months. I've already migrated all of my index fund investments to commodities and equity funds.

Because the indices are all entering a bear market due to oil prices plummeting and Chinese market growth slowing. So yes, invest in an index fund in maybe 2017 q2 or q3.

Charles Schwab would be similar to using fidelity or etc ye?

How do people as retarded as you even get the money to invest? Or are you planning on striking it big with $300?

Is Plus500 rated well?

I trade through my friend who runs a hedge fund

He's a fucking guru ex iBanker and smart as fuck. I'm a personal friend so he doesn't take much commission from me. He can often double or triple my money in a month. He does futures and options. FX and stock indices. Keeps staff costs low as he doesn't need many analysts just a few other traders.

tl;dr - get in with someone smarter than you who knows what the fuck they are doing

>>1056435
>he can double your money

So hes the greatest trader to ever live then? Why isn't he a trillionaire right now?

>>1056439
Hes 29 and worth about 10 mil GBP

Started with nothing (worked in fast food)

Because he loses money some weeks

Before the fed rate rise in December I tripled my money in 2 weeks

>>1056428
Well I mean, I found I had an account with 400$ in it. Not tryna make a lot of money off it obviously retard, but I figured why let it sit there. I'm no business major or have any prior knowledge of stuff like this. But it's nice to know niggershits like you can't conceive of a person who might want to learn about something with no prior knowledge.

Any other questions Tyrone?

>>1056435
>double or triple money in a month

at a rate of doubling money every month (not even tripling), starting with 1 dollar, if he were to keep that up for just say 4 years he'd already be a billionaire

lmao

Jamal, that's not what he's saying. You don't understand the concept of investing.

Starting out (assuming you're not a trust fund baby) your income from working is all you have. In order to turn that income into enough to grow, you need 10K+. 2K at a bare minimum to even get started in any meaningful way. NEET's on this board dream and project all day like this guy >>1056435 but that's not reality.

In other words, for your money to work for you it requires that you actually have some. You've got a one week min wage paycheck and you're asking about investing. Full retard basically. Which is why he's calling you one.

Put it into a high interest online savings account and wait until you have enough to start a legitimate investment portfolio.

>You don't understand the concept of investing.
Yes. I never done it before. Purpose of this thread. Thank you for elaborating though.

>>1056944
I hear yah. I know whenever I don't understand something very important in life - my first stop is 4chan too.

I'd recommend Barclays for that online savings account btw if you're in the states. No minimums or fees. Stable rate.

>>1056944
>I feel like its something I could get alright at doing, and I'd like to make some money on the side

>Can't even google
>Has under $500
>I """""feel"""""" as though I can make money investing even thouh i have no idea what any of it is about

Seriously what kind of answer did you expect?

I really hope you're a teenager because if you're not then you are mentally retarded.
