Hawko Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I have 1500$ literally doing nothing in my paypal. I want to try "real" trading, that is stock market investing. What is your opinions on my motive, have you guys ever tried investing in stocks, is there a better option to invest money in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knavesmith Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I thought this was going to be a thread on the TF2 stock weapons, and I was going to respond by saying that the fire axe is the worst stock weapon. Stocks can be pretty risky. I honestly wouldn't ever, but I don't know about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNSHOOMEE Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Stocks are more of a long term strategy, if you're looking to make money in the next 10+ years without doing much, then it might be a good idea. Have you heard of the S&P 500? It's an index fund that's had a steady 15% return for a while now. But if you're thinking short term, then day trading is a viable route. It's kind of like TF2 trading, "buy low sell high", although trades are usually made within the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urvianoob Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The stock market is about moving quickly and acting fast to price changes. Stocks change in a matter of seconds, and 1 slip could fail you. I'd honestly stick to tf2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you were to invest in Google in its early days, you'd have made it big. The stock market is all about researching companies well, expanding your portfolio, and not reacting to market trends. Kind of like TF2, buds dropped to 12 keys and keys raised to 17 ref because everyone was just reacting to the market. That's how markets fail.

redpoemage Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Buy big name stocks (things guaranteed not to go out of business) at or near the bottom of a recession, sell when you feel the economy has fully recovered or is expanding. A very long term strategy, but as others have said, most other stock trading is pretty risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocu.TF ♥ TWP Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You'll probably lose your money without proper knowledge and strategy. Just donate it to a charity - you'll feel better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrublordington the III Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 with your current money you'd make more money in tf2 than in stocks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
