Most of the stocks that I bought were true like JNPR, C and ACLA . But the stocks that I bought wasn't right was QCOM, MSFT, BAC and CNI. One of my other strategies for buying stocks is I look at other people's stocks and see what stocks is going up and buy the same stocks that they have. I usually buy the stocks in the individual's competition, first I would click on the ranking list and then I would look at the total value of the competition and buy stocks from people that are on top of the ranking. The stocks that I got the most money from just looking at other people's ranking were JNPR. I got about almost three thousand back from that stock.
When I first started to buy stocks, I didn't know what to buy so I was searching online and finding whatever stocks is high at that time and I would just buy it. The first stock that I ever bought was QCOM, to my memory I think it was going up about 1 something. So I bought that stock, about an hour later the stock went down. After QCOM went down a lot I decided to sell it because I notice that I was losing a lot of money so therefore I just sold it. I didn't know that I"m suppose to sell the stock if it's low, until you told us that the best time to sell any stocks is when it is going up not down. Also when I was getting ready to purchase my stock, I didn't know what "sell short" and "buy to cover" was, but I already knew what buy and sell was by reading other business books and from looking at the virtual stock exchange website. Selling short is when I want to bet against a stock by selling it short, I am selling the stock first and then buying it back later. Buy to cover is when I"m buying back a stock that I've shorted. Also when I bought my first stock I found out that if I bought 100 share of it then I would own about .00002 percent of that stock. When buying stocks it is better to buy it in blocks. .
In the online stock investment game there are three different kind of market order.
