[D668]Drawing Faces For Beginners

by Mark Crisp, Mar

To the outsider the stock market appears to be a world of easy money and get rich quick schemes. Perhaps you have heard about those days where people who own stocks making a fair amount of money in one day when the stocks raise 5 points. Then you find yourself thinking. If only I had gotten into the game yesterday, or last week, then I would have made enough money to take that trip. But that's just the point the stock market is a world where you can make a lot of money, but it's all about the ‘ifs'.

Even the experienced investor has the ‘what if' conversations with themselves. So you are not alone. But the difference between an experienced investor and a wannabe what is the knowledge that it's not fast and it's not easy!

Making money on the stock market requires experience, practice, patience, education and skills. You need to start with some basic research and the more time you put in to it, the more you will know and the more you will make. You need to learn the basics to get to that point. You can't start with large investments, because everybody makes mistakes and you don't want to start making mistakes with a lot of money.

If you do however take the time to learn the basics you will slowly build up your knowledge. This knowledge will be built up from mistakes and successes, so if you take your time you won't be out too much.

The very first place to start is choosing how you are going to trade. Once you have decided if you are going to day trade, swing trade or buy and hold, you will know which areas you need to research in.

So which area are you interested in? Well it's probably best to know what the areas are first…

Day trading: day trading involves buying large amounts of stock and waiting for a raise and selling. Day traders do not keep their stock overnight.

Swing trading: Swing trading involving buying stock and waiting for the price to move. Swing traders don't hold on to their stock for long, but generally keep it for longer than day traders.

Scalping: Much like the idea of ticket scalping, stock scalping involving a large quantity of stocks and selling once the price has moved a little bit.

Buy and Hold Trading: Buy and Hold Trading involves buying well-priced stock with the intention of holding on to it for a long time. Over time this stock will slowly raise in value. Buy and hold traders buy stock in companies that they believe will grow overtime. Such as those that invested in computers early on.

The next step is learning about analysis.

Fundamental analysis: relies on the same principles that supply and demand theory does. Fundamental analysis involves reading financial reports of the companies you invest in and it may take a while to learn the lingo.

Technical analysis: Technical analysis involves watching time and price. It involves looking at certain charts and if you are an expert seeing these charts will give you an insight into how the company will move over time.

Your next point of call is to devise your plan. There are many articles about planning on various websites. You need to have a plan to ensure that you don't step out of your own boundaries.

Make sure that you are well researched before you start playing around with real money. Never spend what you don't have. Expect mistakes and learn from them. If you take your time, you will acquire the skills, patience and practice you will need to achieve success.

Deciding on the type of garden you wish to grow will depend on a number of factors. You will need to take all sorts of issues in to consideration when deciding on the nature of your garden. For instance, how much room do you have to create your garden? If you live in a house with a large yard and plenty of room to devote to your plants, the type of garden you grow will be very different from the garden of someone who lives in an apartment with only a window box or small balcony for their plants.

What zone do you live in? Throughout America, there are different temperate zones which will give you a guide to the type of plants that will do well in various areas. Study your zone and select plants for your area.

How much time do you have to plant the garden and devote to it? If you are planning a garden for long enjoyment and to watch grow over the years, you have plenty of time. But perhaps you are getting your house ready to sell and want to plant a new garden to enhance your chances of a good sale. If so you don't have a lot of time. Also you may only be able to devote a small amount of time to your garden once it is planted. If so you need to investigate planning and planting a low maintenance garden, rather than one that needs constant care.

What about the soil in your garden? Is it full of clay or lime or sand? Is it rich in nutrients for your plants? Will you need to attend to the soil first before you start planting? Investigate your soil type and see what varieties of plants grow best in that soil.

Do you live in a drought-stricken area or is there plenty of rain about? Knowing your area's water restrictions will also help in the planning of your garden and how to maintain it.

What types of plants are you interested in growing? Perhaps you want a native garden, showing off only plants natural to your area. Or maybe you want a cottage garden or a rose garden. Perhaps you want a more practical garden, one that grows herbs and vegetables. Deciding on the type of plants you want is exciting. Planning your garden well will lead to results that you want, whether it is a riot of color or gentle greens all year round.

All these points must be taken into consideration when deciding on the type of garden you want. If you are thorough with your investigation of your soil and planning of your garden layout, you will enjoy the end result much more than if you just throw any old seeds in to the dirt and hope for the best.
