Question by Ben19999: How does the stock market of today resemble the stock market of the past?
The way a lot of people paint it, the stock market was just a safe, ol’ bird you could get rich on if you stuck your money in there for 40 years. I have only a 5 year history learning about and investing in stocks, but feel like its every day a roller coaster. What was it like in say the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s etc. or before if you were around then?

Know About Stock Market Trading

Stock market is an inquisitive place for many and a stock exchange is the place where stock market trading or trading of shares is carried out. This place has given birth to many billionaires and is also responsible for turning billionaires to locals. Individuals and companies purchase and sell stock on a large scale. A particular company trades only in one specific stock market and is said to be on the list of that particular stock exchange.

However, big multinational companies can be listed on many stock exchanges. This is called inter-listed shares. The financial backers and owners felt the need to raise money for investment in the new projects of the same company so they started the method of stock and shares.

When we are in a strong stock market, it seems like the stock market will not go down no matter what, you can get a great stock tip just from throwing a dart at the list of stocks in Investors Business Daily and come out with a winner. The aura of the place is such that it is swarming with people any hour of the day and any season of the year. But only few know that how the stock market trading came into existence or what actually are its origins.

Investors (who invest in stock market trading) got the monetary support, they were looking for and at the same time solved ownership issues in case the company was sold (by granting shares to the people). They sold a part to people and still retained control over the company. Thus, the owner had some portion of the assets, some power to make decision conditionally. In return, they shared a part of the profit with the stockowner as dividend.

Many stock market traders lose simply out of ignorance in stock market trading. They base their trades on news and tips from friends, and do not define specific risk and profit objectives before placing trades. Others have the merit of educating themselves but fall victims of their emotions. They hold on to losing positions hoping they will turn into winners and sell winners by fear of losing a small gain. They overtrade to fulfill a need for action or by fear of missing out.

Money Management For Stock Market Trading

By avoiding risks, money management in stock market trading is to ensure your survival that could take you out of business. Your money management rules should include maximum amount at risk for all your opened positions, different between your entry price and your initial stop loss is your risk per share. Your maximum amount at risk for each trade determines the share size. Maximum daily and weekly amount lost before you stop trading, avoid trying to trade your way out of a hole after a loosing streaks.

Learning about stock market trading is not difficult, but it does take time. Take the time to learn about stock market from books that will get you going in the right direction. Read them, study the market, practice trading on paper. Take the time to learn to invest, you will not regret it. The stock market is not going anywhere, its been here for a long time, and will continue to be here for a long time to come.

Question by Elvis: Can adding “toluene” to regular unleaded pump gas be safe for a stock engine?
… I was curious about maybe creating a little extra boost for a stock engine. I read that adding a gallon of toluene to the fuel can boost the power a good bit. (I do have the actual formulas for figuring correct octane mixtures)

… Is it safe from time to time to do this to a stock 350 chevy engine with swirl port heads?

… I have a set of 300 horse heads that I eventually plan to use when I do a rebuild but for now they are stock heads and a stock engine.

… Also what would be the most octane that I would want to run in a stock 350?

… Would I need to advance or retard the timing any and how much?

… I eventually want build a stoker 383 and put in my 63 truck and am willing to try it but just want to know what to expect. I asked here because I know in the Nascar section there is some people that are well qualified to answer this question?

Merry Christmas
Bow-Leg Im a Chevy person but I would like to have one of those 427 Cammers that Ford put out in late 1964. Had a six foot timing chain. If I had one of those I’d have to get a 65 Fastback Mustang to put it in.

Best answer:

Answer by Bill
Tina I know the higher the octane, the better your fuel mileage
and I think Sunoco used to have a pump where you could dial in up to maybe 110 octane I don`t think high octane fuel hurts the engine as bad as low octane.
Maybe you will get a satisfactory answer on here Good Luck.

Is Playing The Stock Market The Same As Gambling?

Is the stock market gambling? That is a question that gets asked from time to time and when you buy a stock and it immediately goes down it sure seems like gambling. When you buy stocks, you can lose all your money. So, what then, is the difference between gambling and the stock market. Are the two really that much different?

Sometimes it may seem that you can lose just as easily at the stock market as you can at the blackjack table. Ask anyone who has lost money in Enron how they felt after their stock went to zero. You can lose big on a stock but rarely do companies go bankrupt and the stock go to zero. In blackjack or craps, however, losing all you have is quite common.

The difference between pure gambling and buying stocks of companies is that you are betting on the future of the company and you have a track record you can research. If you are invested in many stocks, you might say that you are invested in the future of the country. If something terrible happens to the country, like a natural disaster or a terrorist attack, stocks will go down. If the country flourishes and good times prevail, the stock market will most likely go up. By investing in the stock market you might say that you are betting on our future.

Gambling in a casino is a whole different scenario. There is no casino game that the player has an edge. Just take a look at how big Las Vegas has become to be sure that the house always has the advantage. You might be able to beat the house now and again but over the long run you will lose. When you are gambling in Las Vegas, you better be using money you don’t need and are prepared to lose.

The key to investing in the stock market is doing research. If you were to just take a list of stocks and throw darts at them, it would be more similar to gambling. However, the more you learn about how companies are valued and operate, the more ammunition you will have when picking stocks.

When you buy a stock and it immediately goes down, it might sometimes feel like you are gambling but that is mostly out of frustration. If you do your homework and pick your stocks carefully, you should be able to make money long term in the stock market. One thing is for sure: the stock market is a much better place to be “betting” your money than the casinos.
