2. How do I invest in foreign stocks? (online)?
I am in the UK, Scotland and was wondering how to invest in foreign stocks through the
internet, namely U.S.A, China, Singapore, Canada, India, Australia and Qatar?
Steve Winston answers:
Through any online brokerage. I trade in these countries routinely. In the US we have special
ticker symbols denoting the stock's country of origin. Consult with your broker for details but I'm
certain this is very doable, no problem.

3. How much money should a beginner start out with before
investing online?
I want to invest in stock online. How much money should I start out with? How many different
stocks should I buy? Whats the best online trader? Is day trading difficult to do? Thanks
Steve Winston answers:
Your best bet is to get some education and experience before you start putting your
hard-earned money on the line. Read a book (Investing for Dummies is a good starting point) or
take a course to learn how the markets work, how brokers work, what types of investments you
can buy etc. Find a website that will let you create a free "practice account". This is basically
"pretend" investing where you enter buy and sell transactions of real stocks but you don't
actually own them. You can see how your "investments" react over time and whether you made
or lost money and then learn from your successes and failures.
As for how many different stocks you should buy, there's no rule and it's completely up to you
but a good piece of advice is to spread your risk around so that your money is not tied up in the
fortunes of just one company. The best way to do this is with mutual funds and ETFs. Mutual
funds look like stock in that you buy shares at a particular price and then it either goes up or
down and you make or lose money based on that. The difference between mutual funds and
regular stock is that a mutual fund owns stock in many different companies, so when you buy
mutual fund shares you're actually buying shares in lots of different companies rather than just
one. ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, are the same idea except that they are usually tied to
an index or a commodity. For example, you could buy an ETF that is tied to the movement of
S&P 500 index or one that is tied to the price of oil or natural gas futures contracts.
Whatever you decide to do, don't ever invest more money than you can comfortably afford to
lose. And don't be in a rush to sink your money into something you don't really understand.
Learn as much as you can first, get some practice experience and seek out the advice of
professionals or people you trust who have some investment experience before stepping onto
the investing roller coaster. I rushed in when I had some extra cash sitting around and I
promptly turned $25,000 into about $5000 by not knowing what I was doing and making rash,
emotional decisions. I've learned a lot along the way and my investments are slowly recovering,
but I sure wish I hadn't gotten my education the hard way! Lol
