  1. Let's say I buy about $600 of shares of a company at about $5.70 a share because I think in about 5 years or less it might go up to about $60 a share, but it ends up losing business causing the share price to go down to less than a dollar. Then it eventually goes out of business, I lose my initial $600?
  2. okay, so if i want to start investing, i can start out with big companies like coke, nike, McDonald's, apple ect. however, if i want to start trading, are those good companies to trade or do i have to find less popular ? im a new subscriber by the way. i like your content. furthermore, i want to trade in the foreseeable future but i want to get the hang of it by watching your videos and read books about trading.
  3. Very interesting videos..now, question, for investing in Stocks, what kind of stocks are best?, I know you are focusing on trading, but would really appreciate your thoughts /comments :) thank you.
  4. Thank you for all of the videos, they're short, sweet and to the point. You sharing all of your knowledge is increasing my success.
  5. hey clay I'm commenting on your video where u are wrong,if u think Im in error
    show me where,no need to get bitchy.
  6. if you did not check GM you would have lost your shirt.tell the truth stocks are a GAMBLE.
  7. can you invest and trade??
  8. Clay I'm trying to find a resource that discusses what is the difference between stocks, penny stocks, options, etfs. Basically I don't understand are they all "stocks" like could Apple for example be every single one of those things? I don't understand how they fit together. Also if you had like a scottrade account do you have to select a "penny stock" tab on order to trade that verses a "stock" tab? I'm not sure if that makes sense but hopefully you understand what I'm asking
  9. What is one of the online brokers that you recommend to use it? Such as AmeriTrade, is it a good website to use?
  10. Do you have any suggestions on Youtubers who focus on Investing?
  11. Nice one ClayTrader πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏ #success100
  12. A trader buys shares for the purpose of selling them for more, an investor buys shares because he wants to be a part of a company, and profit from its succes and growth in value.
  13. Very informative! Thank you
  14. Where can i buy these T-shirts ? cant find on website
  15. Hey, thanks a lot for this video; I learned a lot. Can you d a video explaining how to get your money out.Say, I invested in Coca-cola 2 years ago, and I all of a sudden I have an emergency and need the money. Do I just go to the bank and withdraw it, and what if I opened a traders account online and there is no physical branch? Do you get that money by selling it or can you just withdraw it? Is selling and withdrawing the same in stock language?
  16. Great Video, Clay. I'm sure this will be helpful for folks who want to know the difference between Trading Vs Investing. It all really drills down to the " time " as you mentioned in the video. If you are a trader & bought something for the purpose of trading, cut your losses as quick as you can when things don't go as planned & If you are an investor " you don't care " about what happens in short term because you are in for a long haul. Have a good weekend.
  17. Great video. I have been swing trading for the past year and a half or so. I have really only done one day trade. Last year I bought AMBA who make computer chips for GOPRO. GoPro had a bad earnings report and AMBA dropped very quickly. I saw an opportunity in the pre-market trading and bought in. Went for a run and when I came back AMBA bounced back so I took a profit right away when the regular market opened.

    The conundrum I have is that I don't completely understand what a "free ride" is. From what I do understand you must have cleared funds in your account before you can sell a stock. Luckily that day I had cleared funds. Let's say I sell a stock and then use the funds to buy another stock-before I can sell the new stock I just bought the sell from the other stock must clear first. Is this correct? Is there any way around this? I don't want to miss opportunities to sell if I can make a quick buck. Thanks for your videos.
  18. Hi there, really appreciate your work! :)
    I'm brand new to the stock markets and such, and i want to know what my initial capital ca. has to in order for it to be time-efficient to start trading, rather than taking a regular job.
    I am studying right now which makes me about 150$ a month (God bless Denmark), but it wouldn't be efficient time-wise to start trading with that right? Other than of course the expertise i can get from it.
