Investing in stocks and funds is challenging, but determining a strategy before adding shares to a portfolio can result in less frustration.
There are dozens of stock trading strategies, but the two primary styles of investing are active and passive management. Here are seven ways to learn more about how to invest.
1. Investment blogs. Financial blogs are one way to keep up with the latest movements in the stock market and learn how geopolitics, earnings and economic data affect investments. Several blogs are written by investment bankers or market analysts, focusing on finance, value investing and indexing. An investing blog serves as a guide to review investment options and analyze different investing strategies.
"I think it's important to learn from your peers, to make their thoughts part of your process even if you completely disagree with them," says Michael Antonelli, managing director and market strategist at Baird, a Milwaukee-based investment bank and author of the "Bull and Baird" blog. "When you surround yourself with differing opinions, you make your content stronger."
2. Video. Many financial services firms and brokerages offer educational tools, such as videos, which explain movements in the market, how to analyze a stock's history and how to understand different types of technical analysis, such as candlestick charts for daily charting or line charts for ratio analysis.
Watching video clips can also explain the nuances about more complex trading assets like futures, options, shorting a stock or buying on margin. Investors can also learn how to buy and sell stocks through articles, videos or infographics provided by brokerage firms. – Ellen Chang
