Investing for Dummies

[seesquared]

I get a discount on my company stock that also pays a dividend. I just reinvest the dividend and try to forget it's there and let it grow(even if it is slow)

I finally have enough capital to do some proper investing in stocks. I actually took a year to learn the forex market as well. It is and cannot stress enough a VERY VOLATILE market but if you are patient enough to wait on some moves, you can make some decent money, sometimes in a short amount of time. It is very easy to get over leveraged though and I see a lot of people blow accounts.

I found a few threads through the years that former brokers contribute to and their style of trading stocks and forex is so simple it's crazy. But if you look at the markets, it works.

My thing is making money from more than one source of income. I make a very nice wage from my everyday job, plus a little money from stocks, a little from forex, and I also flip cars on the side here locally. It adds up throughout the year. I don't have any financial worries

Of course the biggest thing of all is the overhead. I have my rent, phone, car insurance, and electric/internet/water bills. That's it.
