Stock market investment

[Rich_in_CT]

For those interested in the stock market I picked up a nice PDF today.  The PDF is digital version of a very highly coveted book of which there aren't many copies.  Currently they are starting at $1125.00 a copy on Amazon used so it isn't very obtainable.  Some folks I've heard from have read this in locked rooms at their college library and this is often the only way it can be read for free.  It is also among the most frequently stolen books when it does show up places.

Here's the synopsis on Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Margin-Safety-Risk-Averse-Strategies-Thoughtful/dp/0887305105

If you take advantage of this freebie and download it please pass it along to others so that they can also share in the wealth of knowledge.  I am reading it now and will give a review of it when I finish.

MAN! Only if this was a $1g book on REI! I would be really happy!

I havent looked into stock investing, but thanks for the resource...I saved it so when I do get involved in stocks I will read it.

Well if I find any good REI books I'll post them too.  If you ever build up a ton of cash from your REI that you need to stash somewhere you can always use the above to guide you.

Rich,

Is this the whole book? The copy on Amazon is 249 pages and the PDF is 152 pages. I would hate to get through it be missing the other 97 pages. I started reading it and it is pretty good so far.

Someone on Facebook Fantasy Stock Game was passing it around.

I scrolled to the end and its the conclusion so I assume so, I'm not sure why they show different numbers.  Only thing I can think of is that Amazon is the hardcover version, it's possible someone scanned the paperback version.  Based on larger or smaller page sizes the hardcover versions are often different  numbers of pages based on what will fit on a page.  This is the only thing I can think of.  Actually on second thought if someone scanned it and used an OCR software to convert to editable text (which I assumed happened based on the format of the PDF and the fact that I can highlight sections) it probably just translated out to less pages based on being standard MS Word (or comparable) pages being far larger than the page of a book.  The OCR theory actually explains why I found silly typos in the part I read so far, the rendering isn't always precise (most decent OCR software claims 99% or so accuracy).

Do you guys invest in Stocks?  Im going to invest in Real Estate, but I would like to invest in something with my spare money.  Stocks could be a option.

Do you guys invest in Stocks?

I have traded stocks and options for about 10 years.  I don't buy and hold stocks.

I trade and I hold some. Depends on the market.

Diversification across all asset classes (stocks, bonds, RE etc.) is the key to long term growth while minimizing risk.  If one market is down another is up somewhere else.  I've been trading and holding stock investments for 20+ years among other asset classes.

This is going to sound really dumb, but does everything have stocks to invest into?  Like I mean, could I buy stocks for Krogers, or K-mart.  I dont really understand how they determine how much a stock is worth and what is possible to even invest in.

I have stocks.  I have a 401k and IRA and other stocks outside of them.  This report is good,  but the Dow forever was up and down around 1000 since 1901 and shot up around 1980 and is now 13,000.  You ask why.  It is that in the 1980s companies started phasing out pensions and replacing them with 401k savings plans.  That meant that instead of large invesmnet companies buying stocks for its rich clients, all of a sudden every wage earner in the country started putting 6% of his paycheck into stocks.  This large demand for stocks drove the price of stocks up to where they are today.  The buying of stocks is automatic and had no bearing on how good a company or stock is.  Selling is based on when a particular person wants to retire which has very little effect on the system since people retire on a sparatic basis.  The only thing that effects stocks other than supply and demand is greed and fear.  When people think a stock is going to make a bunch of money greed casues them to buy it and google is driven up to $690/share.  The other is fear.  When people think a stock is going to go down they dump the stock and you end up with Countrywide that fell from 50 to 10 because of the sub prime news.  Both companies are no better or worse than when they were before the news came out.

I use stock to make sure that my money moves with the economy.  You can't get rich in stocks it is just a place to keep up with inflation.
