When you buy stocks of a given listed company, what you are doing is buying a portion of that company. In buying, you are expecting that a company is going to do well in the newer future. For instance if you buy a $50 dollar stock, you will want to be able to sell it off at say, $60 in two months. That's one way of profiting from stock trading. Not just in divends, but I'm buying and selling as well.

How to make money ? That is the question with ask ourselves a lot. We ask it probably everytime we bought or want to buy something, right ? We search for the answers on the internet, we ask our parents, our teachers and bussinesmen that live around. They advice you to sell stuff that you do not need, to find a job or buy stocks. When is the last time you sold something ? We are addicted to keep stuff we do not need. We keep it with hope that it will be used again. So they take space in our apartments, closets and everywhere around. Finding a job is not a bad idea at all but it takes your free time and takes long term to make at least some money. For most of the young people that are impatient this is not a solution. We want money and we want it now! Everyone heard about The Great Gatsby or Wolf Of The Wall Street. Yeah that is the life we want to live! Be rich without doing almost anything, invest your money and wait for it grows. Then spend it and invest again and again. Buying a stock would be the answers but how many of us know how to buy one or take care of one? We study with hope that once we will find job like this, we hope that they are going to teach us how to invest, and take care of your money. But they do not and that is the sad look of school system.
