Submitted by Van Beek on October 24, 2009 - 09:35
If I just would have know 15 years ago what I know now about how to invest in the stock market. But we cannot turn back time. And it is never too late. The last 7 years have been very, very good. In this blog I am sharing my experiences on how I invest in the stock market and how also you can make money in this way.
It is simple, pretty save and straight forward. And it is not time consuming. You keep all control and visibility over your money and investments. I just share my experiences.
Having no time to do the ground work
Over the years I have learned how to invest in the stock market and make money, without that it takes me a lot of time every month. I just do not have that time. Or let say, I want to spend my time on other things. My work. My family.
I do not want to spend every month hours and hours anymore to research the financial reports of all those great companies to see if they are really so great. Initially I invested in individual stocks. But that takes a lot of time. Too much time.
And it is impossible to be always right when picking individual stocks. To mitigate that fact, one can research, choose and invest in a large number of different stocks. But that just takes even more time that I do not have.
Selecting funds in stead of picking stocks
Therefore, I invest now mainly in mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s). However, there are many funds that do not perform well at all. I have had my own experiences with this. But now I know how to pick the funds I can rely on.
Selecting the right funds is less time consuming than trying to pick the right stocks. And funds take care of the diversification for you. But you will also need to know when to buy and when to sell these funds.
In this blog, on this website and in my regular newsletter, I will share the lessons I have learned on how to invest in the stock market. How to make money by knowing when to buy and when to sell which funds, without that it takes you a lot of time.
