Is there anyone among us, who doesn’t wish to make money when they invest? it’s doubtful that there is however many people are fearful of the stock market, and this might simply be based on your own investing thinking. While I can’t answer that specific question, I can advise that you make certain crucial decisions before making your first investment, since no one should invest with scared money. I’m very enthusiastic about what will happen in the coming fiscal quarter, however everyone should first take stock of their own financial health and requirements.

When we begin thinking about investing, we need to first look at our own financial situation to determine what amount we can safely invest each month. It’s always wise (that should read crucial) to invest with your surplus, and not your rent (by rent we mean any monthly expense you know will be spent).

If you’ve made the decision to invest, but are wondering where you will find the necessary money, save something from every paycheck. Tell yourself that this is money you’ll use for investments. While the particular percentage you put aside will be based on your needs and temperament, experts suggest 10% for emergencies, and an additional 10% for investments.

Depending upon whether or not, you have children, or a spouse, always consider the needs of your family before making an investment. While we strongly suggest investing, we do not want you to put your family in jeopardy, because no matter the best intentions, sometimes things do go wrong. Be certain that your needs, and the needs of your family, including insurance, shelter, utilities, and debts are paid, then consider your investments.

We are each individual’s, and deal with life in different ways, many of us enjoy the riskier investments, while others take a more conservative route. Take the time to determine what type of investor you are, then slowly but surely expand your investment horizons. While we recommend penny stocks as an excellent part of your portfolio, they are certainly not for everyone, and that is a decision you’ll need to make personally.

In real estate it’s location, location, location, on Wall Street its diversify, diversify, diversify. While I believe strongly in penny stocks, I never put all of my eggs in one basket, since there are new penny stocks to invest in almost everyday.

Always take the time to either research before you invest, or be involved with a quality expert or a newsletter that knows your niche. Often times you’ll find the best investments are those that run contrary to what your financial advisor, (usually very conservative) may advise. Just like investors, there are conservative and risky financial advisors. Take anything that is said as advice, not fact then research on your own. There is no such thing as a Wall Street crystal ball, but there are ways to obtain good information.

Never chase a losing stock, this is most often throwing good money after bad, it is much better to take your losses, learn from your mistakes, and live to invest another day. While we have seen many penny stocks rise as much as 25% in a single day, many continuing to increase 100, 200, even 500% in a week, this is not always the case. When you’re on board with a winner, take your profits, reinvest and celebrate your success.
