I want to invest $400k in profit-yielding dividend shares but am not sure which to buy into because dividend-paying stocks don't give rapid price growth and can provide a steady income stream.

Investing in stocks may appear simple, but selecting the appropriate stock without a proven strategy can be tough. I've been trying to develop my $210, 000 portfolio for a while, but the biggest hurdle is a lack of a clear entrance and exit strategy. Any feedback on this topic would be greatly welcomed.

I'm a 42-year-old QA Specialist at Confluera, with an annual income of $150, 000. Although I do have a retirement account, I'm keen on exploring short-term investment opportunities as I prepare to shift to part-time work in the near future. What would be the most suitable strategy to achieve my goals?

Great video, I have a quick question. I am an aspiring trader, I am looking study some traders and earn off their expertise rather than investing myself and lose money emotionally. Whats your take on copy trading? Do people really make money? Just looking for some reassurance.

American companies are expected to increase profit every quarter. How do you think that works out for American consumers? Charge us more pay us less... Fast food workers get 15-18 an hour but aren't allowed to work more than 25-30 hrs a week.

Bots ahoy! Economy is not in recession and Fed will begin rate cuts in September. Bargains out there for smart investors just a matter of when to buy. Hype and fear mongering money making headlines be damned.

Crazy. Everyone gets up and goes to work. Make products, earn money, fine. Next day, phones tell them to panic, and they panic, when they simycould go to work and make products.

Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy!!

[jayvincent]

The only reason for the stance ( we can use our own oil ) is higher profits for US petroleum companies. The reason no administration has done this is because it's better to pay more for oil than to deplete our own supply.. If we deplete our resources then we'll be at the mercy of our supplier. Duh...
