OFFICIAL STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY THREAD VOL. A NEW CHAPTER

I never really looked into airline stocks. Why are airlines' P/E so low? UAL & AAL are at 2, the other major ones are around 6-12.
 
I just created an E-Trade account.

Considering buying 10 shares of Facebook stock at around 114 and letting it sit for a few years.

Good move?

A good move would be to put that money into an index fund tbh. Or at the very least a blue chip that pays out dividends
 
Look at market conditions, sentiments, try to gauge what industries have the best outlooks for the next few years. FB is in a growing industry and they're one of the leaders, but if there's a recession, they're at major risk due to their business model. Advertisers stop buying ad space, what happens then?

Index fund or ETFs are always good to start if you're beginning. I'm personally still bullish on A&D industry for the next 4 years w/ the presidential candidates we've got.

Just looked up polls and it looks like they're staying. Haven't been following the news. What type of impact would we expect?
 
So I deposited 1300 dollars into an Etrade account, and it is available for trading. 

I initially was going to buy 10 shares of Facebook stock and let it sit, but you guys say that might not be my best move. 

Any advice for an ABSOLUTE beginner? 

I am not necessarily trying to get rich. I am just looking to make some small moves and earn some extra income on the side. If I made 50 dollars a week I would be happy. 

I have looked at page 1 of this thread and done some research on the internet... but I am still not sure where to get started. There is so much information and seeming so many different things you can do. 

I am going to just let my money sit until... I don't know? Any insight or advice would be appreciated. 
 
A. Dont rely on your holdings for income. Dividends arent promised in the future, and can vanish if cash flow is squeezed, among other things.
B. $50 a week is asking for too much, and the values will not grow consistently.
C. Look into ETF's until you're comfortable in deciding to take on more risk.
D. Comissions can destroy gains, so dont trade too often just starting out.

$50/week on $1300?

Nah bruh. That ends up being +200% of your initial investment after a year. We'd all be rich if it were that easy.
