Is the stock market rigged?

[Von]

Maybe you wanna try mutual funds to get your hand in it.

I am a stockbroker and wealth manager.

We are in a rising market so, no one can do wrong.

Mutual Funds are a bunch of stocks put together, growth could be better than the index, risk is usually lower than index... cost of entry is low

Stocks: Maximun possible outcome, maximun risk

Index: Great if you don't wanna beat and just go with the ride, however, you will fall with the rest and usually harder or growth until you cap

Pennies: Don't get in that ****.

However, there is 10 000 mutuals funds, stocks, index funds to chose from. So which one?

It's extremely personal and emotional.... so alot of people who had a bad experience will than go to say the ''market is rigged''... hey like woman! You blame the market if you can't pull good stocks.

You'll have to do your research (collect data) and apply mathematical formulas to predict its ''outcome''... I would advertise go with stuff (sectors) you love or know.

Major financial instutions have high frequencies systems which take control of the ''echanges'' also... yes alot of investors including Warren Buffet have inside informations which they pay for the service. Thus, helping them being ''ahead''

The best thing: give yourself a budget, pick a sector based on your passions, study it, invest slowly

Ok then, so do any of you have any thoughts about the companies I have mentioned above and what their future is?

Kids don't speculate with individual stocks because we on the outside LACK all of the information that's truly needed to determine if the stock is going up, if it's overpriced right now, etc. We just do not have enough information here on the outside.

- Go to Vanguard and put a portion of your funds in an S&P Index Fund: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0040&FundIntExt=INT

- Then put another portion of your funds in a Total Bond Market Index Fund: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0084&FundIntExt=INT

- Then you can do further diversification by putting a portion of your funds in a Real Estate Fund, or a Long Term CD, etc.

- Finally, put a portion of your funds in an Emergency Checking/Savings account that's designed to cover Emergencies.

Note, do not put anything in the Index Funds that you need back out within the next 10 - 15 years. When you put those in, let them ride the roller coaster for 20 - 25 years.
