How would you make money ?

[eppie]

That's what I was thinking about:trading a few thousands euros on the stock exchange,but without the help of banks,just via internet.
Any advice/tips to buy/sell stocks via internet?
I don't like sports car ;) they're not fit for travels;If I had to buy one,I would buy a BIG one,large enough for luggage.

Well I have an account with this bank (in Holland most banks have internet trading services).
You can put money on that account and than you can start trading, my bank has realtime stockprices so you can check it a bit, and when the time is right you make a transaction, just a few clicks, no people involved.
For me it costs 10 euro per transaction plus 0.1% of the traded amount. Which means around 1 % for 1000 euro's but if you trade 10.000 at once, the costs are around 0,1%.
Check what the bank charges for "keeping your stock" (usually a small percentage per year) and if your normal account (from which you buy stock etc.) gives you some interest, which would be nice.

In principle shares have prices, which are conform the market (of course <_< ) so you can't miss in that sense. But knowing a bit what you buy is always handy. Although you will always be too late if something major has happened, the pro's always know it earlier than you. When there is a crash the small investers will lose for sure, while some of the bigger ones can still get out on time.
See if companies pay dividend. If the company is healthy, they often pay dividend of around 5 % of the share value once a year...which is also not bad.
