Would you like your own crystal ball to see how the market is heading in any particular stock? Just imagine being able to know when to buy and when to sell. Your Share Portfolio would be something to behold. In the real world this only comes with years of experience often through bitter lesions and much studying. Things like understanding what The Bull & The bear Market mean; how does The Trend influence your decisions; and has the price "bottomed" or is about to " go over the top". We will look at these terms in a moment but there are ways to use the experience of others so don't be discouraged. The "Bull market" and a "Bear market." These two terms refer to market trends. A Bull market means that the market is headed up and it's time to make money. A Bear market means that stocks are headed down and it's time to be careful. But where do these terms come from? That is a question that is harder to answer than you think. There doesn't seem to be any consensus of the origins of these terms, but there are some solid leads. Some link the origin of Bear and Bull to a book written in the 1700's called Every Man His Own Broker by Thomas Mortimer. The book describes the tendencies of some investors and links them to bears and bulls. The bull, as described in the book, was someone who might purchase huge amounts of stock with little or no money at all and hope to sell the stock for a profit before the time to pay for it came due. A bear, on the other hand, sold stock or property that he didn't even own yet, and then would be forced to scramble to find a way to obtain the goods before he was due to deliver it. There are some interpretations of the phrases which are much more logical. When a bull attacks, he will use his horns and swipe up to cause damage, while a bear will attack you with his paws and swipe downward. Another way to view the price of shares is to look at the Forex Market. If you want to learn forex there are lots of ways to do this. The first step to learn forex is do some basic reading on how the foreign exchange market works. The foreign exchange Wikipedia article is good basic reading, and there are plenty of Web sites that offer overviews to help you learn the fundamentals. Plenty of books have been written on the topic, some of which will help you and some of which just want your money. Try the public library first: Books are free, and if they're in the library, they were probably published by legitimate publishing houses with legitimate editors and researchers. You have a number of options, all of which will help in different ways. You can make your choice depending on what your own way of learning. Whether you're a visual learner or prefer written instruction finding someone that has been sucessful in Market Trading is the best option. There are many hundreds of "Trading Programs" out there but how to find the one suitable for you? If you choose a program that uses a 'System' to do all the Hard Work in finding the best buying and selling prices then it's just a matter which one to go with.
