Here is some information that explains stocks somewhat and will help you a little more
 
 

A pro of buying stock would be the stock, you invest your money in, could split and grow several times in one year and that is a good thing.

A con would be the stock you invest your money in would not grow or split.  This is bad more or less a waist of money.

We think that before buying stock on the web or off the web you should check out the person you are buying stock from or the company. To make sure that it seems to be a reliable source to buy the stock from and then invest your money.

What it means when a stock splits is  that it has become worth so much money per share that it has to split down into smaller shares. In doing so  that means that you get twice or even three times the amount of money for one share. This is why most some of the people invest in stocks.
 
 

Here are some stocks that we feel are good stocks and you should invest in:

One stock that I know happens to be a decent stock to invest in is Fifth Third Stock.  The stock has stayed at no lower than $50 a share for the past five years and that is good. It has also split within this time period several times.

Another good stock is Procter and Gamble.  It is like Fifth Third and splits several times in a year. The stocks are priced very similar to Fifth third and could even be worth more a share than them.

Many people wouldn't think that McDonalds has a good stock, but in fact it actually does.  This company has a web page but it doesn't have anything listed about the stocks. You can visit it if you would like to.

Here are some stocks that we feel are not worth the time or investment:

A stock that I have found to not be a great stock to invest in is WRGrace. This stock does not increase very much and is usually at a low price per share.  This is not one of the best stocks that you can invest in.

Another not so good stock is called UFP Technologies. This stock has only been as high as $52 at the end of a year and right now it is sitting at a little over $3 a share.  This is not good, according to me, but if you are looking for a stock that doesn't have a high growth, then this is your stock.

We found one more bad stock and that is Total Rental Care HLDGS.  This stock was at  $8  dollars a share and that was not good compared to something like Fifth Third which is at $63  more a share.
 

And here are some links that will help you to make your decision better.

One link that I think will help you to  understand stocks a little better and that is http://www.nyse.com   This is a web site on the New York stock exchange and it gives you information on the stocks and tells you how you can trade your stocks on the internet and how the market actually works. I personally feel that this is a good site.

Another link that we feel will help you in your search for stocks is called http://www.nasdaq.com
This link has the basic information the the New York Stock Exchange has but it does have a little different information.
