Where to Begin investing in stocks?
The ONLY way to begin investing in stocks is with a “paper portfolio.” You get a notebook and write the transactions you would make with real money in the notebook–yes, you can use Excel for this if you’d like. Track your paper portfolio like you would a real one. Whether you’re trading mutual funds or individual stocks doesn’t matter here–a paper portfolio will give you the opportunity to see how your money would have performed without actually risking any of it.
