Investing in the stock market can be risky but considering the rate of returns in savings accounts and other safer methods it appears to be the only way to generate an amount of return on your investments.
For anyone starting out the chances of instant success is not good unless you are just lucky but a little reading and practice and you will gain confidence. You will also need patience. Not everything you buy will be at it's lowest price and you may need to sit on it for a while before it goes up. This is easier said than done. On more than one occasion I have sold stocks that I though weren't going to go up only to have them skyrocket just hours after selling them.
