I just read in stock investment for dummies that stock investment is not good for short term.?

Sep 07, 2007 by akius d | Posted in Investing

Short Term-- Less than and year
Intermediate Term-- 2 to 5 years.

Is that true that i can't just learn the market and start making money. that I would have to invest for 5 years if i want to see safe returns.

Stock Investing For Dummies ( cd 1) part 1

Stock Investing For Dummies

Some companies have emerged stronger after the recession

22.05.12

A: Recessions, for most people, are a time to be scared, depressed or fearful. But some people, and companies, use periods of economic contraction to plan for the future when things are brighter.

There's no question that the last recession ravaged corporate profits. Many top companies saw their profitability shrivel due to weak demand, rising costs and higher finance costs.

COLUMN: What stocks are furthest from their all-time highs? COLUMN: Are stocks relatively cheap or expensive now?

Companies began to see their earnings contract in the third quarter of 2007 during the last recession. That quarter, companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 saw earnings fall 9.4% from a year earlier. But then, the real drop-off started, with earnings falling 30.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007. Earnings declined every quarter from the third quarter of 2007 through the third quarter of 2009.

The Revolution in Online Trading and Investing | Penny stocks for ...

by adminn

It’s no coincidence that between 2008 and 2010, individual investors pulled more than $400 billion out of full-service brokerage accounts and put that money to work in discount brokerage accounts instead. This new trend toward self-directed, online investing is a very different phenomenon from the day-trading mania of the late 1990s. That was a fad driven by the frenzy for tech stocks, and it ended in disaster. The tech stock speculators of that era still haven’t recovered their money. But the self-directed investors of today are a different story. They’ve made a rational decision to take charge of their own investments instead of paying a small fortune to have someone else do it for them-someone whose financial interests may not be the same as those of their clients.
