How to be a Stock Market Player

* Chances are your grandfather didn't invest in the stock market
_A MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING FOR THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURE_:
SOME PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU THE STOCK MARKET IS TOO VOLATILE AND
THEREFORE TOO DANGEROUS THESE DAYS.
OTHERS WILL TELL YOU _THAT RIGHT_ NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO DIVE IN.
HERE IS PERHAPS THE MOST CONFUSING THING OF ALL:
_THEY'RE BOTH RIGHT._
WHEN IT COMES TO THE STOCK MARKET, ONE THING IS FOR SURE: _EVERYBODY
HAS AN OPINION_. AND THE NATURE OF THAT OPINION DEPENDS ON ONE THING:
_KNOWLEDGE_.
IF YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE STOCK MARKET, THEN THE FIRST
OPINION IS RIGHT: THIS _IS_ A VOLATILE TIME THE MARKET, WITH MUCH
UNCERTAINLY AND SIGNIFICANT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS. IT IS NO PLACE FOR THE
IGNORANT OR THE NAVE.
BUT IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, THEN THE RECENT DIP IN THE MARKET
CAN PRESENT SOME UNPRECEDENTED BUYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH SHORT AND
LONG TERM INVESTORS. EVEN NEW ONES LIKE YOU.
THE TRUTH IS, MANY INVESTORS WILL MAKE A KILLING
IN THIS MARKET.
WILL_ YOU_ BE ONE OF THEM?
HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ANYONE WHO IS STAYING OUT OF THE STOCK
MARKET FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT:
THEY AREN'T SURE HOW TO BEGIN, OR WHAT THEY DO KNOW ABOUT THE STOCK
MARKET IS INTIMIDATING.
OR WORSE, THEY REMAIN ON THE SIDELINES BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD THEM THE
STOCK MARKET IS "TOO RISKY."
IGNORANCE_ISN'T_ BLISS AFTER ALL.
RATHER, WHERE INVESTING FOR YOUR RETIREMENT IS CONCERNED, IT'S A
PROMISE OF _MEDIOCRITY_.
AND IN THIS MARKET, A MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
BECAUSE IF YOU PUT YOUR LONG-TERM MONEY INTO SAVINGS BONDS OR A
SAVINGS ACCOUNT, THEN YOU STAND LITTLE CHANCE AT ALL OF RETIRING WITH
ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE AS YOU CHOOSE. IN FACT, YOU'LL BE LUCKY TO KEEP
UP WITH THE RATE OF INFLATION OVER THE YEARS.
THE TRUTH IS, UNLESS YOU START A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN, THE
STOCK MARKET IS YOUR BEST AND PERHAPS YOUR_ ONLY_ CHANCE TO RETIRE
COMFORTABLY.
IF - _AND ONLY IF_ - YOU BEGIN IT NOW.
_ESPECIALLY_ NOW.
ANNOUNCING A NEW BOOK WRITTEN FOR PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU.
PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO THE STOCK MARKET AND COULD USE HELP IN
UNDERSTANDING AND CAPTURING THIS EXCITING OPPORTUNITY.
ISN'T IT TIME YOU SECURE YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE THROUGH THE POWER OF
KNOWLEDGE AND THE CONQUERING OF UNFOUNDED FEAR?
LET'S GET REAL THE ONLY VALID REASON TO FEAR THE STOCK MARKET IS
BECAUSE YOU DON'T _UNDERSTAND_ IT.
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE ALL THAT.

MEET OMAR BEST, AUTHOR OF "_HOW TO BE A STOCK MARKET PLAYER_," AN
EASY TO UNDERSTAND BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO NO LONGER WISH TO ALLOW FEAR
AND IGNORANCE TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THEIR FUTURE:
Dear Investor:
"Fear" is, ironically, a scary word. None of us want to admit to it,
but anyone who has looked at the stock market from the outside and
felt a twinge of regret and frustration based on the sad truth that
they've stayed away because they don't know enough to even start, must
admit that _fear_ is part of the problem.
Call it fear, call it ignorance, call it working too hard for a
living to take time to educate yourself whatever. The time has come to
stop making excuses and realize that the opportunity just might be
passing you by. Because the stock market is, based on historical data,
the best and most consistent long-term investment out there. And with
recent events driving the stock market to its lowest levels in years,
the rationale for getting in is stronger than ever. Because the market
will come back - it always has, and it always will.
The question is, will you be "in" when it does?
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW _YOU_ CAN GET INVOLVED. AND I'LL DO IT BY
INTRODUCING YOU THE BASICS OF THE STOCK MARKET IN LANGUAGE YOU CAN
EASILY GRASP AND IMMEDIATELY APPLY.
There is only one way to conquer fear, and that's through the power
of _knowledge_. This is why I'm here today, laying out this
opportunity for you in the plainest language I can. Because I've
written a book for people just like you, people who don't feel they
know enough about the stock market to get their feet wet, yet realize
they are missing a great opportunity if they don't.
I'M WILLING TO LAY ODDS THAT YOU WOULD TAKE A LONG, SERIOUS AT THE
STOCK MARKET IF YOU HAD A PERSONAL MENTOR TO SHOW YOU THE ROPES.
You don't have to go back to school to learn about the stock market.
And you don't need a personal mentor standing at your side explaining
things. But you _do_ need a fundamental knowledge of the stock market
to get started, along with a solid grasp of the vocabulary and the
underlying principles involved.
And that's what my book is all about. I'm not talking about turning
you into an expert - you don't need to be an expert to succeed in the
stock market - or how to pick stocks that _always_ go up (the fact is,
nobody on the planet can do that). What I _am_ talking about is
leveling the playing field for you, so that you can research and
invest with the same confidence as anyone else out there, including
those who _are_ making all the money.
You don't need a four-year degree in finance, and you don't need to
devote all your feel time to watching the market. What you absolutely
need is the confidence to overcome your fear. And I'm going to give it
you in the form of knowledge.
IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE AND UTTER
CONFIDENCE:
*WHERE AND HOW DO I BUY AND SELL STOCKS?
*WHO GETS MY MONEY WHEN I INVEST IN STOCKS?
*HOW DO I KNOW WHICH STOCKS TO BUY, WHICH COMPANIES ARE WORTH
INVESTING IN?
*HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO SELL THE STOCK I OWN?
*HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
*DO I NEED A STOCKBROKER, AND HOW MUCH WILL THAT COST ME?
*WHO SETS THE PRICES FOR THE STOCKS I BUY AND SELL?
*AM I GOING TO LOSE SOME OF MY MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET?
THESE QUESTIONS AND OTHERS LIKE THEM ARE THE THINGS THAT KEEP MANY
PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE STOCK MARKET, BECAUSE THE ANSWERS SEEM ELUSIVE,
COMPLEX AND INTIMIDATING. BUT THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW THOSE ANSWERS ARE
NO SMARTER OR BETTER EDUCATED THAN YOU ARE, THEY JUST _KNOW_. AND NOW
YOU CAN, TOO.
TO SHOW YOU HOW SIMPLE SOME OF THESE CONCEPTS ARE, HERE ARE ANSWERS
TO A FEW OF THE MOST CONFUSING PRINCIPLES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO
THE STOCK MARKET:
_WHO GETS MY MONEY WHEN I BUY STOCK? _
THINK OF THE STOCK MARKET AS YOU WOULD A USED CAR LOT, BECAUSE THAT'S
PRECISELY WHAT IT IS - A _USED_ _STOCK_ MARKET, WHERE SHARES OWNED BY
SOMEONE ELSE (USUALLY _NOT_ THE ISSUING COMPANY) ARE PUT UP FOR SALE.
THE ONLY TIME THE COMPANY WHOSE NAME IS ON THE STOCK CERTIFICATE GETS
MONEY FROM THE SALE OF THEIR STOCK IS IF THE STOCK IS NEWLY ISSUED,
CALLED AN "IPO" (INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING). IN THIS CASE, THE STOCK
ISN'T BEING SOLD ON A STOCK MARKET, BUT DIRECTLY TO INVESTORS THROUGH
"UNDERWRITERS," WHO ACT AS A SALES AGENT FOR THE ISSUING COMPANY.
_WHY DOES THE PRICE OF A STOCK FLUCTUATE? _
THE STOCK MARKET IS THE PUREST EXAMPLE IN THE UNIVERSE OF THE LAW OF
SUPPLY AND DEMAND AT WORK. BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE SET BY PEOPLE WHO
ARE BIDDING TO BUY, IN CONTEXT TO THE PRICES AT WHICH PEOPLE ARE
WILLING TO SELL.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS EASILY UNDERSTOOD IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. IF
MANY PEOPLE WANT TO BUY A PARTICULAR HOUSE, THEY WILL MAKE HIGHER AND
HIGHER BIDS, WHILE THE SELLER SIMPLY WAITS TO SEE WHICH WILL BE THE
HIGHEST BEFORE THEY SELL. BUT IF THERE ARE NO OFFERS, THE SELLER WILL
HAVE TO GRADUALLY LOWER THEIR PRICE UNTIL AN OFFER ARRIVES. THIS IS
PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENS ON THE STOCK MARKET - THE MORE PEOPLE WANT A
STOCK, THE HIGHER THE PRICE, AND VICE VERSA.
_HOW HAS THE STOCK MARKET DONE OVER THE _YEARS?
VERY WELL, THANK YOU. OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS, THE STOCK MARKET HAS
AVERAGED A RATE OF RETURN OF 11. 2 PERCENT (THE S FONT-FAMILY:
"ARIAL","SANS-SERIF"\">

BUY ANYTHING.
