I have some extra cash laying around so instead of spending it on dumb stuff (I'm prone to that) I decided to start investing. I signed up for Fidelity last night, since that is where my IRA is, and made some trades this morning. So far I'm up $12 .
Anybody else do this for fun? What do you invest in? Any tips for a noob?
Ha-ha! A month ago, I also decided to slowly invest, instead of spending money on all sorts of unnecessary things.
To begin with, I decided to buy currency, since our ruble has a habit of falling sharply. I bought a N-amount dollars and after the new year the ruble weakened a little and I got a profit. I think to buy some more bucks In the future, I may start buying shares of enterprises.
By the way, do you also need to pay profit tax on the winnings on the stock exchange? In our country, they did it quite recently.
