Swing Trading 101: How To Get Started Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

Swing trading is a style of trading stocks that isn’t day trading or investing. It sits in between those two styles. Day trading is going in and out of positions during a single day. Investing is holding for the long-term (i.e., months and years).

Swing trading positions are generally held for a few days or weeks. The specific types of trading strategies or techniques can vary widely—some associate swing trading with taking advantage of price swings while others prefer straight momentum up trends.

But, at its core, swing trading is more about the time a trade is held than any particular trading style. Let's take a closer look at how swing trading works to help you decide if it its a worthwhile strategy for making money in the stock market.

How To Invest In Silver: A Straightforward List Of Your Best Options Jan 22, 2021

Show notes

There are multiple ways to invest in silver. Silver is a store of value and is an entirely different type of investment compared to stocks (equities).

Since a stock represents the value of a company, it's value can drop all the way to zero. Silver, however, represents the value of a commodity. This means that it will always have some intrinsic value.

That may sound like a benefit (and it is). However, there are drawbacks to investing in silver such as purchase costs that are often higher than stocks and, in some cases, the hassle of trying to find a place to store your silver safely.

The good news for those who want to invest in silver is that there are ways to maximize the benefits while minimizing the downsides. In this article, we’ll look at a few different ways to invest in silver.
