I can not comment very well, since I have never invested
in the stock market of values, @intelliguy in 2013 to be
your first time You run with the luck of not losing everything
so you only lost 2 dollars. Although later you say you lost $ 500
trying to learn the business.
In my opinion, although I am not an expert before starting in this world of
bag as a novice should first make course of "traders" so that
Have an idea of what they are getting into.
In my country, a saying that goes like this: "DO NOT DO SPELL IF
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE PORTIONS"
which means do not invest in something you do not know very well.
