There are different factors to consider before purchasing stocks in order to have a profitable and successful investment.
These factors are: the amount of capital you have, the time frame for investment, your experience with investing, how much risk you’re willing to take and your tolerance for risk, as well as whether or not you're planning on borrowing money to purchase stocks.

The stock market is volatile and prices can change significantly during the day. So it's important that investors remain cautious when buying stocks at all times. For example, investors should not keep all of their investment funds in stocks . Instead , they should place a certain percentage of the investment funds into various investments such as CDs , short-term bonds and money market funds .

Given that these stocks are valued at the time of purchase , there's the option to sell them at any time . This is crucial because when shares get to a point where the market is overvalued, some traders will sell their shares for more than they paid for them to avoid losses later on . As a result , supply outstrips demand which leads to falling prices and eventually serious losses .
