Investing in the Jamaica Stock Market for Beginners - Make Money with Stocks

[@SuperPhilomath]

I am seriously considering investing in the JA stock exchange so I have been researching with intent over the weekend. This video was very informative. Very interesting.

[@learngrowinvest]

Happy you found it helpful. You should definitely consider it.

[@ifehawilson3016]

these topics need to be teach in schools

[@learngrowinvest]

We fully agree. That's why we work with schools currently to teach children how to invest.

[@juniormarshallhastings723]

Stock trading and public traded companies are taught in school for students who do Principles of Business.

[@Nightowl298]

So true this should have been thought to us in school

[@sharongordon-smith176]

What a great teacher. Very concise and easy to understand. You've got it sir.

[@learngrowinvest]

Glad you think so!

[@Harris-Smith]

A very detailed simple breakdown of investment and the stock market/exchange. Had to share this in my family group. Great beginners information 👏 👏👏

[@learngrowinvest]

Thanks Michelle. Happy you've found us.

[@redzwashere]

Thanks for sharing. I haven't used a broker since i started my account in December of 2021. I just use the resources that are available to me, youtube, the various brokers website and see what they value the company at and finally news. Then i purchase. But it's always best to take that first step. Now I'm trying to educate myself so i can make better choices to get to my goal.

[@kemarblake1854]

Liked and subscribed. Question- suppose I want to use dollar cost averaging for a particular stock meaning buying a stock and leaving it over years before selling it, do i need to watch to see if the stock is going up or down. 2) What's the difference between buying a stock at a high price vs buying it at a low price and does it matter?

[@learngrowinvest]

Great question. Dollar cost averaging means you're not concerned really with the stock price, instead you're buying consistently whether each month, each quarter, etc. For your second question, its hard to say if a stock price is too high, price is only one of the factors to consider for an investment. Usually a "low" price is associated with the Price to Earnings (P/E) for the company being low, which again doesn't necessarily make the investment a buy or even the right fit for you. I recommend watching our Fundamental Analysis video to see some of the factors to consider when purchasing a stock.

[@kemarblake1854]

@@learngrowinvest ok thanks I have started

[@marvinfletcher8363]

Very good presentation. Question is it good to have multiple brokerage accounts ?

[@learngrowinvest]

It has its benefits, so I'd say yes.

[@alexn.manninternetmarketeu1344]

Great information. I want to know, does Jamaica base the economy on the Economic cycle as in the United States? Also where can I find that information?

[@learngrowinvest]

Can you rephrase the question Alex?

[@ChristianPrincess55]

Never knew of the pension plan

[@learngrowinvest]

Definitely. You should speak with your pension provider and see what's included.

[@juniormarshallhastings723]

0:12 Going to a license financial adviser.... BYE😂

[@learngrowinvest]

😂😂 The things included in the video aren't taught by a licensed financial advisor. That's why we have our channel.

[@learngrowinvest]

Before you speak with your licensed financial advisor, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXTWeZKnbp1kbrM

[@billbill4553]

Is there a trading platform that illustrate candlestick charts for the JSE?

[@learngrowinvest]

You can use the Instrument page on JSE, JMMB Moneyline, and other applications to view Candlesticks for the companies.

[@Bailey-zi9ze]

Thanks for the information it really helped.

[@ruthannwhyte549]

Hi good morning am thinking about investing in stock market, however how much money does one need to have in order buy stock?

[@learngrowinvest]

That's great news Ruthann. You can open a brokerage account in Jamaica for J$5,000. You can try VM, JMMB or Sagicor I believe are currently at the low end in terms of amount to open the account. You'll have access to the funds once the account is opened.

[@logiclogic4643]

Can you only buy individual stocks in the JSE or you can buy a basket of stocks like the S and P 500 inbthe US stock market?

[@learngrowinvest]

Most brokers have Funds/Unit Trusts that have a pool of stocks. You'd have to request the information to see if it matches your preferences. The SELECTF and SELECTMD stocks mirror the Financial and Manufacturing index

[@christopheredwards8854]

Is the Jtrader account is a must open account?

[@learngrowinvest]

It's a must have if you plan to manage your own investments (which is what we recommend). Some brokers have their own platform but most of them integrate with JtraderPro.

[@relaxwithnature6532]

How do you choose to buy common vs preference?

[@learngrowinvest]

It really starts with your goal for investing. The preference shares will have consistent (coupon) dividend payments, so if that's your priority then choose that option. Otherwise common stock provides opportunity for capital gains, so if that's your priority then focus there. Hope this helps

[@dillangrant7064]

Is the price of the shares indicated the amount the entire unit is being sold for or the price indicated is per individual share? Example 1000 share at a selling price of $30....is it $30 for the entire 1000 shares or $30 for a single share?

[@dwayneoneil689]

@@learngrowinvest How can you predict if the a stock price will fall or rise ?

[@learngrowinvest]

@@dwayneoneil689 You can assume it will go up or down based on certain factors but you can't predict. It's impossible to predict the future results of a company. Factors that drive prices up/down. 1. Positive Earnings 2. Sentiment 3. News/Events etc. So you research, forecast, then based on that data make an assumption that certain factors can lead to a favorable outcome - either up or down.

[@dwayneoneil689]

@@learngrowinvest Ok, Thanks for the response,just to add to question. I heard someone said when you look on the queue for say a particular stocks and base on the amount of order to sell if is more than orders to buy then the stock will go down on that particular day is this true ?

[@learngrowinvest]

@@dwayneoneil689 I think they are referring to whats called Selling Pressure. Think about it. If many people want to sell more than those who want to buy, the sellers may start to offer lower prices in order to sell their shares faster or to beat the other sellers. You can't speak to absolutes but that's a reasonable assumption in some cases.

[@deandrasmith5639]

Hey, what does the week to date, month to date etc. with percentage mean on the JSE website?

[@jav4384]

Yes you can invest from outside Jamaica. Once you meet the requirements. You must of course find a good way to get funds in and out of your investment account. If you current bank has a brokerage firm, there might be a good place to start.

Is the currency in USD or JMD?? Also can do shorts? If yes do I need a special account for that??

You can invest in both USD and JMD. Some stocks are denominated in both. You'll just need to create a USD JCSD account for that.

Some companies pay a quarterly dividend. But dividends aren't guaranteed. For monthly you might have to look into other instruments.
