I really want to be able to pick a price and set a program to buy a certain amount when/if a chosen stock reaches that price and then to sell it when/if it reaches the selected sell price. If that is possible can you tell me a platform that can do it with paper trading and also with using actual...

Hi, I would like to learn to do paper trading using a service (platform?) that allows us to begin doing actual money trading after we become somewhat familiar with how to use their programs by practicing with paper trading. I've heard of thinkorswim, webull and tradingview. What I'm hoping to...

The land is only valued at $18000 on the public tax page I looked at, but it might be going up in value pretty quickly. There are a number of nice big new homes that have gone up in that area. It's right by a big lake, just across the street which apparently counts for something. I don't want it...

I'm sorry if this isn't really a proper place to post these questions but people here seem to know about financing and I'm getting desperate to try to find a reasonable solution to the situation if there is one. I'm trying to get a mortgage to buy a home that involves an older 1970 mobile home...

What you said does make sense, thank you Xela! What is level 2, and is it something we can look at somehow? Also I'm curious what you do trade since you don't trade stocks. I think I understand it, but still am wondering if it's the same proportionally, or whatever the appropriate term would...

At first that seemed to answer the question but thinking on about it instead it brings more things into question, like how? Is there one super trading computer that is programmed to raise or lower the price of all stocks according to supply and demand? And whatever does it, is it done...

Thank you Xela, and everyone who has been so helpful!!! At this point I believe not understanding the distinction between investing and trading probably resulted in me buying a book that doesn't well apply to what I'm hoping to do, but I am used to making such mistakes and of course wish that...

Thank you Handle123 for your help, and everyone else who has been helping me!!! I don't understand the vast majority of what people are telling me, but am putting significant things in my notes and will keep going back re-reading them over and over. I've ordered some books and hopefully after...

Do the companies control the prices at which their stocks sell, raising the price as more stocks are sold? Or does the price automatically rise as more are bought, and then go down when they are sold? Or doesn't the number of sales have anything to do with it? Or...??? Also, can you always buy...

I don't know the terminology which is one of the main reasons I'm looking for something to explain the basics. I ordered "Investing Online for Dummies" and hope that will help. Otherwise I guess I'll take each term and try to find the definition, and what the person meant when they used it. For...

Would you be willing to share any of the specific companies you're referring to, or explain how to find similar ones? Can we search for stocks that are in a price range from $... to $..., for example?

Elsewhere I was told that penny stocks are stocks that used to be of greater value but have dropped to their present level...they are in the "grave yard". I had thought it was just the opposite and they were beginning stocks that hadn't reached a higher value yet. The former position is not hard...
