1. I’m sure there are little tricks, but nothing is certain

2. To be blunt, no. If there was a guaranteed way to make money in the stock market we’d all be doing it.

3. There are no tricks. Some banks over here offer "click fund" type products. Some guarantee you will get your money back so there is no risk involved. But all of these products means that the customer is paying an insurance premium to the bank. So if the stocks go up up up - you only make part of what you would have made if you took full risk by buying the individual stocks.

   Especially if you cannot afford to lose the money, I feel it is better to stick to savings accounts.

   I feel the market is still too expensive so I am sitting on the sideline waiting for the bubble to burst.

4. What I suggest is that you invest in a company that has just degraded and that you know its stocks will increase (ex. Toyota). Another way of making cash fast is to invest in companies that have made a big gain, and to take back your cash automatically when stocks start to decrease (you should make sure you can make a profit since every transaction has a little cost).

5. looking for ‘Tricks’ is really a bad idea when it comes to stock market.
   If you are already low on cash, probably getting into stocks might get you into more
   trouble (just my experience and a piece of advice).
   Still, to answer your question there is another word for these ‘Tricks’ you are looking for, called ‘Speculation’.
   Following ‘Stock market whispers’, news on ‘mergers and acquisitions’, ’seasonal stocks’ example retail companies during the month of december etc., might help

6. Hi,

   Well, telling you the truth, guaranteed profit is just an illusion. But after many years of trading and learning, you can become more and more successful in trading - in a lucky case.
   To have a regular help service, you can use advisors. I use Nav N Trade at http://www.navntrade.com and they help me a lot: they confirm or confute my opinion on trading, I find it very useful.

   Good luck for trading.

7. being low on cash and trying the stock market should never go together. There’s a reason people use the word "risk" when talking about the stock market. NOTHING is guaranteed. Especially in the short run, too hard to predict the daily/weekly ups and downs of the market.

   But there ways to make educated guesses, though there is no way to eliminate the risk.

8. There’s no guarantees on stock. They go up and down. That’s just the way it works.

9. Trading is easy. Trading is hard. Both are right.
   The goal is to reach the first.
   For me, Nav N Trade is the help.

10. Nope. You have to risk money to make money. If you don’t know what you’re doing in the stock market then you’re going to lose it all. I had to learn it the hard way. Research the stock market or particular stocks then invest. I’m doing much, much better now that I did a lot of research.

11. There is no way to get guaranteed income from investing in the stock market. The stock market has potential for high returns but with that comes a high potential for loss.

    Also, if you are short on cash, you should save up the money you have, i.e. keep it in cash, so that you don’t run the risk of losing all of it. Think of this way, let’s say you have $500 in the stock market and you need to pay for a medical bill that costs $500. You can’t walk into the doctor’s office and say that you have $500 in stocks so you should be treated. However, if you have $500 in cash, you can pay the bill and get treated.

    Another thing that I want to say is that this whole business of "making money in the stock market" is really a bunch of close-minded garbage. I know someone who invests in stocks and in a year he has gained 30% return. His father remarked that it is easy to get addicted to "easy money" and this person I know naturally took exception to that remark from his father. That 30% return was mistakenly referred to as a "profit" but that is completely false. Look, there is no such thing as a profit or loss until you get the cash to your hand. Let’s say that you invest $1000 and in a year, that $1000 becomes $1300. If you don’t sell your investments, you have not made any profits, but rather, your investment has grown in value. If you don’t sell, your so-called profits and losses are only on paper and they’re not really profits.
