I made my money by trading forex, stocks and commodities hurt my capital really badly hence why I only trade forex now.
It's the best way to make your money, this is because unlike companies, Which are affected by factors like CEO resigning etc, majors and minors base their price solely on how many people are buying that major/minor and at what volume. A lot of people buy it, goes up. A lot of people sell it, goes down, thus allowing the more experienced to make a fair deal of money on major/minor prices as shown in that previous picture of my trades. Unless there are issues like Brexit which cause huge uncertainty leading to my unfortunate loss, but remember if Britain remained, I would have made upwards of £18,000.
However if you still want to trade stocks, maybe if you are looking to become an investment banker and want to increase job prospects, either do a "Buffet" where you learn where the company wants to be in five years, if common sense tells you it's likely to get there, and then buy the most likely, undervalued stock. However this involves extensive research into a company and needs long term investments. If your lazy, then just follow the moves Buffet makes... By reading this news. But be prepared to stay solid on the stock, even when it can fall rapidly, if it does BUY MORE!
Or have a look at the Fibonacci method, play this right and you definitely won't regret it.
BTW, been trading since I was 14 so I'd like to think I have some decent experience...
