I just can't seem to understand where to even begin when doing stock investing- I don't trust myself to make the right decisions to where I would benefit from doing this.

How to get the best information on which brand new companies to invest in, I have recently been failing miserably.

I'd say finding small companies with high growth potential, it's hard to spot these gems

Having enough spare capital to invest to make it worthwhile

I think that the biggest challenge has been staying consistent and not chasing quicks wins/gains.

How long this stock will be profitable and on an upward trend and assurance of a return on investment in the future.

when i buy something it trades sideways or goes down, when i sell something it goes to the moon, im cursed

I have trouble keeping track of all the different stock apps I use.

I sometimes don't really know what to invest at times. I worry about the ups and downs and it can confuse me quite a bit.

The settlement time for cash to become available.

The unpredictability of the market us my biggest frustration. It is very difficult to tell what will happen next

The challenge is that I don't really directly understand how the PE ratio plays into how much the company is valued at.

My single biggest challenge is to find the right kind of service that will make me make deposits that are small but would add up over time and the service doesn't charge any fees.

Probably the most significant challenge has been to know when to buy and sell as well as any associated fees with making such a decision. For example, brokerage fees may apply in certain circumstances based on the total amount of the trade. Preventing these fees is key to a solid investment portfolio.

I think my biggest challenge is knowing which stock to invest in. When I invest in stocks I will usually invest in some of the major companies, but I feel there are sometimes better stocks to invest in. The stocks of the major companies do not often increase that much. They usually stay the same and sometimes go up and down a little. I'd like to find a stock that would give me a good value as an investment.

I do not know how to read the information. What makes the company good, bad or otherwise. Is buying 1 share of a $100 stock as god as buying 10 shares of a $10 stock?

Knowing when to actually purchase. I feel like every time I buy a stock it immediately tanks and I am left holding a bag.

I don't feel knowledgeable about what to invest in. I find researching very difficult and I just don't feel confident in my decisions. I wish I could have an advisor telling what and how much to invest in.

My greatest struggle would be the money needed to invest. I do want to invest, and actually have someone that could walk me through investing, but I don’t have any money or spare money to invest right now.

The biggest challenge is understanding how to monitor any investments and ideally when you should choose to recover your invest or let it ride

I don't really have any. I invest in index funds and just add money as I can, letting the dividends reinvest and grow my fund.

Market volatility. The market is so volatile and unpredictable right now that nothing feels safe to invest in other than keeping cash and solid stock. I would like to be able to access more information from verified investors.

My biggest frustration is the cut that stockmen, apps and services take; I've always wanted to know if there was a direct way that I, myself, can buy or sell, without percentages being taken off for the middleman. I'd like to think I understand the system well enough to do things on my own, without using a go-between.

Finding stocks that are worthwhile. Finding ones that will be good long term and short term based on my preferences at the time.

Right now I simply have no money to invest. I can barely pay the bills, let alone invest in a stock market that seems to be falling rapidly. I wish there was a way to put just a few bucks in to a stock every month, since that’s all I can really afford.

I'm frustrated how it is seemingly rigged by the wealthiest people in the world. For example, recently Elon Musk has been posting things on Twitter that have caused certain stocks to go up and down based solely on what he posts. If I remember correctly there were several news articles about how what he was doing was technically illegal. However, I don't recall seeing any follow-up articles that talked about whether he got fined or punished at all for any potentially illegal activity. It seems ridiculous that we don't have the laws, or nobody is willing to enforce them, when people potentially break the rules. The same frustration applies to members of Congress who are privy to inside information because of their committee meetings and seemingly always get away with some form of insider trading. I know there are bills put forward on the floor to put an end to Congresspeople investing in stocks, but it should have already been done, and I feel that it is likely not going to pass anyway.

Sometimes I feel like the deck is stacked against me as a small middle class person wanting to trade. I have research and followed stock market since i was a kid but I just do not feel like it is a middle class game. Just cannot compete with computers and billions of pooled money.

There was a time I was investing in stock avidly. However it has been sometime that I've started putting my money towards savings and retirement. If I had to go back to stock investing, my single biggest challenge would be the instability of the current economical climate. It only takes one misnomer from the white house to change the value of a company's stock drastically.

Well, in the case of the market the biggest complication is the psychological reaction of the market, the market acts by people's emotions rather than by specific events that occur in it.In other words, due to rumors, an action goes up or down in price, even if it weren't true.These rumors create crazy reactions in market prices, making well-informed strategies end up being a losing action.

The markets are manipulated by billionaires. It is difficult to determine a good point of entry or exit because the markets are volatile.

I am never sure how much extra income I can invest into stocks so I am always worried my 5, 10 or 25 dollars woudln't be worth it. I am also worried about fees, I would continuously worry about overcharging or losing money to hidden fees.

I do not do stock investing. I was never taught how and it all just overwhelms me. Maybe there should be an easy to read 'how to' book that it explains it more simply for people like me.

Mostly as a beginning, language and guides that are a little bit more simplified and can help a normal person that isn't as well educated in stocks, and investing.

It is easily the day trading rule. To be limited to certain amount trade per week is truly annoying.

My biggest frustration would be reducing the amount of possible decisions. There are just too many options to where to invest your money. What stops me from investing is where to put my money that I won't lose it or where it can sit and not make any money.

When it comes to stocks my main question would be how do I know how to pick one stock over the other. Growing up my parents had stock but it was always in a company that we had some sort of connection to, like my dad's employer. So other than that how do I know what to look for? Should I just be looking for a stock with a lower price right now so I can buy more shares? Or should I look for a company that has a proven record of going up, like Apple, and buy as much stock as I can afford in that company? Or what other factors should I consider before investing in stocks? It almost feels like it's just random like playing the lottery. You pick one thing (one stock or one set of numbers) and then just hope that you win (stock goes up or your numbers get picked). I also don't even know what is too small of an amount to invest. If I only have $50 is that not enough? Or would it just take 5 years instead of 1 year to maybe make some decent money.

There is always membership fees. It is frustrating when they sell off my stock to pay for it.

How long should I be holding a stock that has risen significantly? Like how much of a percentage in gains should I look to get out.

I struggle to find good, simple information. I know a little about stocks but everything seems over my head or behind paywalls. I want a free, easy to use solution.

How can you predict the future in terms of a companies growth and potential.

determining when to time the market is the greatest fear that i have .

Trying to find the bottom. Lots of wise people say that you can’t time the bottom with good reason, but that doesn’t make it any easier to jump in too soon and ride it down, especially if you took too big of a position and can’t average down.

My biggest challenge with stock investing is understanding all the details in the reports of a company. It becomes overwhelming and makes choosing stocks feel difficult. It becomes a gamble that you don't know the odds. I prefer my gambles to be made with an idea of my chances such as in poker.

The biggest frustration is trying to figure out taxes before, during and after I make trades. It's hard to anticipate how much I need to set aside, and it's pretty confusing all around.

How to know exactly when to buy and sell, when prices start dropping I get too scared and pull out too quickly but if prices are rising I can also get over anxious and want to sell before it starts dropping again.

I've been going back and forth on whether it's better to invest in actual traditional companies, or if that's becoming a thing of the past and the crypto investments are the more lucrative option. The speculation makes me fail to act, because I really can't afford to lose money right now.

My biggest challenge is trying to not monitor the price fluctuations too much.

I don't invest in stocks because I don't understand them or how to invest wisely.

Performing sound technical analysis and finding my footing on which stocks I want to actually dump money into.

My single question is how to invest the right way. How do I start?
