When you watch a 12 minute video and learn more useful information than you learn in 12 years of school

I'm learning so much from these basic introductory videos and your replies to questions in the comments, I definitely subscribed. I have a health issue which prevents me from having physically demanding jobs and I think trading in stock market will save my life. It's that serious so thank you so much!

I'm watching this instead of studying for my exams tomorrow 😂😂

I'm only 13 but I just realized that a video game trading system is exactly like a stock market... thanks so much for making this video!

For the first time in my life i got to know how the stock market works. Thanx Clay!

Great introductory video! It all started with early live market trading - selling cattle, corn, vegetables and the like. Buyers and sellers used to meet at the town square and haggle (bargain) prices and deals would take place. Then with industrialization, companies needed to raise money. So they devised a plan to go to the public and sell parts of their company for a dollar amount (not material parts, parts of ownership). This they called "a share" So 1 share is a representation of ownership in a company. For example Facebook, (FB) their initial offering was about $38/- a share when it started trading in May 2012. Then in August 2012, Facebook's share dipped to $19.69. Today March 17, 2017 the single share value is $139.99 Suppose a lady, let's say her name is Helen, aged 62, purchased 100 shares on May 2012 at the Initial Public Offering (IPO) that would have cost her $3800/- She wanted to save for her retirement and thought Facebook would be a good company to invest in by holding on to that stock and see the company's value rise. Today let's say she is 67 years old and wants to sell her stock of 100 shares of FB @ $139.99 per share. Someone (a buyer) unseen through any brokerage will buy it because FB shares are still in demand. (*If FB did not do so well, then there won't be any buyers, so that's the risk you run into trading stocks. The share has to be in demand at the current point of time you decide you want to sell and are looking for a buyer). So she sells it. $139.99 x 100 shares = $13,999/- Her profit: $13,999 - $3,800 = $10,199. No bank will give you this sort of return in just 5 years. Not in your wildest dreams. That is why people clamor after stocks/ shares of good performing companies. Of course, all earnings are subject to Capital Gains tax - Gains you make on selling a stock. (a collection of shares of a single company).

This video was posted back in 2016 , 4 years later it is still one of the most informative videos on KZfaq to ever exist ! Thank you sir .

This is actually the very first video that I stumbled upon that clearly explains what the stock market is. Thank you fam.

Thank you, this is by far the most helpful, in-depth video I have found explaining the stock market. I am looking to get into the stock market but had limited understanding of how people make money in the stock market. Thank you!

exactly what i needed thnk u so much

You, my friend have got my subscription and i hope to learn a lot from you. Thank you for simplifying these 2 videos and paying attention to the comment section!

These videos are great! Thanks so much for the help - just what I was looking for.

From this video, and the previous one, I have learned more from you, than from my trading class! You're very informative while keeping it simple.

i was inspired to become a beginner .thx

I am so glad that person asked that question. I've been searching for these answers for weeks, and I agree, many videos I've watched seem to breeze over these seemingly obvious answers. They have just not been obvious to me.

So thankful for these videos. Started a marketing class in my last year and felt it was way above my head until I found these

These trading 101 videos are great! Very good teacher. Thank you!

Clay bro that was so well explained... stay doing good and god bless man

Omg! Omg! Thank you for this. I am really new and felt left out and yes it is common sense but you made it better to understand thank you!

" Thank you" is not enough to say according to how this guy explains the lesson but that is all what I can ! Thank you so much😊

You just got yourself a new subscriber :DD

Okay, let me see if I get this straight. To put it in Layman's terms, I buy a 10 dollar stock, it raises to 20 dollars, I sell it at 20 bucks, someone buys it for 20 bucks, I get back 10 bucks. Sorry, I'm a beginner and just wanted to see if that was the case.

I have search, search, and search for the right understanding of how the stock market works and you my sir have answer my questions. You broke it down to the simplest way for us beginners to understand. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

Much appreciated man. I am watching every one of your videos one by one. You explain this in a way I am able to understand. Thank you.

this was such a great video! it explained so much! thank you!

😂😂ok thank u a lot this really helped me out on my school assignment

Love this video. You were to me very clear in explaining the basics of how it works when you buy stock and how to sale your stock in the most effective way..Yes i finally get it. Thank You

u are the only person that makes me understand all these concepts, its soo clear and measurable, I really enjoy it, hope u upload more videos about stock market.

GTA V brought me here

" Anyway ya slice it " -pun intended lmao Love it

Thank you so much for this. You made it so simple to understand. Looking forward to watching the rest of these videos

thank you for making these videos, you explain everything in the easiest ways to understand

so it's eBay

I got a mock app and it has real time stocks I made a lot got cocky and then had 20 stocks and lost a majority of my money.. I thought originally you buy stocks and let them sit but I bought a stock and it went from $1-$5 to $300 profit. It's crazy you literally have to sit there and watch it and guess if it will go up or go down. You could make a lot but could lose a lot.

exactly the question (in your example) I was looking for during my search! Thanks!

I am new to trading and I have learned more in 5 min than I have reading 2 books... thank you... i have subscribed to your greatness.

made 340usd on 1 options contract with AMZN on a steady drop...sweet

Great Video! Learnt a lot from this. Also I had some basic queries as a beginner. So the broker is the mediator helping people trade shares, so do brokers first buy shares from the company or is it that the company sells its shares to these brokers directly? And in that case since there are many brokers, are the prices of shares of one company the same everywhere with all the brokers? Also what are these companies like NASDAQ? Are they brokers? Sorry for asking a lot of questions, any reply would be appreciated. Thank you!

this channel is super helpful for people like me, who study science for all their life and have no idea about the stock market, thank you so much

Thank you for all your videos, very easy to understand. Keep it up.

What if you choose to keep the stock? Do you gain anything from it ?

sorry I'm a beginner I would to know that if I buy a share and I don't sale it. Do I get any benefit from company that I buy a share?

I've searched everywhere to find a full explanation of stock trading and never found a satisfying one. Thanks for these vids, doesn't matter how long they've been here, they've helped me a great deal. I am in college and I want to make use of the opportunity to save.

I love video that are very basic, and everybody could understand. Keep it up

Quickmaffs!🤣😂

how much you have to pay for the broker if you sell or buy ?

finances are scary for most poeple who dont usually invest...your videos take all the "big words" out of simple questions. You are saving people a lot of time, worry and grief.....thank you VERY much for making these videos

I appreciate the simplified explanations that you provided. Thanks a lot.

How much money can we make from stock market?

I’m a 23 year old from Australia, nobody in my family trades stocks or even knows that it exists, everybody lives day to day life, 9-5. I would like to just know a few things that you might have the knowledge and some answers to it. Before I become the first stock trader or broker in the future. Q1. How do you sign up and start finding a stock broker/do you need one at all. Is there such a thing as individual trader where you have full control over picking and choosing by yourself without a team. Q2. I’m a full time painter in Melbourne, I have money on the side to play with. How much would you recommend for a beginner to start with and not blow all of his or hers money in the first week of becoming a investor. Q3. Is there a book you could recommend me and others to read and get our hands onto it. Like how to read the charts knowing when to buy and sell ect.. when I have completed my homework and studying on the stock. Q4 Is it ever to late, better to start younger or older? Thank you again, from every video you have posted, I have been learning everyday something new from them after work but how do I know if I’m good or not in the long term of investing. It’s simply easier to quit and give up before we even start. Thanks Mickey

Such a helpful video!!! I had the EXACT same question presented at the beginning of the video. Other introductory videos seem to gloss over these details - they always present it without discussing the buyer-seller interactions that make up stock trading. Those videos were so useless and never presented anything new but at least I found your video! Instant subscribe! THANK YOU

Mate I have watched the first video and it was clear, I watched this one its even getting clear for me now I understand even much better, because previously I have been focused too much on the goal than mastering the process, Thanks mate!

I love how I'm only 11and I already know how the stock market works because my dad taught me how it works when I was 8.

and what is in it for the broker? Like does he charge for his service?

Man this completely de-mystified the whole concept of money for me. Jesus. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT EXPLANATION!!! I don't have anyone in my life who could have explained this stuff to me. SUPER HELPFUL! Greetings from Germany

Thank you for this video Clay! Love it! 🎉

Can it be a blueberry pie instead of pizza?

So is buying stock just buying Value ?

This was so helpful. GREAT!

Thanks. You did an excellent job of explaining this to a beginner.

*watches one basic video* “I have the knowledge”

How do the companies make money?

Day by day I'm definitely learning, thank you!

good lord, thank you for explaining this. i don't know why i wasn't wrapping my head around this concept, but your explanation helped me out.

Do you have to be clever to trade?? im 14yrs old i want to trade when im older. Im in top set for most of my classes at school but i just cant seem to remeber all these key terms etc.😂😂

Bruh $5.00 - $8.50 = $3.50????? Wait what
