I am an art teacher, a visual learner, and I have made some great returns in the stock market, more than doubling my investments. With banks offering laughable interest rates, sometimes stocks are a good way to make your money work for you, but it should be done with caution and open eyes. If trading with real money is scary, you can create a virtual portfolio for free and play before you invest.
This guide is focused squarely on making profits, with a goal of doubling your investment within a year or two. I use a visual method to screen potential stocks, and after a bit of research, buy those stocks, and sell them when they have reached my target price. This is NOT about buying stocks and holding them for many years, passing them onto your beneficiaries. It's about finding opportunities to make a profit.
