As many areas as I’ve covered in regard to money the stock market is one area I stayed away from. Before, the idea of investing in the stock market myself scared the bejeezus out of me. No thanks, I’d rather put money in savings, or my 401K that’s managed and has an employer match.
Still I had an interest. But pulling up a reputable stock site seemed overwhelming. Watching numbers drop as quickly as they rise. Everyone knows the stock market isn’t a sure thing. Especially for someone uneducated in it like myself. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, common stocks, sponsored stocks. I don’t know!
My husband got into it. He was doing fairly well with penny stocks. In fact, he did well enough that we were able to use the money as a down payment on our new house. We don’t have the funds to invest big but he did well with what he had to work with.
I had a personal interest in investing in Tesla. I’ve been reading the articles. They’re doing new and innovative things. I could go into all my reasoning but that would be another article. So I started an account and started watching things. Reading things. Tesla however was $300 something a share and rising. I’m not ready to invest to buy even one share financially. At least not yet.
Then I learned about Stockpile. It seemed the reasonable solution for someone like me. Someone that doesn’t have a deep wallet for investing but still wants to invest. Stockpile allows you to buy fractional shares in companies like: Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Under Armour, Snapchat, etc. The stocks that the average joe can’t buy 100 shares in, or in 5 shares in some cases. Simply fund your account with your bank account or debit card. It’s 99 cents a buy or trade. It makes it easy for you to find the companies you want to invest in. They’ve also started selling Stockpile gift card at the grocery store. When friends and family ask what you want for your birthday or the holidays you can ask for Stockpile gift cards now!
In this way, you can start investing in companies you wouldn’t normally be able to invest in. It allows people on a budget to invest what they can afford without breaking the budget. Right now, Stockpile has a deal where when you use my influencer link you’ll get $5 to use towards stock with your first $10 stock or e-gift purchase.
