How to Make Money by Jobbing in the Stock Market


Open a brokerage account that lets you buy and sell stocks and bonds. You can opt to work through a traditional brokerage account, where a broker provides personalized service and advice. The fees for a traditional account often make them prohibitive for the frequent buy-and-sell pattern of stock jobbing. Online brokerage accounts, which provide minimal personalized service and advice, provide the advantage of much lower fees for trading, which lends itself to jobbing.
Understand how a stock chart tracks the past performance of a stock in terms of price. Stock charts typically include graphs that show price movement as jagged lines that cover days, weeks or months of past trading. Some charts represent price movements as vertical bars, called candlesticks, that show the top and bottom prices for a given day.
Understand the support and resistance levels of stocks. Some stocks will persistently fall to a particular price, rise to a particular price and then fall back to the original price. These are the support and resistance levels. The support level, at which the price bottoms out, represents the point at which demand picks up and investors begin to buy. The resistance level, at which the price peaks, represents the point at which demand falls off and investors begin to sell the stock.
Choose an appropriate stock to purchase. Stock selection for jobbing requires you to research the market. The right stocks exhibit ongoing price fluctuations but with relatively predictable support and resistance levels. After you find a stock that shows volatility, but within predictable limits, you wait for the stock to reach its support level and then purchase shares. After the stock reaches its resistance level, you sell the stock shares and pocket the difference. To make stock jobbing profitable, you need to select stocks that demonstrate a large enough difference between support and resistance levels that, when you sell, you make enough to pay the fees and taxes but still make a profit.
Pay your taxes. You are responsible for paying short-term capital gains taxes at your current tax rate for profits on stock jobbing. The Internal Revenue Service may require you to pay estimated tax payments on jobbing profits. Consult with your accountant to determine if or when you need to make payments.

How to Transfer Stock Into an IRA


Open an IRA account. Before you can transfer stock into an IRA, you must establish one at a financial services firm. Most banks or brokerage houses should be able to set one up for you if your provide them with basic financial information, such as name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and beneficiaries. Inform the firm that you wish to transfer stock into the account and ask if there are any special restrictions or requirements.
Bring your stock certificates into your financial services firm. The most secure way to transfer stock into your IRA is to simply bring the physical certificates into the firm. If you are taking your certificates from another IRA account to make your transfer, you have 60 days to make the rollover deposit to avoid taxation on the full value of your stock. Sign the back of the certificates to endorse them over to the firm for your benefit. Inform your firm that this is a transfer, and not a deposit or contribution. Ask for a receipt of your deposit.
Contact the custodian of your stock certificates and request a transfer. If you would rather transfer your stock directly, contact the firm which holds your stock on your behalf and say you want to make a trustee-to-trustee transfer. The delivering firm will request the name of the firm where your IRA is held, your account number, and other firm-specific information.
Monitor your transfer. Whether you deposit your stock in person or electronically, follow the transfer to make sure that your stock arrives in the correct account and in the correct amount. Usually, you can check your account status online, or if you haven't established such a connection with your firm, contact your financial adviser and verify the status of the transfer. You can also check your monthly statements, although you should generally check on your transfer sooner.

How to Read Stock Charts for Beginners (5 Steps)


Locate the stock symbol at the top of stock chart. The chart will also contain information about the stock's highs and lows (depicted by vertical bars), the volume traded (shown by a bar graph at the bottom of the chart), and the closing price in plain English.
Find the trend direction by looking at a 20-day and 50-day moving average (MA). Moving averages are generally located below the stock symbol on a chart. For example, an MA might be (20) 45.30. That means the moving 20-day average is 45.30 for the last 20 days. A general rule of thumb is that if the 20-day MA is above the 50-day, then the stock is trending up; if the 20-day MA is below the 50-day, the stock is trending down. You can also spot an upward trend by noticing a graph tending toward the top right corner of the graph; a downward trending stock will start creeping toward the bottom right.
Identify the price support. A price support is a low point in trading that the stock never falls below. On a graph, the stock might go up and down haphazardly; you want to find the point on the graph that's the lowest.
Identify the price resistance. In general, price resistance is the point on the graph where the price 'tops out.' In other words, the maximum value on the graph. Price resistance is the opposite of price support.
Repeat the above steps for as many stocks as possible over a few weeks. You'll begin to notice trends, and will be more able to identify price support and resistance over a period of time. You'll also be able to see when the price resistance breaks through; when this happens, it can make for a flurry of trading, as it usually means something exciting has been announced in that particular company.
